The Inaugural Issue

I can't believe our inaugural issue will be going to press in just THREE days!! It has been an incredible journey up to this point- I have learned so much and met so many wonderful people- and this is just the beginning.

I've reviewed the magazine's layout over a hundred times now and the amazing thing is that i'm able to find something new each time- another detail in an image, a different perspective on a story, something else that makes me smile from ear to ear.

From a haiku written by a 5-year old to artwork done by an accomplished chef, the inaugural issue shows that creativity exists in all of us. It promises to make you laugh, cry, wonder, appreciate your surroundings and the people that are in your lives. It will inspire you to dream.

The talented artists, writers and photographers that have contributed their work to our inaugural issue are listed below. I am so grateful that they have shared their gift with us and cannot wait to share it with all of you.
