In This Issue
As we turn the corner to a new year, we explore the theme of “Rising From the Ashes” in this December issue. In these pages, we celebrate those who have been through hardship, found a way to eliminate obstacles and bounced back to success – or helped others reach their potential.
We start with Jenevieve Fisher, a cancer survivor who turned her experience into a book to educate children who are going through the same ordeal. We continue with the winding career paths and personal journeys of Laura Longley, Ione LeBlanc, Vicki VanArsdale, Red Katz, Ron Flavin and many others. There is also advice on how to avoid future pitfalls from Jeanne Brutman, Annie Searle and Kenneth N. Rashbaum, plus a look back at several inspiring historical tales of redemption. We hope you’ll find something inspiring on every page.
