Dear Readers, Last Summer, I achieved one of my life-long dreams by vacationing in Jamaica. And yes, having watched the 1990s film, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, definitely contributed to my desire to experience the heart and pulse of that tropical island. Although my belief was that I would have great fun in the sun, much needed relaxation, as well as see and learn new things from the people and their culture, I had no idea how deeply Jamaica would impact me. Within my first 24 hours there, my entire approach to my business and this magazine was transformed. My transformation resulted from a bathroom disaster. It was about 8 o’clock at night that while preparing to soak in my whirlpool tub, one of the jets came loose and water went everywhere. I mean, the entire bathroom floor was flooded! I panicked, and believing that the housekeeping staff weren’t still available, I decided to go to the front desk to get towels. While making my way down the resort hotel hallway, an Angel appeared. When I told this amazing housekeeping woman about my disaster, she anticipated my emotional need by immediately saying, “no problem”, and then provided the most unexpected, outstanding, beyond excellent room service. She cleaned up my mess, repaired the jet, and remained calm and non-judgemental the whole time. After taking a much needed relaxing bath, I did my nightly journaling and wrote about how I wanted to bring that level of excellence and service to my businesses. I was inspired to rethink and renew my approach to the purpose and mission of both my travel business and magazine. This has led to the launching of the now titled, Be Well Travel and Lifestyle Magazine.
