Intelligence - Inspiration - Connection - Humor.
And then.....look closer..
Look out, to one another and themselves.
Look up from their phone.
Breathe.
Be still.
I hope the Guests inspire readers to stop.
There\'s more around us than we see.
There is more beauty around us than we see, even now in this unprecedented time of COVID-19.
Guests share universal fears, hopes, and joys unique to no one constructed "category" within which we\'ve confined ourselves.
We can move closer to becoming our best selves, whatever that looks like for each of us in this moment.
This journal exists in reaction to that toxicity by returning to a more old-school way of sharing.
The platform permeates our culture with toxic tribalism, outrage, extremism, and misinformation.
Social distancing means many rely on "social" media for information and contact, but the current business model perpetuates our worst human tendencies.
Guests include new and returning contributors with pieces perpetuating only our best human traits: ingenuity, humor, and resiliency.
During a time when inspiration, rational thought, and connection is needed most, the Guest Room is a space for well-crafted content that\'s healthy for its readers professionally, emotionally, and intellectually.
Guest Room Journal publishes tasteful, intelligent commentary, inspiring personal essays, interviews, humor, photography, art, and high-quality poetry.
I am seeking submissions, editors, and returning guests.
Look Closer: Mission Statement from the Editor: This is a one-woman show for now.
