Reader letters

Thank you so much for the summer edition of eRenaissance, as well as the hard copy. I found the articles on bone density and brain exercises very valuable and shared them with family and friends. I also love the idea of the long vacations during February next year. We will be looking at them in more detail.

When Renaissance arrives, it may only be in my hands for a few minutes, but it’s already connecting me with many minds and hearts unseen. It stirs up comforting feelings of camaraderie, respect and love for the many members hidden in the magazine. It makes me proud to belong to this warm, willing and intelligent group of people promoting solid values, and helping us lead an aging but healthy, productive life, loving and caring for the people around us.

I really like the new format and content.

It was wonderful to see the continued interest in the Zentangle(r) method in the summer issue of Renaissance. As the first certified Zentangle teacher (CZT) in Canada, I wrote an article for the fall 2011 issue of the magazine. Throughout the years, this method has provided hours of enjoyment, both teaching and for my own practice. As CZTs we were asked to acknowledge that Zentangle is a registered trademark.
