A Labor of Love



  She struggles to the kitchen early.  Hair golden gray eyes shinny but tired. The holidays are just not the same. She walks a little slower these days. Her knees creek from the pain in her joints. Still she knows her family will be expecting something delicious from her kitchen and she never disappoints.  She speaks out loud "Alexa play me some  70's music." she commands.  "Playing your favorites" the box replies.  This thing always knows what I need she hums as Glady's Knight  begins to play.  With renewed energy  she grabs a big ole pot and begins her labor of love.

What to do with it all?

  Hello social media world. I am Hannah Jeffers Editor in Chief of TRUCE Magazine Memphis a local Magazine designed to promote unsung heroes in the Memphis area. Recently I was encouraged to create a blog that would allow the public to follow me as I worked from scratch to     a physical hard copy work that would encourage and motivate others. Intially I refused.   Then today happened! I woke up, Thank God, but from there it went all downhill. Everything went black. My laptop got fried and my cell phone has a terrible virus that will no longer let me use it. As a writer, I immediately began to journal my frustration, and a mental bright light switched on. I realized that is exacty what a blog is. I hope you wills join me in my journey of sharing with you all the daily frustrations of being Editor in Chief of an upcoming literate work in this difficult industry.

Understanding the Assignment

When God gives you an assignment    people will question your ability, What I am learning is this work is not meant to be understood it is meant to be done. I have spent most of my life asking the why and the how, and as I listen to the stories of those who have been called to do the unpopular works I am grateful for the opportunity just to learn. Today my greatest challenge as an editor is to listen and wait for the universe, we call God to give me the what, why, when and how. After all I did call it a TRUCE.  If you are reading this blog congratulations, you are maintain mental clarity   and staying alert. Please subscribe and follow for more .
