I didn’t know when –or even if - I’d ever see a chance like this again.Īnd, so, Perspectives was born. And I could do it with my closest friend. One of those suggestions became Perspectives: the opportunity to run a publication of my own. I’m not sure precisely what I mean when I say “know me.” But then again, don’t I? Don’t I?Īnyhow, once my dear friend realized how lonely I’d became, she drummed up a few ways to help. Others who knew what it was like to be me. Others who drift through life with the same sort of… vibe, for lack of a better word. So, sure, I’d like to make friends with others like me. If the paper didn’t need me so bad, I’m sure my 80-year-old boss would’ve run for the hills the moment he saw my crew cut.
You don’t make a lot of friends being the only woman wearing pants in the newsroom. She could tell there was a part of me that yearned for connection, not just with others, but with others like me. That’s where she got the idea for Perspectives in the first place. She’s fanciful like that, but level-headed, too, and remarkably perceptive.
Nothing - no tragedy, no mistake or misstep, ever seems to get her down. There’s this undeniable vibrancy and innovation flowing through her veins. The idea came from an important woman in my life - arguably, the most important person in my life. Launching Perspectives wasn’t my idea, to be honest with you. Quite frankly, that’s a lot to ask of a book report, but, nonetheless, I’ll try. After all, where would the circus be without its ringleader? It’s my duty to draw the curtains closed with a fitting conclusion, to fill you with a sense of hope and contentment that, perhaps, you haven’t felt in some time. As the last few pages draw near, I feel the need to add something more, to give this magazine that personal perspective you may be looking for. Feel free to tell your friends of friends about us. I hope you’ve enjoyed the first issue of Perspectives, the newsrag for all the cool cats in the know. Greetings and salutations from your friendly founder, Maggie Williams-Shepherd, dear readers!
