Editor’ Page s Welcome to Peachy, a new online magazine that nurtures an abundant life! An abundant life is a special trip with your family, fresh food, great style, exploring beautiful gardens, taking the time to smell that perfect rose, finding the right interior for your family to create a place of rest and refuge, connecting with friends, being healthy and most of all finding the right balance in all. An abundant life is exquisite over expensive. It might take a lifetime to discern the difference, but we are going for it. With assistant Henry. Photo by Jessica Milligan. Growing up, we called our grandmother “Peachy.” Peachy had a passion for life. She loved art, architecture, ballet, museums, delicious food, beautiful gardens and special things. She loved for us to dress in costume at dinner and it was even better if we brought a friend. She would sit for hours at our beach house, peeling mangos and squeezing limes over them so we could taste their fresh juicy sweetness. If you have ever peeled mangoes you know it is an act of love. Peachy had a nurturing heart and instilled in us a love of the good life.
