**My Love for Words**
I have always been captivated by the impact of language. With a degree in journalism, I’ve spent decades crafting advertising and PR content, writing pieces to help place vulnerable children in caring homes, contributing to various publications, and today, I have the privilege of publishing a magazine.
**The Desire to Improve**
Despite my experience, there are moments when I think, “I wish I could write like that.”
**The Journey of Exceptional Writing**
What is it that enables certain writers to lead us from one point to a place of realization, prompting us to reflect, laugh, cry, reconsider our viewpoints, and transform our lives?
**Shared Discoveries with My Daughter**
My daughter Lindsey, who shares my fascination with words, and I found ourselves binge-watching the NBC series, “This is Us,” finishing season one in one sitting and eagerly anticipating season two. The writing in this show is truly exceptional! There are countless others as well. This summer, I plan to indulge in all seasons of “Downton Abbey” and relive the hilarious moments of “Seinfeld.” I also want to dive into novels like “The Poisonwood Bible,” “The Fault in Our Stars,” “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” and “Me Before You.” And let’s not forget impactful films such as “Cinderella Man,” “Saving Private Ryan,” “Forrest Gump,” “The Book Thief,” and “Hidden Figures.” I admire screenplays like “Dear Evan Hansen,” “Wicked,” “Les Misérables,” and “Phantom of the Opera.” Oh, and of course, we should include the magic of Disney films and the whimsy of Dr. Seuss. My list could go on indefinitely, just as I’m sure yours could too.
**Common Threads in Great Writing**
What unites these extraordinary works of art? I believe the connection is found in writers who master the balance of honesty and trust. They do not dictate what their audience ought to think, believe, or understand. Instead, they rely on the strength of their words to resonate on a profound level. These writers empower their readers to think independently.
**Our Mission at Good Life Family**
“Good Life Family” aims to embody this ethos. Some contributors are dedicated writers, while others bring specialized knowledge from their professions. Regardless, we all work diligently to provide you with content that inspires, enlightens, stirs emotions, and incites change.

**Engaging with Our Community**
We invite you to share your thoughts, insights, and even your achievements and pictures with us. If it holds significance for you, it likely matters to someone else as well.
**A Commitment to Learning**
Every day brings new knowledge, and I look forward to discovering what tomorrow will teach me.
