In the spirit of spring, the theme for the month of April at DASHA® is Beauty, so we asked co-founders and owners Dr. Darren Pollack and his wife, Shannon Russo-Pollack, for their thoughts on the subject. DASHA® is in the business of encouraging, promoting and delivering wellness, so you can “enhance your well-being.”
DASHA®: What does beauty mean to you? How would you define it?
DARREN: Beauty often refers to how something or someone may look on the outside, but it begins, first and foremost, with what is on the inside.
SHANNON: Seeing, appreciating or experiencing beauty is something that instantly makes you feel good all over. It comes from within.
DASHA®: When someone says something or someone is beautiful, what does that say to you?
DARREN: It means that thing comes from the heart, or that person has a (beautiful) heart that is warm and welcoming and full of love.
SHANNON: They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder! It is different for everyone. For me, it is a warm, pleasant sensation – that thing you see or that person you meet who makes you feel good from the inside out.
DASHA®: What makes someone or something beautiful?
DARREN: Something is beautiful when many people can experience it and feel that experience enriches their lives. A person is beautiful when their care for people and the world outside them is apparent.
SHANNON: Beauty is simple: It can be a healthy glow, a healthy mind, a healthy well-being, and then of course there are babies, love, marriage, happy families…DASHA®!
DASHA®: Why is beauty important in our lives?
DARREN: It makes the quality of our lives even better and puts us at peace.
SHANNON: Beauty is so important in our lives because it allows us to grow, reach for the stars and feel good.
DASHA®: How do you incorporate more beauty into your life?
DARREN: By doing one good deed at a time – in giving to others, we can appreciate our world and lives more.
SHANNON: By taking time to stop and breathe each and every day and appreciate our blessings and the beauty all around us!
