Dear Readers,

Welcome to our summer issue of San Diego Woman. Thanks to all of our readers for the incredible responses we received for our May/
June issue. We couldn't keep copies on the shelves. Everyone loved the classic Marilyn picture and all of the wonderful stories that our
writers shared.

We recently received some exciting news: The Women’s Regional Publications of America awarded San Diego Woman with two Gold
awards during their annual conference last month. We received the “Best New Magazine” and “Best Redesign of a Magazine.” Those
of us at San Diego Woman are thankful for this great honor. We were so excited when we were informed of these awards, and then we
received some more
incredible news! Our Photographer, Lisa K Miller, won the first place award in the Black and White Portrait category at this year’s San
Diego County Fair. Way to go Lisa!
This is our commemorative issue to Women of Distinction in San Diego. Our readers have voiced interest in learning how woman man-
age to do it all and come out on top. Many of our ladies have faced some amazing odds along the road to success. Several of our
"Women of Distinction," even managed to make the San Diego Business Journal’s list of the top 50 most successful female business
owners. This is an amazing feat when you consider most of these women are also juggling children and managing to have a life.

For those of you out there with artistic aspirations, take a moment to read Marketing Guru Rob Weinberg’s article on how to improve
your writing. In the “The Joy of Artist’s Residence,” you can learn how to hone your art while being surrounded by our country’s natural
beauty.
Don’t skip our special tribute to George Carlin. Thanks for all the years of laughter you gave us George, you
will surely be missed. And let’s not forget Tim Russert, another legend in our country and one who was taken
from us way too soon.

With summer comes those days of laying on the chaise lounge with your favorite magazine in hand. We only
hope that our magazine will be among your favorite reading material while you enjoy our wonderful summer
weather. Thanks once again to all of our loyal readers and all of our brand new subscribers. We enjoy every
moment of putting this magazine together for our readers and having the opportunity to hear back from all of
you. Keep those letters and comments coming, it truly makes our day!
