Editorial Notes So we’re in 2012. Some think the world is going to end this year. Well, if it is, we should guard our health in order to enjoy this last year to the utmost. If it isn’t, all the more reason to take good care of ourselves, so as to celebrate the many years to come. Either way, keeping healthy, working hard and enjoying meaningful activities should be part of not only our resolutions, but our menu for life. In this first issue of 2012 we feature useful articles on healthy living, and include some ideas for your leisure and entertainment. Many of us escape to another world as a pastime - for some it’s Narnia; for others it’s Middle Earth; yet others prefer lands inhabited by vampires and warlocks. But what if the fiction world coincides with our city, except that events mysterious, rather than mundane, are taking place? This is the world of Randy Craig, an amateur detective who seems unable to shed her deadly affinity with dead bodies. Our cover story unravels the mysterious parallels between this fictional character and Edmonton author Janice MacDonald. MacDonald shares with us choice bits about herself - both fact and fiction. Our health morsels include six skin resolutions for 2012 brought to you by Sharon Mayr, advice on coping with Type II diabetes by Anne Stropel, tips on hearing protection and ideas on how to be physically active. In tune with Valentine’s Day, we share with you Jane Atkinson’s advice: to snag your guy, stop playing small and start showing your best foot forward - brains and all. Incidentally, for those brainy women in advanced technology fields, CanWIT (Canadian Women in Technology) has launched a national eMentorship program to support them in their career by matching them to mentors in their field. We bring you the details of this program. Can you believe we’ve suffered very few frostbites and the winter is almost over? It’s been a good year (winter-wise). Cheers to more good years!
