A Letter From the Publisher

Welcome to Living Pride & Wellness.

I created this magazine with a simple purpose: to offer hope, encouragement, and practical inspiration for our LGBTQI+ community as we build healthier, more meaningful lives.

Wellness is not only about how we care for our bodies. It is also about the relationship we have with ourselves—the way we speak to ourselves, honor our needs, and make room for joy. It is about learning to set healthy boundaries and creating relationships grounded in respect, honesty, and love, whether you are dating, beginning a new chapter, or nurturing a long-term partnership.

This past July, my husband Mike and I celebrated 24 years together. That milestone reminded me that healthy love is not about perfection. It is built through patience, communication, growth, and choosing one another again and again. It also begins with knowing and honoring yourself.

My hope is that Living Pride & Wellness becomes a place where you feel seen, supported, and inspired—a place that encourages you to live fully and move forward with confidence in whatever season of life you are in.

Cheers to you, your well-being, and the path ahead. Wherever you are on your journey, I am grateful you are here.

With pride and gratitude,

Founder & Publisher Living Pride & Wellness
