Welcome to the Spring Issue of Well. As you can see our format and some of our content has changed. The Newsletter has become more interactive and we have cut down a little on the size of the issue. What has not changed, however, is that Speakwell desires to bring you news and information that will build you up and encourage you in your goal to be healthy. Another goal we have as we head into 2008 is to increase our readership. There is no financial benefit for us; we simply want to take our "live well" message to as many people as possible. We hope that each of you will join us in this wellness goal by sending an introductory issue to five of your friends. See the Sign-up box on the bottom of this page to see how easy it is.

Our newsletter has some exciting new content areas, two of which will invite your participation. We invite you to become familiar with our new offerings and, as always, value your feedback.

You might be wondering why the change. There are several reasons. Dr. Martin Collis, the founder of Speakwell and the driving force behind it, just recently celebrated his 70th birthday (ah to look so young and be so healthy at 70)! Martin wishes to spend a little less time in the office, and therefore I will assume some of Martin's previous duties as I have just retired from a career as a high school teacher. I am excited to join the Speakwell team and look forward to sharing some of my experiences (see this article in the Winter 2004 issue of Well) as well continuing the excellent work of promoting wellness that Speakwell is known for around North America.

Finally, kudos to our web-master, Ron, for turning our ideas into a functional work of art.
We hope you enjoy. We wish you 'well'. :: Peter Mason
