 Women Support WomenList Item 1By Tracy Bernard Have you ever watched an athlete play for the first time, or perhaps seen a new co-worker flawlessly command a meeting, and thought, “Wow, this person is going to be good?” That’s how I feel about the new owner and editor of Black Hills Woman Magazine, Kelsey Parker.

 The Good SpaceList Item 2By Kelsey Parker I’m a yogi, lawyer, business owner, and now … publisher. I don’t even know what that means – “publisher.” But, I’ll figure it out (with hours and hours of training from Tracy, “Googling,” “You Tubing,”... doing all the “…ings”).

 A Bit Fitter Than I Used to BeAs a teenager waiting tables, one of the most valuable lessons I learned was to save steps. I never went back to the kitchen without taking dirty dishes back with me. It would have to be done eventually and my customers weren’t likely to do it. After that, saving steps became a way of life for me. That’s why I always hauled in five bags of groceries and a gallon of milk at the same time—or tried to.

 Retirement: Dilemma or Delight?On November 4th, I officially ceased to work. No more schedules, assignments, meetings, training, deadlines, new programs and procedures to learn.
