But we also move on by healing and growing, by reevaluating and reinventing, and by restoring and recreating.

And so, we've decided to devote this issue to healing and growing and reinventing. In fact, we've called this issue a special "Reinventing yourself for the new year" issue. In doing so, we bring you a number of fascinating articles.

The first, by our own Managing Editor Denise Amrich, is about Yoga and the Chakra system. The word Yoga, by the way, is derived from the Sanskit, meaning union or joining. Can you think of a better concept at this time? Denise is a Yoga master and she shows you how certain Palm OS products can be related to the body's Chakras, or energy centers. It's an article not to be missed.

Another article is my own. Both Denise and I recently attended a fascinating course on an obscurely named discipline called NLP, which stands for Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP is a fascinating practice that can help you, almost literally, rewire some of your habits and limiting beliefs. It too is a topic ideally suited for this time of growth and rediscovery.

Of course, we have our usual crop of useful tips, techniques, and reviews, so no matter what your taste or interest, you're sure to find something useful in this issue.

That about wraps it for now. Have a great holiday, be strong, and, to steal a great line from the recruiters, be all you can be. See you next year.
