It’s no secret how much we at The NEWTON Community Magazine believe in the power of storytelling. Stories invite us to share in one another’s experiences, reminding us that we all have far more commonalities than we do differences.
The stories in this issue are about people who have changed the world around them through their incredible love, strength and determination. In telling their stories, they invite each of us to not only bear witness to their experiences and feel what they felt but to see parts of ourselves in their experiences.
We believe everyone has a story and that everyone’s story matters. In this issue, we are debuting a new section called Meet Your Neighbor, where we introduce you to someone from our community that you may not have had the chance to meet yet. First up: Robert A. Smith, a kind-hearted, fun-loving dude who we have had the chance to get to know over the past year. If you happen to see him the next time you dine at Stalvey’s or the next time you are out and about around town, say hello. It will make his day—and yours.
We are forever grateful to our advertisers, advocates and readers. Together, we are building a more connected and compassionate community.
May the Lord bless and keep you.
