SIMPLY ELEVATE SUMMER 2015 Summer 2015 | Page 8

from the editor’s desk Greetings beloved! What a wonderful year we have had! Through each stage of this process we have grown and expanded beyond our imaginations. We have had some phenomenal features and cover stories this year. August is just as great. In keeping with the back to school craze, we highlight our educators, schools and other personal interest stories this month. Education is a key component of our lives, pertinent knowledge is essential for the growth of our children and communities. Jim Rohn taught, “Formal education will make you a living, self-education will make you a fortune.” Simply Elevate Magazine supports both formal and self-education. An individual who invests in their education establishes themselves to invest in others. Teaching someone what you have learned is a living legacy which affects the future; we never know whose life we will impact by what we give. The value of equipping ourselves to empower others is more than a commodity; it is priceless. Our children, communities, and societies are better when the people are viable and thriving. So to all educators, all students who are learning so that you may impact lives, and others who teach or provide a service to our community, we salute you. To all those who teach for the Kingdom of The Almighty, Abba Father we thank you. We honor your time, effort, gifts and service. We appreciate what you bring to the marketplace each day. Your gift to the world is needed, therefore, we encourage you to keep sharing, keep educating, keep giving, and keep pursuing. Until next time continue to pursue your passion and purpose with exuberant faith. Blessings, Angel B. 8 www.simplyelevate.com
