The Blog

According to Webster’s,   one of the definitions of “sacrifice” is:  “to suffer loss of, give up, renounce, injure, or destroy especially for an ideal, belief, or end.”   Sacrifices come in both big and small ways.    We see the big sacrifices on the news and in our history books, but all around us, people are making the small sacrifices and aren’t even recognized.  Personal sacrifices….if we get down to it….are the things we ask ourselves:  Could I do that?  I welcome you to the third issue of 2008: Sacrifice

As you flip through the virtual pages of All Things Girl and our May/June issue, I hope you are able to pause and savor the incredible pieces that make-up this wonderful ezine. First, our classics and representative of our theme: Writings & Arts. In Writings…. you will find pieces that make you hold your breath or maybe hold back a tear…..  I know you’re recognize some names here in Writings….and will be thrilled at the discovery of some new talent as well. And what can I say about Arts? Art is lovely and thought provoking and heartbreaking.

Everything Girl is downright amazing this month.  We are going literary in May and are so pleased to have Author Phenon Stephenie Meyer as our cover girl - as well as author (and screenwriter) Tom Rob Smith as our Man of the Month.  You will also find interviews with authors Felicia Sullivan and Lauren Henderson, and Fashion Designer Amy Tangerine.    Our resident columnists have more than outdone themselves….and I have to tell you that how blessed I feel to know these amazing women. We are also fortunate to hear some wise words from a couple of guest columnists. Be sure an grab a nice cup of tea when you sit down to read Everything Girl!  And let’s not forget Reviews. You’ll find music reviews , movie reviews and book reviews.

As always, keep an eye on The Blog. You never know what you might find as the editors and columnists share what’s on their minds…..

We’re still taking submissions for “Sacrifice” by the way, but you need to be quick. We’ll have a mid-issue update June 1st and will be adding a few items here and there…   If you are inspired to share your talents, submissions are open for future editions of All Things Girl – and we can’t wait to see what you’ve got!

I know that each of you make sacrifices each day, and I want you to know how amazed I am as I hear the stories that women tell me.  I also see that Memorial Day is coming, and it reminds me of those sacrifices so many men and women have made in times of war.  Sacrifices are signs of love…. I hope you are able to find your in blessings…..
