I#can’t#believe#how#much#Sme#has#passed#since#the#last#

ediSon#of#Black#Twin#CiSes#Magazine#was#published!#

#

But#as#the#Stles#says,#“life#gets#the#best#of#us#

someSmes”.###

#

I#was#going#a#mile#a#minute#last#over#the#last#two#years,#

and#one#MRI#later,#I#figured#that#I#should#slow#down#a#

bit#and#focus#on#what’s#important.#

#

As#I#began#pu]ng#together#the#ballot#for#this#year’s#

“best#of”#awards,#I#thought#“I#can’t#do#this#without#

honoring#these#businesses#in#print”,#so#I#decided#to#

resurrect#the#magazine,#all#in#the#name#of#what#Black#

Twin#CiSes#is#all#about,#featuring#those#businesses#and#

people#we#should#know#and#love.#

#

I#urge#you#all#to#take#stock#of#your#lives,#decide#what#

you#really#want#and#make#make#the#moves#necessary#to#

accomplish#those.##My#ulSmate#dream#is#to#consult#

small#businesses,#and#starSng#this#month#I#will#begin#

laying#the#foundaSon#to#do#just#that.#

#

This#is#what#I#wish#for#you#all,#know#your#dreams#and#

follow#them#without#reservaSon,#its#never#too#late.#

#

#

I’m$thankful$that$our$community$has$received$the$Black$Twin$CiCes$website$and$Facebook$fan$page$so$well,$I$hope$this$magazine$conCnues$to$entertain$and$inform$you.$$I$look$forward$to$publishing$many$more.$
