New Opportunities are Blossoming
Spring
is finally arriving this month. The anticipation is building as we dream big in
our planting planning. “Spring is the time of plans and projects,” said Leo
Tolstoy. We agree! We have outdoor-related articles about backyard
biodiversity, pollinator corridors, beneficial teas from trees, top essential
herbs to grow and more. Our food and nutrition focus in this March issue
includes articles about 2024 food trends, colon health, an interview with
Jeffrey Smith about the dangers of GMOs and other interesting articles. Our
health brief section includes a new study done by Connecticut’s Middlesex
Health about the beneficial effect of acupuncture on long-term COVID symptoms.
The state organizations of many of our
healthy living practitioners and businesses start holding their big annual
events in the spring, including ones for farmers/gardeners, chiropractors,
naturopaths and others. Please come say hi to me if you see Natural
Awakenings at these events as we will have a presence at many of them. Hope
to see our farmers and gardeners at CT NOFA’s March 23rd event (see
page 6)!
Our News Briefs section is chock full of
new news about area businesses and events. If you are in the New London and
Middlesex Counties areas, please come to two networking events with Natural
Awakenings and Tribe TLC in Guilford and Mystic on March 7 (see page 7).
I am thrilled and grateful for our
six-county expansion to include Hartford, New London, Tolland and Windham
Counties as of the April 2024 edition. Be a part of the expanded magazine
reaching thousands of readers and potential clients with an amazing limited-time
offer of complementary ad size upgrades for the advertisers who
expand with us. Reach out by March 14th!
Here’s to spring, to the beauty of plants
and our lives blossoming, and all the promise and joy that the new season
brings.
All the best,
Ariana Rawls Fine, Publisher
