DEADline

It's that time again, what we in the publishing industry so fondly refer to as, DEADline. The hurry/scurry, hairy/scary, time when even the smallest of details are being reviewed, edited down, or completely revamped depending on this editors mood! I could drive my fabulously patient designer, Janae, to acquire a taste for strong alcohol during the final 48 hours prior to print. But thank goodness there's med's to keep us calm -opps, wrong, we're a drug free company - ;)

What's new at elan woman? Ummm, actually two things that I'm very connected to (besides my bum to the chair at this moment). Writer Debbie Waggoner and I stumbled (no, slid, it was icy - like idiots, we wore heels) across some amazing people at Sundance this year. Tugging at our heart strings were global stories that have a trickle down effect locally. In the March/April issue, Deb will release the first in a series of deeply moving causes that made us alter what we know and how we think. Exceptionally well written, you will literally feel the pain and experience the journey with Deb, as she shares a horrific scene that is within our own vision.

Secondly...the most serendipitous moment possibly of my life (well, one of a few) - connecting with the right women to assist me in launching a new column for the social conscious. A lifestyle that isn't new to many, but taken for granted by most. Stepping into the generation who cares about our world, you will meet two amazing women who will share with you fresh ideas to evolve the way your live your life.

Well, must get back to ice cream, oh, no I mean, writing...I just wish I was eating ice cream. Tomorrow night I will reward myself with a banana malt and some sleep. SWAK!
