editor's letter
Hello Dear Reader,
Another season will soon be upon us. Summer passed at lightening speed for me I focus on the tasks at hand and not actually enjoying the moment I'm in, this is one area in my life i have yet to simplify.
I have to admit I did not think the fall issue would ever be published. I became consummed with health issues and moving and all other daily life activities,which saddens me, considering the fall season has always been a favorite of mine.
One morning, mid July, it was raining heavily outside which kept me from my normal morning walk so I sat down and decided I was going to start the fall issue. I figured if I had worked on the magainze as much as i had sat and stressed over everything else
going on or what could go on I could have had the magazine
finished already.
You see the magazine is not a HAVE TO its a I want TO for me, a hobby, something to occupy my downtime. A place to gather all the creativity rummaging around in my mind, its a stress reliever. and I just couldn't pass not doing a fall issue after all the rave reviews of my hard work on the Summer Issue, so I think that in itself was a push to continue.
So many of you inspire me each day not just with your creativity, but with just how you go about life in general. Why not make life the best we can and show and inspire others to do the same for themselves.
A little encouragement from someone is all it takes sometimes whether its a family member, a close friend, or a stranger from the internet. I"ll leave on that note and wish you all a wonderful fall season and remind you to SIMPLIFY your life, enjoy the days ahead, and cherish the loved ones around you!
