From heartfelt family moments to the elegance of DINE Fort Lauderdale, this month we celebrate the connections and passions that make life in our community extraordinary.
February may be the shortest month, but it’s undoubtedly one of the most vibrant. Love is in the air, whether you’re marking Valentine’s Day with your special someone, sharing sweet moments with family or simply taking time to appreciate the people who make life brighter. This month, as we explore stories of passion and purpose, I’m reminded of the love and teamwork that fuels my own life.
As a mother to three wonderful kids—our energetic 3-year-old; our first daughter who’s 7 going on superstar; and our thoughtful 8-year-old boy—and a wife to my incredible husband Randy, I know firsthand how much love shapes every decision, plan and dream. From soccer games to dance recitals, bedtime stories to busy mornings, our days are packed with the beautiful chaos that only family can bring. This sense of connection and commitment inspires me to ensure every page of this magazine reflects the same dedication.
In this issue, we catch up with Galey Alix, an innovative designer who brings passion and precision to every project. Her story of balancing creativity, entrepreneurship and heartfelt connections is a testament to what’s possible when love for craft meets unrelenting determination. Her ability to combine business savvy with artistic vision is inspiring. We celebrate this same passion for excellence in all areas of life, including the dining experiences that unite us in memorable ways.
Which brings me to DINE Fort Lauderdale, our much-anticipated culinary series. This month, we’re featuring an extraordinary five-course wine-pairing dinner at The Capital Grille. This event promises an unforgettable evening of fine dining and expertly paired wines and also the chance to support the incredible work of the Emeril Lagasse Foundation. The Capital Grille’s reputation for excellence ensures a night filled with culinary delights while celebrating the spirit of connection and community.
I encourage you to visit flmag.com/dine to learn more and secure your tickets. Spaces are limited, and you won’t want to miss this extraordinary opportunity to savor the best of Fort Lauderdale’s dining scene while making a difference in the lives of others.
Here’s to a February filled with love, laughter and meaningful moments. Whether you’re flipping through these pages with a cup of coffee or planning your next adventure, we’re honored to be a part of your experience.
