Hello Gazetta Readers,
So……This past month has been a powerful reminder of what truly matters. My younger sister visited Dallas, and with my mother and brother joining us, it became a grounding, joyful family reunion. She’s always been my best friend, someone I can rely on through anything, and her commitment to keeping us close is inspiring. Sitting around, laughing, sharing stories both old and new, It brought back to me the strength of family and how those connections keep us steady, even in a world that’s constantly changing.
This month’s theme, “Elemental Fluidity,” is all about grounding and connection. Our cover captures the essence of nature’s power—its ethereal, almost sculptural quality embodying both movement and stillness, quiet strength, adaptability, and depth. There’s a unique beauty in this balance, one we’ve explored throughout the issue.
I’m happy to introduce two new voices to the Gazetta family. Sonia Haboub, our newest writer and an athlete herself, brings a unique perspective in “The Balance Secret Behind Committed Athletes.” With her words and photographs, she offers a look into the equilibrium between physical strength and mental clarity—a balance so many of us seek. And I’m excited to welcome my friend from college, Robert McFadden, who has joined us as a guest contributor. In “Year-End Tax Planning for Entrepreneurs,” Robert makes a topic that’s often daunting feel accessible and almost enjoyable.
Our regular contributors bring their own interpretations of grounding and fluidity. Chantal Ho-A-Hing’s “Capture Life’s Little Luxuries” highlights the perspective of Evita Dhondai, a mother and photographer, who finds beauty in life’s everyday moments. EVVIE 7 takes us to unforgettable experiences, from the refined atmosphere of “Zuma Riyadh” to timeless comfort in “Santoni Easy.” My piece, “Ripples of Movement: The Liquid Revolution in Fashion,” explores how designers are drawing inspiration from nature’s fluidity, creating styles that flow and adapt like the elements themselves.
Mova Wonen NL offers inspiration for those drawn to the warmth of home with “Autumn at Home,” blending style and coziness. Manuela Pirola’s “Is Neutrality Becoming the New Trend in Fashion?” uncovers the quiet sophistication of neutral tones—a subtle yet bold shift in the fashion world. And Alexandra Popescu-Zorica’s “Outsmart the Giants” shows how small businesses are using AI to redefine their place in the market, proving that innovation and agility are often a perfect match.
We’re also excited to announce the upcoming launch of Gazetta’s new podcast, where we’ll take a closer look at this issue’s articles and discussions. A big thank you to our Tech Architect and partner, Yousef Hammoda, for bringing this idea to life. Stay tuned!
This issue, like those family moments that stay with us, is filled with reflections on nature’s beauty and the grounding forces in our lives. I hope you find something here that speaks to your own journey and offers a fresh perspective.
With appreciation,
