Love is in the air!  As we launch our February issue, I want to start by saying that we genuinely love our advertising partners, and we love our readers!  Thanks to YOU, we get to spend our days doing what we love!

This month, I want to wish a very special Happy Birthday to two special people in my life.  First – my mom!  We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday in grand style – just as she lives her life every day!  My mom is an amazing woman and I’m so blessed by her!

I also want to celebrate my daughter, Brooke!  Brooke is (GULP!) turning 30 at the end of this month!  HOW is that possible?  I cannot believe I’ve blinked, and three decades have flown by.  I don’t know what I’d do without her!  She’s taking our family business to levels I never dreamed of, including a new Forsyth Magazines Podcast!  Be sure to tune in!  I’m so proud of her!

If you haven’t met him yet, the dog pictured with Brooke and me is my granddog, Carter.  Tim and I came dangerously close to adopting a dog, but in the end, a granddog was the best solution.  We are happy spoiling him on a part-time basis, and it works great for both Brooke’s busy lifestyle as well as ours.  Isn’t he adorable?

This month has been extra busy as we’re also releasing our annual publication, Forsyth Community!  Please check it out!  It’s a celebration of life in Clemmons and Lewisville and developed in conjunction with the Village of Clemmons and the Lewisville-Clemmons Chamber of Commerce!  It serves as a residential guide, relocation guide, and visitor’s guide!  Be sure you pick up a copy!

Thanks again for reading!  We appreciate all of you and until next month…. Happy Reading!
