Letter from the Editor

Dear Readers,

Winter reminds me to take care of myself and others. Reminds me that maybe, the next time I get up the sun will be up a little longer. And then we’ll remember how much the world continues to move, even if it’s different now. Winter can be a fresh, crisp start to something new. The coldest it got in San Jose this year was a light frost. There was hail in some parts of San Jose as well. Other than that, we measure winter by the chill in the air and the realization that there are things to look forward to.

I was excited to write and create with this group for this issue, and I think that it turned out really well. With every new version of the magazine, there are new ways to showcase our work. Everyone is welcome to participate, and all forms of writing are included.

We chose the theme of this magazine as a group because it inspired the most ideas and writing breadth. This issue is all about the adventures that happen in winter. It talks about wonder and growth and relationships in the world. I hope this magazine continues to bring the best of its contributors. I hope that there are always new things to learn and write about.

Rebecca Lee Editor In Chief
