When the articles for this issue started coming in, I began to wonder if someone was trying to tell me something: The Sandwich Generation, A Hitchhiker's Guide to Chiropractic, Pilates, and Why All Trusts Are Not Created Equal. Yes, I'm at that age where all of these things pique my interest.
Then I read a quote in one of the articles that made me think. The author is listed as unknown, but most of us have heard it: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by every moment that takes our breath away." Reading it again, I was reminded that those moments are out there. I don't have to go looking for them - I merely need to be aware.
That awareness is what we hope to bring you: ideas for breathtaking moments. Whether it's a journey to Amsterdam with our intrepid travel contributor, Susan Lanier-Graham; a fine wine with our wine sleuth, Karl Von Senden; pizza on the grill with Chef Brad; a tour of the European Fine Arts Fair; or simply learning what's best for your body - we offer you wonderful ways to live the best life.
And because it's a long, hot Arizona summer, we know you're kicking back by the pool. Isn't that always better with a good book? To help you choose, we asked Arizona authors what they're reading this summer, over on our Editor's Choice page. Whatever you do, enjoy the View!
