Her Culture Bi-Monthy Magazine February/March 2014 | Page 2

Dear You,

Welcome to the THIRD issue of Her Culture's bi-monthly magazine. Words escape me as I try to explain how happy and full of gratitude I am for how this organization has grown. And since this is primarily an issue dedicated to Valentine's Day, I want to share the love that I have received with you.

I understand how difficult it is to accept your true self and to love all of your abilities. It's even harder to love your flaws. But above loving someone else is the ability to love yourself. The way you know how to love someone else's faults if you find the brighter side sof your own. The way you know how to love someone else's talents is if you accept that yours are beautiful and amazing.

I am sure that you are going to adore this issue. I, personally, enjoyed working with author Jill Knapp-Zitron to discuss her new novel, Chase, and her love of culture. She is such a talented woman and truly has a lot to tell the world.

It was also interesting learning about how different cultures celebrate Valentine's Day. Who knew that the holiday was not just filled with Hallmark cards and Russel Stover chocolate?

Bringing these cultures and people together is what truly makes Her Culture an amazing experience, and I am lucky to have such a great team to work with. Within just five months of Her Culture's opening, we have a team of 20 girls from across the United States, have an ongoing and established blog, have created multiple partnerships (soon to be announced!) and now have awesome women being interviewed. I cannot express how grateful I am to share my culture and to learn the culure of others.

With all my love and gratitude,

Kate Avino
