Letter from the Publisher April 2009 Dear Life Bites News Readers, Easter represents colored eggs, happy times with family and friends, and the celebration of Christ. Palm Sunday and Easter have been very special to me since I was a child, and I look forward to them each year. The celebration of this sacred day is universal, and brings us all together in a spirit of peace and love.
In this issue we have focused primarily on great local and national travel tips, lifestyle news, and suggestions for spring break vacations, as well as healthy new food ideas and products from the ExpoWest event held in Anaheim, California in March. "Book Bites" in our April issue has some great reads, and Cody Hilton has some suggestions for spring break.
Our "Health Minded" section is filled with helpful ideas to be well, and we have some hot wine and beverage news. The Taste of Solvang celebrates another year in the Santa Ynez Valley, and we will share it with you. The world renowned restaurant "Thompson's" in the Fitzwilliam Hotel in Dublin will give you a glimpse of four star dining on the Emerald Isle.
We hope your Easter is peaceful and happy. We thank you for joining us this month, and we look forward to our Mother's Day issue, which will be devoted to some extraordinary women. If you have any questions regarding editorial or advertising rates please email us at: tolifebites@aol.com or writebc@aol.com. Cordially,
Bonnie Carroll Publisher/Editor Quote for April: “The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join in the dance.” ~Alan Watts
