Top Chef in South Florida Celebrate Your Kids! - HERLIFE Magazine

welcome
Waiting to
Exhale!
I
n the anticipation of the arrival of HERLIFE
Magazine, I think I forgot to breathe, let
alone exhale! Well, the magazine has finally
arrived, and now am waiting in anticipation to
hear what the women of South Florida think about
HERLIFE Magazine. So what are you waiting for?
Drop me a line and tell me! As I wait to exhale,
I think of women who go about their busy lives,
always on the go, being mom, employee, partner;
caring for the needs of everyone else, but
neglecting time for herself. So, I ask each of you in
your busy lives, do you remember to breathe and
more importantly exhale?
I know that we all have to balance and juggle
our daily activities. I know I do! I am a mother

of three active children. Khristopher is 16 and a
sophomore at SunCoast High School. Kellen, my
ten-year-old son, is in 4th grade, and Kelsey, my nine-year-old daughter is in 3rd grade. They both attend Discovery Key Elementary
School and are full-time models! I am also the wife of Shawn. How could I forget that! Did I mention in my spare time I am
the Team Developmental Chairperson for the Relay for Life of Wellington? Yes, we need your help! Come out and volunteer! As a
cancer survivor, I know how important it is to give back.
Breathe and Exhale! I am having so much fun right now with the launching of HERLIFE Magazine. I have met some
wonderful women who have and will honor us by being our cover girls. They are all so inspirational and I am sure that their
stories will touch your lives and spirits. I am also thankful for our photographers, who are out in the community, capturing the
events that matter the most to you. As you are reading the magazine, take a minute, breathe…and then exhale.
Remember, even if you are a working mother, a stay-at-home mother or a single woman, if you do not take care of yourself,
you won’t be here to take care of those you love. So as I write this, and think about how I want HERLIFE Magazine to inspire you, I
remind myself the importance of taking some “me” time. And why not? I deserve it! So, breathe…and exhale.
