[To You, From Me] Minding Your Business Into 2025

 What a year this has been! 

As I reflect on 2024, I am humbled and excited about all that Conversations Media Group and I have been able to accomplish. 

I was able to travel across the country, interviewing amazing individuals who are living their dreams daily. I was recognized on a few occasions for the work I do in media and the literary worlds, including receiving the Trailblazer Award by RRAW and the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Awards from Chosen Pen Publishing. 

Though I am happy about where we are, I know that 2025 will require even more of me as well as you, the reader. WE can't rely on what we have done to sustain us in the new year. We have to roll up our sleeves and get to work with the goal of 2025 being the best year yet. 

This issue of Conversations Magazine shares highlights of our year as well as conversations that have made 2024 a year to remember. It is my hope that you will also take time to reflect on the year that was, and start making plans for the year ahead. 

Here's to a year of new beginnings, new milestones and a new mindset as we face whatever comes our way. It all begins right now. It all begins with YOU.

Happy Reading!
