Happy New Year!

I have been very excited about writing this column, anticipating the opportunity to share some wonderful news with you.  My husband Wes has served as the editor of Postcards since inception, and he has done a remarkable job balancing the role in a part-time capacity, while also holding down a full-time job that required a lot of time on the road.

Since he is an introvert (yes, opposites attract), it suits him fine for me to be the “face” of our work together. While I work primarily with our sales team and advertisers, he is the one that keeps up with all the editorial content each month, including writers and photographers, and we couldn’t do it without him.

I am thrilled to announce that 2023 marks the beginning of his full-time work with our magazine and readers.  There are quite a few things we are preparing for in 2023, and we look forward to sharing more with you soon!  One thing I was not prepared for…was the fact I would be writing this message only days after my husband suffered a major heart attack.  I think Wes having only ONE job will be plenty, since he asked me to bring his laptop to the ICU so he could work on this month’s magazine!

We praise God that he is doing okay.  He is home and recuperating. Life events like this one certainly have a way of refocusing us.  It requires that we stop for a moment to take stock of where we are, where we’re going, and what we do along the way.  We are making some adjustments – let’s just call them New Year’s resolutions.

Introvert or extrovert, we love sharing community with you.  We are incredibly thankful to be able to work together.  From anywhere.  Even ICU.  But Wes, how about Key West instead?

From our very grateful family to yours, Happy New Year!
