FROM THE PUBLISHER 2016 Living Well Magazine Celebrates 10 Years of Service 2006 TEXOMA AREA President & CEO Sam Houston Vice president & CFO Spring Houston Feature Writer, copy editor & social media director Sondra Barr Art Director, layout, Production & website design Lewis Schucart Advertising/Sales Texas | Denton County, Dallas County, Collin County Texas & Oklahoma | Texoma Follow Your Heart A South African-American bombshell, Charlize Theron’s enticing, magnetic on-air charisma and charm have earned her fans across the globe. She’s scored Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and Screen Actor Guild Awards. Most recently, however, it’s the 41-year- old’s work beyond the big screen that is the most meaningful to her. The adoptive mother of two leads a simple, low-maintenance life. She doesn’t have to work all the time to live, giving her time to focus on her two young children and her efforts for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP), which helps to support African youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS. She’s also vocal about women’s rights and is an active member of PETA. “It’s such a blessed place to be in. I don’t have to take a job to pay a mortgage on a house that I can’t afford,” she’s said in interviews. Her life comes first, which is something we should all strive for. While most of us don’t have the types of careers that afford us the luxury to work at-will, leading a simple, fulfilling life where giving back is a prior- ity is something we can all aspire to. Turn to Theron’s story inside for inspiration on how to follow what’s in your heart. Of course, that’s hard to do if you’re in pain or have health issues, which is why LIVING WELL is dedicated to bringing you the latest health and wellness information from leading professionals in their fields. Inside you’ll find a wealth of tools to lead a more healthful life. For instance, turn to page 38 for six steps on how to heal your thyroid. Or, turn to page 46 to learn about advances in pain management. There’s more, of course. So jump in and get reading. Sincerely, Sam and Spring Houston 4 TEXOMA AREA Living Well Magazine | JULY/AUGUST 2017 WRITE TO US.
