editor’s letter
“MARIA” “The most beautiful sound I have ever heard.. Maria, Maria, Maria. All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word” (the opening line of “Maria” sung by the ill fated lead character Tony in the Broadway musical “Westside story” 1956). “Maria” was and will always be the most beautiful word and the most beautiful friend and woman I have ever met. As we put the finishing touches on Lick Magazine’s 2015 Spring Lifestyle issue I am very proud and happy of all our accomplishments, beautiful visuals, pet stories and celebrity interviews. I am also reminded of my good friend Maria who passed away this season last year and whose birthday is celebrated this month. Lick Magazine was created with passion and love for animals-- A tribute to those who live life each day with love, passion and compassion for everyone they meet (human and animal alike). Pet people are like no other. Maria was one of those people-- beautiful inside and out. This photo of “Maria” and a friends dog reminds me of her just like it was yesterday. As we move into Spring let us stop and enjoy the blooms of the season. Stop and smell the roses. Take a walk with your dog. Play with your cat. Enjoy your significant other and if you don’t have one get one. Enjoy the present as it is “a present”. Remember to live each day with love, support and appreciation of everything and everyone (people and pets) that are good in your life. Enjoy the “simple” things and take nothing for granted. As “Spring is here”!! .. So Beautiful and Bright .. And then it’s .. “ gone”. The most beautiful word I have ever heard in a single word.. “Maria” Always remembering you with love. We dedicate our first issue to you, your passion for life and your love for people and animals. Barbara Barbara@lickmagazine.com
