Join Us for the Pulse
By AJ Beson
Do you have a holiday hangover? Are the bills coming in and making you realize that yet again, you overdid it this year? In our society, we tend to overeat, overspend, overwork, over-analyze and over-commit. When is enough good enough?
I’ll admit that this past holiday season, even though I tried to stay focused on not overdoing it, I still have that holiday hangover. Sure, we cleared out toys and donated them to charity, we tried to be frugal, we tried to avoid committing to too many holiday parties, but we found ourselves in the same boat as the year before.
I think I am finally learning that it isn’t about what you spend, how much you do or how much you have, it’s about who you are and who you surround yourself with. The readers, advertisers and partners of Beson4 Media Group are people I am happy to have a relationship with. They are stakeholders in the community invested in making our small corner of the world a better place. I take tremendous pride in my career because it means every day I surround myself with people who are motivated to make a difference and to improve the lives of those around them.
That’s why as HealthSource magazine and our company’s 10th anniversary approached, I opted out of the big anniversary bash. Instead we decided to partner with the American Heart Association and help host a party with a purpose. Please join us for the 2012 First Coast Pulse Young Professionals Party on Thursday, February 23 from 7:30 to 11 p.m. at Suite. Pulse is a group of local young professionals committed to changing the epidemic of obesity and heart disease in children. Join us for a night of cocktails, live music and great food and know that your pulse beats for the community. To learn more or to purchase tickets, call Maggie Bartlett at 904-256-5731 or visit http://www.heart.org/firstcoastheartball and click on the PULSE tab.

FLASH MOB!
Members of the Beson4 team had a blast filming and participating in the AHA’s recent flash mob!
Friday, February 3, 2012 was National Wear Red Day to raise awareness about heart disease in women. The American Heart Association (Jacksonville, Florida) took over the Jacksonville Landing at 6:30 pm that evening with this entertaining flash mob.
