So where does joy come from in life? Joy seems to flow when we’ve let go of the way life ‘should be’, when we are not pulled in for too long by either ‘triumph’ or ‘disaster’ and when we’re no longer ‘trying’ to be spiritual. Joy is following your heart and joy is beyond words.

Kasey Chambers is a joy to the world and it’s an honour to have her grace our cover this month..in fact KC is with us for two months because we have a special double bumper edition!

It’s certainly been a full year and this magazine has really taken on a life
of its own! More outlets, more readers and the Holistic Bliss team is growing too!

I remember the days (ahhh!!!) when I designed the 8 page version on my primitive software at home, I don’t think graphic design was really my forte and it was starting to get a bit dull talking to myself. Then I found a talented graphic designer and now we have three amazing people on board to weave their magic with sales and distribution…..

As tough as the publishing industry can be, we have all felt this amazing synergy being created over the last 18 months and it just keeps spreading further afield. Many people jokingly say to me it must be like giving birth each month….mmm not sure about that, but it sure is a fascinating process.

Thank-you for your continued support, YOU are a joy to the world! We’ll be back in Feb 2011 brighter, bolder and ready to check in on how all those new year’s resos are going!

Merry Christmas!
Vanessa
