November-December 2011 - The Journey

From the Publisher
It’s hard to believe that we are celebrating the
10th anniversary of the first issue of The Journey
Magazine. In the 10 years we have been publishing,
so many people have contributed to our mission,
which is to give people information that we
hope will bring positive change into their lives.
Rather than try to mention them all (which
would take up more space than I am allocated
for this column) let me just give a collective thank
you to all. “All” meaning not just the writers, layout,
graphic design, distribution, editors and advertisers,
but of course, the dedicated readers who
inspire us to publish The Journey to help them in
“their journey” in life.
The Journey was never a planned endeavor.
It was more like it created itself. In 2001, Cleveland
was in need of a magazine to help inform the
community, through articles and advertisements, of
opportunities for physical healing, mental wellness
and spiritual growth.
Through a belief in our desire to help enrich
people’s lives, a dear friend Michelle Mills and I
sold enough ads to publish a 16-page first edition
of The Journey.
I still have copies of that issue and occasionally
look at it; I’m still amazed there was a second
edition. Even more amazing to me at the time was
that two people contacted us wanting subscriptions.
Michelle and I were partners for the first
year and actually added a radio show called The
Journey Hour until we decided to split the business
– she taking on the radio show and me publishing
The Journey.
Remembering back, I am sure neither of us
ever gave much thought about what it meant to be
in publishing. Nor did we have a clue how to do it. I
guess you could say we had on-the-job training.
The universe seems to supply all that we need
when we bring forth the desire to be of service.
That initial 16-page magazine, published
and distributed only in the Cleveland area, now
reaches into Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus and
Buffalo and many cities in between. Again, that
was never planned.
Much has happened in my own personal journey
in these 10 years. The Journey has given me
a great source to build memories and I am looking
forward to the next 10 years.
May we all look back in remembrance of our
collective journeys and find the spiritual growth we
are here for. Namaste’
