publisher’s letter
“Strong women…may we know them, may we raise them, may we be them.” (unknown)
O
ur focus has always been to provide the interesting interviews, to share the many great upcoming events and to highlight the great businesses through our advertising to you, our readership. This issue we are very proud to share with you our “Women of Substance.” Our initial “Women of Substance” was created for you in May/June 2013, because we were so inspired by Our First Lady of Georgia, Mrs. Sandra Deal. She graced our cover then and joins us again. Her servant’s heart to Georgia has gone above and beyond….if there is an issue concerning a child, Mrs. Deal addresses it. Her support and love have left an impression on the many she has served. Along with Mrs. Deal we bring you a number of other women who have made an ever-lasting impact in their professional and personal lives. Great women who haven’t always had it easy and who have had to work hard to reach their goals all the while providing the love and support their families needed. Summer is finally here, and it is time for family and friends to get outside and make the most of their time together. We hope when you are relaxing by one of Georgia’s many great lakes or beaches, sipping on a glass of sweet tea and enjoying the breeze, you will bring along your copy of SJM. Of course you can always find us online at www.southernjournalmagazine.com. We value your input of Southern Journal Magazine and hope you enjoy the magazine as it reinforces our ongoing commitment to provide content that benefits you and your family. We pride ourselves in sharing the “good stuff” and welcome your feedback and suggestions for topics you would like to see covered in the future.
