Letter from our Editor

Happy 2020! Life is moving fast, and the team at ES Magazine is working to share inspirational stories of entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, models and more. I recently saw a photo of Matthew McConaughey wearing a shirt that said, “just keep livin.” The phrase makes me smile. Life is hard and can be cruel. We love and lose, but those of us who are blessed to see a new morning today have an opportunity to change the world around us for the better. The older I get the faster time flies and I don’t want to waste a minute. In this last season of my life, I learned to live life to the max and enjoy peaceful moments of rest. Singing, laughing, and time spent with family all make each day worthwhile. Each story we share in these pages celebrates those who choose to “just keep livin,” and oh how they do it well. Are you excited, overwhelmed, anxious or dreading the new year ahead? Just keep livin’!

While filming Dazed and Confused, Matthew McConaughey was struggling with the passing of his father. It was during this time that he was overtaken by a saying that would soon change his life: “just keep livin” or “j.k. livin” as it’s called. The just keep livin Foundation was started by Matthew and Camila McConaughey and is dedicated to empowering high school students by providing them with the tools to lead active lives and make healthy choices for a better future.
