Publisher’s Note

2nd Quarter 2026

Dear Readers

The new year certainly made its entrance with more than a little drama. Between relentless winter weather, the unexpected task of securing a new printer for our publications, and—of course finalizing taxes, it has been a season of challenges and adjustments.

I even stepped away for a short break, thinking a little time to recharge would do me good. While I was gone, however, a powerful blizzard swept through Sussex County, where I live, leaving my home without electricity for three days. When I returned, I was met with the unfortunate reality that everything in my refrigerators and freezers had to be thrown away. It was certainly not the homecoming I had envisioned.

That said, I count myself very lucky. My pipes did not freeze, and there was no lasting damage to my home. In situations like these, perspective matters. It could always have been worse, and I am grateful it wasn’t.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I am more than ready to say goodbye to true winter weather. I am cautiously hopeful we’ve seen the last of it for the season, though I won’t hold my breath just yet.

As always, thank you for your continued support and for weathering these seasons, both literal and figurative, alongside us.

Once again, we want to welcome the new clients who have joined us this issue and invite you to check out each of our faithful contributors. If you can’t find a copy of The Women’s Journal, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly at [email protected].

Thanks, Pamela
