Letter From Our Editor
There is something timeless about summer—the way light stretches across the day, the way we instinctively seek beauty, warmth, and connection. It’s not just a season, it’s a state of being. One that invites us to step outside of routine and into something softer, slower, and more intentional.
This issue, BENEATH THE SUN, is a celebration of that shift.
Within these pages, you’ll find sun-drenched destinations, soul-stirring sounds, and the quiet luxury of simply being. Whether it’s a vineyard weekend tucked in the hills of California, a sailboat ride along Lake Michigan, or a moment of stillness in the golden hour light—every feature is meant to bring you back to what truly nourishes.
We explore the art of recharging—not as something indulgent, but as something essential. We listen to artists whose voices carry emotion and honesty. And we travel with our eyes open, our hearts full, and our pace slowed—choosing presence over pressure.
This is more than a magazine. It’s an invitation to experience life beneath the sun—with intention, with beauty, and with soul.
Thank you for being here.
With all my warmth,
Monica Lofstrom
