“I walk every day, and I look at
the mountains and the fields and
the small city, and I say: ‘Oh my
God, what a blessing.’ Then you
realise it’s important to put it in
a context beyond this woman,
this man, this city, this country,
this universe.”
— Paulo Coelho
Are we there yet? Sometimes,
the federal government
has me feeling like
I’m in the back seat of the station
wagon and the parents are having
that argument about directions.
Do all roads lead to Rome? Or
home? Or … are we there yet?
I hope you all are feeling the
love. It is time to love something and keep a good thing going in 2019.
It doesn’t have to be that Eros love. Maybe it is just loving you. So our
February issue is partly dedicated to loving ourselves — health, wellness,
fitness, and personal growth. It’s hard to fit every topic in, but take a look
at some of our articles and try something new. If you don’t find what you
are looking for here, remember to remember … take care of you in the
way you need to.
We are really happy with the team coming together here at Paso Robles
& Colony Magazines. We continue to be blessed with great talent that
really makes it all come together. We have long-time leaders helping keep
the ship sailing north, and we have some new fresh ideas and energy. It
all amounts to more focus on our content, both advertising and editorial,
and it is proving a success in both accounts.
We were really excited to hear from Tami Jo at Tooth & Nail Winery
that they had immediate success with their ad with us in January. We also
heard one of our Holiday Gift Guide advertisers, Hope Chest Emporium,
did 45 percent increase year-over-year in December. And that isn’t all.
We love being a part of the success of our business community, and
we really feel strongly about that success continuing in 2019. We are
confident that it is our team, and our connection to the community, that
will determine our success — whether the stock market or the federal
government can figure out what it wants to do, we are going to work to
make our community and our partners successful.
Our business is assisting your business, and with a distribution of
50,000 copies in the North San Luis Obispo County, success is within in
reach. With our dedication to writing “Something Worth Reading” we are
always grateful to the community for doing “Something Worth Writing.”
Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Fuller would be proud of us.
When we come together on an idea, or a 6- or 12-month marketing
campaign for our clients, we celebrate the best community in the world,
and that is what we want glowing from our pages. Keep it going!
Please enjoy this issue of PASO Magazine.
