Change is good - every situation offers a chance for growth and transformation. The gift of life is that it always changes, challenging us to grow spiritually to meet situations with confidence and strength. By placing your bets on the unknown, you create a solid foundation for resiliency to flourish.

After seven years at the helm of New Connexion, we say a fond farewell to Miriam Knight, who is launching a new online venture, New Consciousness Review. Many thanks to Miriam for making New Connexion a beacon in the Pacific Northwest.

I am excited to take over as editor and publisher of New Connexion. This past year as editor has helped me to put my spiritual guidance into action, and lead a spirit-driven life by bringing forth new ideas for everyday divine living. I've met wonderful writers with important messages to share, advertisers committed to serving the community, and kindred souls seeking deeper meaning to life.

I'm pleased to welcome new faces. Sara Swink, an amazing graphic and ceramic artist, joins New Connexion as our graphic designer. Her fresh ideas and spiritually connected designs perfectly convey the publication's messages. On the sales team, we welcome sales representative Victoria Biedron, and Cathy McGuire who will wear dual hats as office manager and sales rep. Their valued contributions will round out the excellent service currently provided by sales manager Sinclair Lingg, sales representatives Sandi Buchanan and Violet Young, and webmaster Dale Briskey.

We welcome you to grow with us as we begin this new chapter of change - guided by spirit and grounded in love.
