Letter from the editor
Knowing When to Graduate
My how time flies when you are having fun!
It is hard to believe, but it has been three years since our magazine was introduced to a very receptive online audience. As I prepared worked on this issue, I could not help but to reflect on the journey of the past three years. In looking back at our first issue, it is amazing to see how much we have grown. We have progressed from a publication that was a mere shell of what it is today to one that is rich in content with, what I hope is, a plethora of good information.
It has been especially humbling to recognize that in the past three years of having to pull together all of what is required in order to consistently present fresh, new ideas of the magazine each month, we have been blessed to not miss an issue. After having done this now for thirty-six consecutive months, I can share that this is no small feat.
Publishing a magazine that contains one hundred percent original content requires a lot of research and with all of the information that is available in such a vast virtual world, it is somewhat of a challenge to consistently keep readers engaged.
I pinch myself each time I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have such a great team of writers and editors. What is truly special is they are each committed to their areas of work and are gracious enough to allow me to share it with you.
To date we have over forty-thousand readers who read and are interested in what our writers have to say. It is interesting too that many of these readers share in this virtual experience in places that are very far away from our domestic shores.
What this experience has taught me is that no matter where people live, work or play, they all desire one thing; and that is to experience the blessing of what I describe as good living.
We are embarking on some pretty exciting things in the future as we work to reveal more of the vision of the Good Living brand. I recognize the fact that in order realize this our goals, it is important to not become complacent in our efforts toward excellence and to focus our minds on seeking and reaching even higher goals.
I would like to thank my wonderful team of editors for their dedication and hard work and please know how much I value everything that you do. And to you my readers, there are no words that can adequately express my sincere thanks to you for trusting me enough to consistently stop in each month for a visit.
And to my patient and amazingly-talented web designer, Ariela, you are the best!
The continuation of this work affords us a promise that if we continue to bring to you our very best, nothing but blue skies lie ahead.
Deigratia,
Bonnie
