IMARA, A Walk of Faith!
Since the first edition
of IMARA Woman Magazine, we have worked hard to make sure that we
chronicled your stories in a way you could be proud of. We have never
really thought ourselves to be “too good” or “too important” to roll up
our sleeves and do the actual work that is required to ensure
IMARA Woman Magazine is on time, on target and on the cutting edge of
the things that matter most to you.
By all accounts, we
shouldn’t even still be here; everyday a printed newspaper or magazine
dies or is replaced by an online source. Nonetheless, here we are, ten
years into the game and still very much alive. We have learned so many
things during the past ten years, but none more important than the power
of our faith.
You just can’t imagine
the number of times it has looked so bleak that we’ve considered just
calling it quits, but then came a letter, a call, a conversation or a
financial blessing, just at the right moment. We’ve prayed our way
through on many occasions. And we’re thankful that we kept the faith. We
have often thought about how much easier it could have been if we had
not remained true to IMARA Woman Magazine’s mission—to empower
by being a positive source of information and inspiration on matters of
health, personal development, business, education and family. After
all, in times like these, people stray from their beliefs just to
survive, right? May be so, but in the end, we chose to continue to do
our best work, and to trust and have faith that God would provide.
Relying on that same
faith has allowed us to survive some of life’s personal challenges that
weigh heavy on the heart—sickness, death, children that sometime cause
sleepless nights. Through it all, faith has been the force that
sustained us. It is a most powerful source and one that we advise you
tap into daily as a source of strength.
IMARA Woman Magazine has
been blessed to survive the past ten years in perhaps the most difficult
economy we have seen in our lifetime. We thank you for being loyal
readers and supporters. And while we can’t tell you what will happen in
the future for you or IMARA Woman Magazine, we can both give our own
personal testimony that faith will see you through!
Be Blessed
