As Oregano’s restaurant is fond of saying: “Insert Dry Heat Joke Here,” there’s no easy way to deal with the hot summer months in our beautiful state. However, there are plenty of activities to do—yes, outside—for you and your entire family—all relatively close.
Inside this issue, not only do we feature some of the best places to visit in Arizona that will help you stay cool, but our expanded calendar of events section will also keep you plenty busy this summer!
I am incredibly grateful for the dozens of letters you have written and phone calls you have made expressing your sincere appreciation for MyLIFE Magazine. I am humbled by your comments. In the past six months, our publication has grown more than 500 percent and continues to be Arizona’s fastest-growing lifestyle magazine—a lightning rod for what’s going on locally, nationally and worldwide—so we know we’re on the right track! And, our passion is as strong as ever!
Our cover story features actress Erica Dasher from ABC Family’s hottest new TV show, “Jane by Design.” Our CEO Series features Dr. Letitia Chambers from the Heard Museum. Dr. Chambers shares her life experiences working in various prominent roles and talks about character and her core principles, and how she incorporates them into everyday life. In The Coveted Lord Stanley’s Cup, we examine the Cup’s rich history and its impact on the National Hockey League over the decades. You will learn why it’s considered by many athletes to be the most sought-after championship trophy in professional sports—not to mention that it was within the Phoenix Coyotes’ grasp in May. I congratulate the team for its amazing effort during the playoffs, and for having the best Stanley Cup showing in the franchise’s history.
On a more serious note, Alzheimer’s disease is one of the fastest-growing diseases among maturing adults, especially among baby boomers. Its effects are devastating. In an op-ed, we offer an insight into what family members and caregivers might experience when loved ones are afflicted with this silent killer, with a focus on how to care for the affected person.
