From the Desk of
This issue marks my anniversary with the Magazine as Editor in Chief. I have seen many changes over the last year - in myself as well as my staff. I have watched as some of the people working on this magazine fought illness or dealt with family tragedy. I have seen others take up the slack, offer support, and labour to ensure the magazine continued to go out. With the approach of spring I hope that rebirth and renewal is evident in all our lives, bringing resolution and peace to those who need it. The wheel turns daily and we can but hope to keep on our feet rather than tumble along aimlessly. To those of our staff and readership dwelling in the south, entering into autumn, I hope you are harvesting a bountiful crop from the last year. For myself I am dealing with radical changes in my home - my nephew is coming to stay with us while his mother has surgery and goes through recovery. I know this will disrupt the flow of things, but I am choosing to see it as a positive force. Our lives have been fairly sedentary lately and he will bring new ideas and attitudes with him. Teenaged attitudes. I need to remind myself this is positive - and in that lies my lesson I fear. I am growing older and getting more set in my ways. The thought of some teen disrupting the running of my household fills me with trepidation - and not only because I have the 10 other children in a routine. I am becoming my father. Uncomfortable with the unknown or with change. I dislike loss of control. I fear this lesson will be a hard one for me. Especially as I need to remember that in as much as I will be disturbed, he is so much more. The wheel turns indeed and already I am stumbling. Light and Love,
