Dear Reader – March 2010
Does the phrase “tough economy” ring any bells? My guess is you have been engaged in more than one conversation about the economy in the last year possibly even daily, and if you’ve turned on the evening news, been on the Internet, read an e-mail or newspaper it is almost impossible to avoid the stories. […]
Dear Reader – April 2010
After months of preparation we are set to kick off another season of trade shows. An Activity that in the past two years has certainly seen a change, but moreover in the past decade has changed dramatically. When I first joined the editorial staff of DERMASCOPE, some 13 years ago, going to trade shows was […]
Dear Reader – May 2010
Inspiration – we find it in the obvious places, but more often than not in the most obscure places. My purpose in writing this column each month is to inspire you to do many things. The first of which would be to read and enjoy the magazine and the second is to provoke you to […]
Dear Reader – June 2010
I remember when e-mail was new. It was this random form of communication that you checked a few times a day, because those were the days of dial-up and three or four people in the office had different user names on the same account. I now have half a dozen e-mail addresses, three of which […]
Dear Reader – July 2010
Have you ever had a moment when you thought, “Where did the time go?” The other day I was taking a survey and had to check the box marked “41 to 50 years old” and thought, “Wow, I don’t feel older, or act older.” Which brings me to the question; what makes us look and […]
Dear Reader – August 2010
We have all heard the phrase, “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” In fact, it is so common that there are a plethora of websites, blogs, and various forum threads devoted to mocking this ideology. I get that, sometimes we just want to have a big, pity party! Right? Of course, once you are […]
Dear Reader – September 2010
After a long and scorching hot summer, the first day of September brings hope that fall will soon be here. This month also marks the start of school and a revitalized commitment to routine – definitely a welcome change to the lackadaisical days of summer. That is not to say that I do not like […]
Dear Reader – October 2010
In anticipation of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, we covered breast health information and spotlighted many of the companies that are donating their time, talent, and treasure this month to various breast cancer charities in the September issue. However, I believe this is such an important topic that I had to address it here in […]
Dear Reader December 2010
Wow, what an amazing year! I cannot believe 2010 has come to such a swift end. One of my favorite features of the December issue is the Annual Story Index in the back of the issue. Compiling the information for this resource is like looking through all of your photos from the year. As I […]
Dear Reader January 2011
Happy New Year! I love January; it is such a glorious month filled with hope and promise. A blank canvas, which has been laid out before us eagerly waiting to accept the pictures we will paint. Every year around Thanksgiving I start working on my Christmas project – custom calendars filled with photos of the […]
