As you wander through the virtual pages of All Things Girl and our March/April issue, I […]

The Dog Ate My Homework or why the March/April Issue of ATG is late

the-dog-ate-my-homework-or-why-the-marchapril-issue-of-atg-is-late

Everywhere I turn these days, I see studies on how women are over-worked, over-committed, and overwhelmed.   We are expected to bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and leap tall buildings in a single bound. Women are incredible at multi-tasking and sheer amazing at the way they balance the worlds of work, […]

From the Editor: Welcome to Through the Looking Glass (January/February 2010)

I can’t believe that it’s 2010.  It seems like only yesterday we were talking about Y2K.  New years bring thoughts of resolutions and goals, new beginnings, and the joy of bringing the wonderful things from our past forward.   When Alice picked up a copy of Jabberwocky,  she embarked upon a journey that into a […]

From the Editor: Welcome to Harmony (November/December 2009)

When planning themes for All Things Girl, we try to balance out something inspirational while matching the time of year.  The end of any year brings  Holy Seasons for many religions of the world as well as the spiritual and secular impending New Year.   “Harmony”, we hope, covers both of those areas for each of […]

From the Editor: Welcome to Lost & Found (September/October 2009)

from-the-editor-welcome-to-lost-found-septemberoctober-2009

School is beginning and I’ve been thinking about the Lost and Found at the various elementary schools across the world.  How long will it will be before they are overflowing with forgotten lunchboxes, jackets discarded on the monkey bars, and trodden upon book bags.  Life is like the lost and found of an elementary school, […]

Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is growing stronger, even though the calendar is telling us that we are *almost* at the end of the season.  Families are doing last minute vacations as thoughts of school loom in the near future.  And many folks are having pool parties and other gatherings to enjoy the season as […]

It’s summertime in the Northern Hemisphere, which makes me think of one thing:  Summer Road Trip.  Road trips are filled with adventure and perils as well as comfort and destinations.  This is exactly what we were thinking when we planned the July / August  issue of All Things Girl is about; the happenings along the […]

I believe it was Shakespeare who said “All The World’s a Stage”.    When it comes to life, there are moments in which we stay in the background, and then there are the moments that we choose to stand out.  This is exactly what the May / June issue of All Things Girl is about; […]

As we move from the March winds and into April showers, we cannot help but think of nature as the earth is reborn.  There are cultivated flower boxes and well kept lawns emerging around us, but in other places, we find the wilds, where Mother Nature flourishes.  With those thoughts, we are thrilled to bring […]

From the Editor: Welcome to Wilderness (March/April 2009)

from-the-editor-welcome-to-wilderness-marchapril-2009

Entering the wilderness, either by choice or chance, has oft been used as a vehicle where a character enters, experiences a transformation, and emerges a changed, and usually, better person.   As a curious group, those of us at All Things Girls pondered the opportunity to delve into the midst of the moments while in the […]

Can you believe that the first month of 2009 is complete and we are moving into February?  Time marches on and during that time we can go along with the crowd or march along to the beat of our drummer.  Ahhhh…the beauty of this thing that we call life.  Life is about the Journey. And […]

From the Editor: Welcome to Journeys (Jan/Feb 2009)

Often in life, we are in the “hurry up and get there” mode. Life is a series of obstacles all geared towards the end result. There is a different school of thought, however, and that is the journey on our way to the destination is just as important as the actual end-point. […]
