WINTERTIME IN THE FINGER LAKES! Dear Contributors and Readers, Welcome to the Winter Issue of Finger Lakes Woman magazine! The new year is full of new beginnings, signaling our time to start with a Michael George Gonzalez fresh slate, set resolutions and reach for goals. Art Direction & Design This year, we here at the Finger Lakes Woman are working on a stargroove.com new approach, a fresh strategy. Instead of resolutions, we are making commitments. We are looking at the long-term and asking ourselves: “What are the values we represent in the world and this community?” and “What are the commitments we intend to pursue over the next five years?” Life isn’t just about today, tomorrow, or even next month. Its about the long haul. Its what we bring to the table, every day and over time. Its about tried and true values like loyalty, supporting local, and sharing stories that empower and inspire our readers to know, do, and be better. Its about living out our greatest commitments to ourselves, our families, Linda Hunsicker - Publisher Melissa L. Killeleagh and our communities. Community Liaison/Content I’d love to invite you to join us. Let us know what your commitments are in 2019! Share on social media, tag us, and enter into several drawings that will take place over the next few months. And once again, welcome to the new year!
