Dear Readers,
It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Coming back to this space feels like reconnecting with an old friend after a long, unexpected hiatus. As many of you know (or may not know), I took an break due to some medical issues. Details aside, let’s just say I’ve spent far too much time with doctors, medications, and sterile hospital rooms. But I’m thrilled to announce that I am back, ready to dive into the stories that matter.
Absence can bring perspective. During my time away, I found myself reflecting on the very fabric of our profession—the insatiable curiosity, the relentless pursuit of truth, and the unwavering dedication to our readership. Every story unfolds a piece of the human experience, and being temporarily sidelined made me appreciate even more the privilege of narrating these stories.
I’ve watched the world from the sidelines, witnessing how swiftly it continues to evolve. From major political shifts and social movements to groundbreaking technological advances and the ever-persistent fight for justice and equality, the scene has been as dynamic as ever.
I’m eager to bring you stories that not only inform but also resonate on a personal level. Stories that challenge, inspire, and ignite conversations. The world awaits, and there’s no shortage of narratives to uncover.
Thank you for welcoming me back. Here’s to the stories yet to be told, and the journey we’ll embark on together.
And a special thank you to Carole who supported me through it all.
Warm regards,
Justin
