ACROSS TEXAS - AND BEYOND
“It is very inspiring, it will give hope to kids that don’t have it and honestly sometimes reading stuff like that helps others with trauma feel kinda normal, not that it’s okay but it’s okay to move on from what you’ve gone through or been through and be better. You don’t always have to focus on the dark. Turn the dark into light.”
“..the quality reminds me of Magnolia Magazine…”
“I love the focus on locals. The positivity of the whole entire magazine/articles was amazing! There is so much negativity in today’s world, you took that and turned it around…”
“…I read through the fall 2025 edition and absolutely loved every page. I couldn’t put it down and read it cover to cover. What stood out to me most was the consistent emphasis on community, belonging, connection, mental health and the reminder that we are not alone…”
“It was beautiful to see so many businesses owned sharing not only what they do, but why they do it and how they are contributing to the community around them.”
“…the touching story at the end reminded me that we may have struggles, tears and fears but we have t o face those giants and keep moving. I at times forgot to call on Jesus Christ, the one who has always been there for me in those moments of silence. Thank you all for reminding me.”
