A new magazine, just for us, has hit the shelves. There is a magazine just for brides, one for fishermen, one for crafters, and now there is one just for breast cancer survivors. It is called ?Beyond,? and like all magazines it has a glossy beautiful cover. It is indeed a beautiful and well-done magazine. ?Beyond? hit the newsstands and magazine shelves September 19. But to be honest, I have checked several places where I purchase magazines and have not seen it yet. It is worth looking for though.
The byline for the magazine is ?Live and Thrive after Breast Cancer?. The articles are bang on. There is an article on chemo brain, 10 best cancer-fighting foods, sexuality after cancer and an extensive one on reconstruction. I know about the one on reconstruction because I contributed a piece for the magazine on why I had reconstruction. Visitors to this blog site have heard it all before, but I feel quite proud to be a small part of this fabulous effort by the Meredith Corporation (Better Homes and Gardens).
This is their premier issue. It says fall and winter, so I would think the next copy will be available early in the new year. I received a copy in the mail because of my contribution, but I did ask the editor where we could find it and how often the issues would come out. I have not heard back yet but will keep you posted.
In the meantime, look for a bright pink magazine with a beautiful woman on the cover; Dallas mayor, Laura Miller, a true survivor. If you get a copy, let us know what you think. When a whole magazine is written just for us, it is fair to say ?We've got the power.? Just ask the advertisers.
