Publisher’ s Corner Where does the time go?
OutBoisemag. com | Issue 19 | May 2016
I ask myself this question all the time. In our day-to-day lives, most of us don’ t bother to stop and take the time to look long enough to see how far we’ ve really come.
For me, I get a monthly reminder of exactly how far I’ ve come. When I sit down in front of the computer, and I get ready to put everything together for a new edition of this magazine,
In the depths of the memory on my laptop lay over two years worth of stories. Stories from people within our community put together by some great people I’ ve come to know. Stories of the accomplishments I’ ve helped to achieve, both small and big.
I’ m not here to brag about it though. I’ m here to celebrate what has come out of it all. There are so many people who have touched my own life; people who have stepped up to the challenge, knowing there is no financial reward behind what we do, most of the time.
It isn’ t about personal recognition, and it isn’ t about trying to build a better reputation for myself. Perhaps, in the beginning, that was part of my motivation, but it definitely isn’ t what motivates me to get the job done any more.
This magazine has grown from the first issue,
in so many ways, that it is hard to believe it is the same publication it was in the beginning. Our writers have grown and developed, and we’ ve gone far beyond the cell phone pictures we used to take.
This month, I wanted to take a unique look behind the curtain and show you some of the amazing people who have helped make this magazine a success.
These people have helped out in any way they can, without asking for anything in return. And, for the most part, none of them have ever asked for an ounce of recongition.
I wanted to give them all a moment to say thank you, and to show the community who all has been a part of this fantastic journey. ENJOY!
