This month's issue
JUNE
Hello, sunshine! Blue skies and warm weather makes Lola feel nearly invincible. This month, she's all about triumphing over adversity and pursuing her dreams. You'll find tips for easy goal-setting (check out the funky board game on page 40); a mountain-climbing road trip; and a phenomenal essay by a woman who decided to say ciao to Boston — and a killer job — due to her mother-in-law's Alzheimer's diagnosis. She ditched it all to move closer to family. Would you do the same?
I'm also amazed by our 10 Things interview (page 12). Lola met with Sudanese refugee Yar Ayuel, who escaped her home country as a child and settled in Boston for a fresh start. She's now happily married, getting her college degree, and raising her son. The magnitude of her resilience is astounding — and her 10 favorite things take on special, hard-won significance.
Finally, on a personal note, Lola's very own Susanne Althoff has moved on to new triumphs: She's now editor of The Boston Globe Magazine. Sadly, this means she's stepping down as Lola's editorial director. I'm delighted to be working alongside Alexandra Hall in her place.
Here's to a month spent reaching your own goals, big or small!
