Letter from the Editor
As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a time of reflection for me.
Gratitude plays a part in my daily life, but around the holidays I find significant reasons to be truly grateful. This last year has certainly been challenging and I thank all of you for supporting the Town Crier, and me, as your new publisher and editor. And as the saying goes, “I couldn’t have done it without you!” I am blessed to have an incredible team behind me as we are learning everyday how to put out a paper to be proud of.
This year I am reaching out to Idyllwild to be extra caring this season. We are seeing some unrest in our community that worries and disappoints me. I have lived here 38 years and have seen a lot over the years. Conflicts come and go, but now I am seeing a division of ideals that blows dark whispers our way. Please stand up for your beliefs and protect others from racism, hatred and gender discrimination. For it is now that our moral values are of the upmost importance. Please reach out to those in need and carry gratitude in your heart throughout this holiday season.
Peace!
