From The Editor
I
t’s 2015 and it seems like yesterday we were trying to remember to write 2014 for the date. I am so excited about this year for some odd reason I just feel like 2015 is going to be a fantastic year.
I tell my children all the time you get what you give. So in that spirit, I am giving 110% in 2015. This issue is always a pleasure to work on. There seem to be a lot of positive things to talk about in Lexington these days, and there is never a shortage of amazing women stories to share. This issue we are featuring some super moms and wives. We continue our series on the “Woman Behind the Man” with our feature of Mrs. Jamie McDougall and the ever elegant Beth Atwater. These beautiful families as well as many others, are part of what makes Lexington such a great place to live. Real people who really care about this community. I hope you enjoy them both. Our cancer survivor this issue is Ms. Margaret Cummings, and what an inspiration she is! She loves her teddy bears. I got a phone call recently about a friend who had an abnormal mammogram. For days she prayed and worried as did I. It was with great relief that the ultra sound showed no cancer, but I was once again reminded how important it is to tell the story about survival. We must continue to talk to women about early detection and not to give up this war we have waged on the “c” word. I hope you will all have your yearly mammograms and talk to your daughters, sisters, mothers, aunts, in-laws- every female you know about having theirs. We always want to encourage you to support our advertisers. They make Lexington Woman available to you all over town. Tell them where you saw them and don’t forget they have made a firm commitment to being the best of the best. They have promised to provide you with quality services and products. We want to know what you think! Email us with your story ideas and feed back. Have a Blessed Day! II Corinthians 9:7-8
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
