Below is my very own “amazingmom” announcement: a planto introduce a new title,Single&Smart Magazine (andwww.singleandsmart.com) intoWestchester and Fairfield Counties.It is aimed, quite simply, at providinga regular flow of information ofinterest to single adults. I havebeen single for over three yearsnow, and in adapting to a newlifestyle, I find myself devouringinformation I would come across that seemed relevant…ontopics as diverse as negotiating in a divorceor managing my finances to battling loneliness, eatingfor one, getting along with your ex, keeping old friends,making new friends, or re-discovering and navigating,for better or for worse, the ups and downs of datingagain after 20 years of marriage.That kind of information seemed to come at me randomlyfrom a variety of sources. I thought it might beuseful to address a single adult population in a magazineand website tailored for singles and also provide aregional tie. Perhaps create a greater sense of communityamong singles. I’m excited about it, and welcomeyour thoughts and ideas at editor@singleandsmart.com.COMINGSOON!J U S T B E T W E E N U SAmazing MomS i n g l e A n d S m a r t . c o mTo keep up with that news and with snippets of <strong>Inside</strong><strong>Chappaqua</strong> news in general, I suggest becoming a fanof <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Chappaqua</strong> on Facebook by going tohttp://www.facebook.com/<strong>Inside</strong><strong>Chappaqua</strong>Magazine.You can also now access that link atwww.insidechappaqua.com. I also occasionally “Tweet” onTwitter.com but I’m being told not nearly enough. KrisRuby, whose tips on launching your career using SocialMedia, has been helping me along on that front andshe’s come on board to help you too, beginning with hercolumn on page 12. Another resident Social Media powerhouse,Nancy Shenker, recently introduced me to anew networking group in town called BIG that can alsohelp moms at any stage of launching a new business orcareer. Lisa Ballou reports on page 8.There are at least a few Amazing Mom stories that carrythis <strong>issue</strong>. One is the tale of the Headway Foundation andthe work of Ed and <strong>May</strong>a Manley of <strong>Chappaqua</strong> in caringfor children with cancer. It was brought to my attention byTodd Shapera, a talented Pocantico Hills photographer whovolunteers for the foundation too. Pam Brown reports andTodd’s pictures tell the story amply. On page 28, RandyStuart reflects on the unconditional love of mothers. Andthere’s the cover story. I don’t even know what to sayabout Janet Angier that Maggie Patrick-Sternin doesn’t inher profile of this very accomplishedmusic educator. I hope her true grit storyinspires you.
