@juliehaesche journey into the healing arts was prompted by struggles with psoriatic arthritis and the desire to empower others. Today, the Washington resident is a certified, award-winning yoga and meditation teacher hosting outdoor classes throughout Litchfield County.
“The physical and emotional toll of PA led me on a mission to heal myself and find balance in my life again.

Susan Bednar Long is an interior designer residing between Connecticut and Texas. Trained at a design firm in Los Angeles, she later moved to New York City where she cut her teeth designing retail stores for Ralph Lauren. She went on to establish her own full-service design firm, @sblonginteriors , a business that designs high-end residential projects in the United States and Europe.
“I call my style modern traditional. Most of my projects are a mix of that. I love traditional, but I like to do it in a clean and tailored way,” explains Bednar Long. “If I’m doing an architecturally modern house, then I like to infuse it with warmer furnishings. Vice versa, if it’s a very traditional house, then it’s fun to have more modern furnishings.”

Trail Magic is the name hikers give to the spontaneous acts of kindness from “trail angels” that help fuel their journeys. It might include snacks or drinks left along the trail, access to a shower, or a ride to a nearby town. These acts of generosity, along with more formal volunteer efforts, are part of life along the 52-plus miles of the trail that runs through Connecticut from Sherman to Salisbury and is a celebrated part of the 2,190-mile walking trail that runs from Georgia to Maine.
