Welcome back to Influential People Magazine! As we approach Thanksgiving, I look at this year, like most of you, as one where we would like to have our usual gatherings of family and friends for the holidays. However, for everyone’s well being, these gatherings are not recommended this year. Instead, we can use the time we have to reflect on the things we are thankful for, despite the many distractions that have pulled us away from the normal activities that we want to enjoy.
Many things that have happened this year makes me thankful in so many ways, for our unprecedented magazine growth. I am so thankful for all of you who have made this growth possible! My soulmate and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary!
This month has made me even more aware of how important family is and the need to treasure every moment we have with those that surround us. It is also a reminder of the importance of family and friends, and a chance to say thank you to those who matter most to us. When I have been down at my lowest during this time of quarantine, looking to the future with family and friends has lifted my spirits. It is in those moments that I give thanks to God for the love of these special people in my life. Until we can celebrate together, I encourage our readers to be thankful for what you have, not on what you don’t have and make the most of every day. Each day I look at what I have, wonderful readers, subscribers, publishing team, contributing writers, advertisers, cover and inside feature sponsors and clients, they all are part of our family too, which I am very thankful for.
I am very thankful for this month’s issue as we feature our interview with Robert Gatewood who is the screenwriter/producer, and several cast members of the upcoming movie, “Bucks of America,” a true story of Black Soldiers and others who either fought in or supported the Revolutionary War from the Boston Massacre to the Battle of Bunker Hill.
November is homeless awareness month; however, we will be featuring Rodica Isabella Shaldin in December, as she and her fiancé Ron Whitaker own “Hope for the Homeless Humanitarian Project” and will be sharing their story about how they help the homeless with food and etc..
I pray that you will have plenty of time to check out the interviews and articles from our awesome writers. I trust you will find each page informative and inspiring. I pray you will enjoy, learn, laugh, and share with others what you have found here, within these pages. We look forward to serving our audience both in the United States and around the world, in the coming year. ~Heide Dangelo POI
