A new year
RT
has begun and that means another year of exciting
new beginnings, adventures, creations, masterpieces
and memories worth creating. To begin the New Year,
our cover page contest theme “Global Family Day,”
which is celebrated historically on January 1, seems
like a perfect fit for our artists and the magazine itself.
Global Family Day evolved from the United Nation’s
“One Day in Peace” celebration. While we are unable to
bring peace around the globe, we can each take part in
supporting those around us and encouraging peace. After
all, global movements begin within each of us and then
spread like wildfire.
The winner of our cover page contest is a Malaysian artist,
Jennifer Mourin, whose artwork is a wonderful depiction
of community, support, peace and happiness. The
breastfeeding women we feature on our cover may be
controversial to some but as a magazine created to support
and empower women, Jennifer’s artwork is a perfect fit.
We wish every one of our readers and artists alike a year
of prosperity, happiness, love, community, peace and
empowerment.
Happy New Year!
