As the cover of this edition of Chic Compass magazine, fabulous, talented Debbie Gibson brings your attention to the idea that you can create the life you want if you work hard and follow your heart. Like her, we all have dreams, and like others in this magazine, you will see how they have succeeded. And that is what this issue of Chic Compass magazine is all about \u2026 following your heart.<\/p>\n

Once again, our multi-talented writers have done a splendid job bringing us stories that demonstrate how that has played a part in many lives. In this same vein, it is our pleasure to share Ann Parenti\u2019s delightful winding tale of how she became the publisher of Chic Compass magazine and Wanda Luna\u2019s story of becoming the owner of Universal Furniture by never losing faith in herself.<\/p>\n

On the health side, there\u2019s an inspiring, hopeful article regarding Bridge Counseling (headed by David Rubeck) that focuses on the lack of mental health services here in Las Vegas, especially for children. The issue of children\u2019s mental health and well-being in Nevada is mounting with an increased need for more facilities and services. At present, our valley has only two children\u2019s mental health facilities, both of which are severely underfunded and understaffed. By receiving a $500,000 grant from Nevada Women\u2019s Philanthropy (NWP) to build a children\u2019s wing at Bridge Counseling, Rubeck shares what he and his organization are doing to make a difference and help children.<\/p>\n

We are always excited to see what the gifted, creative David Tupaz brings us from the fashion world. He outdoes himself with every issue, and this time is no different. We\u2019ll get to see some of the fabulous outfits David has designed for Debbie Gibson, as well as photos from the London Show and the fashion show in Los Angeles, giving us a glimpse of some of the fashion trends we can expect for 2022.<\/p>\n

Never disappointing, it\u2019s always a delight to see which artists and their work will be highlighted in each issue, and this time Chic Compass magazine shares with you articles about the work of Beti Kristof and James Stanford. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

In light of the COVID, we are still traveling and dining out. You will find a fascinating article about the history of California\u2019s Sta. Rita Hills Wine Region and all there is to celebrate there. You won\u2019t want to miss reading about the Lake Village in Desert Shores. Any bride, fortunate to have her wedding occur there at one of the different settings available, won\u2019t be disappointed. It\u2019s the place to be with its expansion and so many famous chefs on board with a choice of authentic gourmet food to ensure that the Lake Village is known for its True Luxury Lifestyle. It has it all!<\/p>\n

There is so much more to share with you. We offer many exciting blogs from some of our newest writers. Catch up with our writers on all our social media sites. I can\u2019t wait for you to see what\u2019s inside this edition of Chic Compass magazine. As you read each piece, I hope that you enjoy it as much as we did to create it for you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
