PUBLISHER'S MESSAGE
Spring… a time to follow those dreams!
In this issue, we're sharing the stories of women who did just that. One inspiring story follows a local female farmer who left it all behind to start fresh in the Okanagan… it was truly a dream come true!
Lift the mental fog and change your mind’s performance by shifting your focus to brain health; our cover features Cindy, an intelligent, hard working mom who has inspired many people by speaking on this very subject.
Almost half of moms admit to being ‘obsessed’ with worries about their children. Although parental anxiety is instinctual, understandable, and even useful, excessive amounts can harm both moms and their families. To all you lovely Mom’s out there, we have something to help you lose that anxiety or at least understand it better. The article, Always Anxious? on page 22, defines how much worry is too much, and offers tips for breaking the worry cycle.
During those quiet moments, we encourage you to read some local literature from our very own award-winning authors. We have a lot of writing talent in the Valley!
We know this is a trying time for our community and for the world as a whole. The Okanagan Woman team wishes everyone a very safe and healthy season
With love,
Suzy
