Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the color brown is quickly being replaced by a myriad of green with splashes of yellow daffodils and red tulips. I adore spring – and love to see the earth coming to life after its winter sleep. The theme of this second issue of 2012 is “Color!”. When we [...]

From the Editor: Welcome to our “Jump” Issue
I’m always excited when the new year rolls around. It brings to mind thoughts of fresh slates, new beginnings, and lots of opportunities. I’m also thrilled when we bring to you a new issue of All Things Girl. The theme of this first issue of 2012 is “Jump!”. When we planned the themes for [...]
From the Editor: Welcome to Burning the Midnight Oil
Things that we love can plague our brains to near obsession at times. I know I’m not the only person for whom, during a creative spell, sleep abandons. My brains inability to stop thinking (obsessing) until a beloved project is completed or taken to the next stage is fueled by rich thoughts, insominia, adrenaline, and [...]
Coming Soon
We’re midway through September and I find myself so excited this beautiful afternoon as I look ahead to the next couple of months here at All Things Girl. First of all, be sure and check out our Arts Section. I just added two new pieces to our “Wasteland” Collection. We are in discussions with seven [...]
From the Editor: Welcome to Wasteland (Sept 2011)
Am I the only one who is shocked when time marches forward so quickly. It seems like only yesterday we were launching our first issue of 2011. And here we are today, midway through September just days away from the Autumnal Equinox. When we were contemplating themes for 2011, we wanted some contrast for the [...]
On the Horizon: 2012 and All Things Girl
I believe it was Einstein who defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results. So, for the sake of insanity relief, we are making some changes here at All Things Girl. Beginning December 29, 2011, All Things Girl will become a quarterly magazine. As with any relationship a [...]
Welcome to Childhood Memories (May/June 2011)
The calendar page has once again flipped, and here in the northern hemisphere we are well into spring. Summer is just around the corner. As much as I always loved school (yes, I was one of those kids), the lure of sum-sum-summertime was a powerful thing. No matter where we roam as adults, within each [...]
Submission Form Woes
We’ve been having some issues with our submission form recently. Thank you to those who emailed us about it to let us know. We have now fixed the issue (we hope) and it should be working as expected going forward. Our apologies to anyone who has tried to submit their work recently and experienced any [...]
Welcome to Reflections (March/April 2011)
I’m sure I’m not the only person thrilled that the calendar page has once again been flipped. I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the month of March, as it brings to mind fat robins, Saint Patrick’s Day, and the first day of spring. March reminds me that though there still may [...]
What’s going on with ATG?
As promised I wanted to give everyone some more insight into the changes going on at All Things Girl and address some general questions, so here goes… Q: What’s with the “beta”? A: This basically means we are a “work in progress”. It allows us to work on the site live and implement changes as [...]
Welcome to Castles in the Air (Jan/Feb 2011)
One of my favorite sayings is “woolgathering”, a term introduced to me by author Breena Clarke when we interviewed her in 2008. She said: “But recognize that thinking is part of it (that) woolgathering isn’t a waste of time and you will have times that you will sit and not write.“ It’s a reminder to [...]
The Elephant in the Room
If you are a regular reader or contributor to All Things Girl, you’ve likely noticed we haven’t quite been ourselves. Issues have been launching late, the blog is quiet, and though you haven’t heard anything, we’ve just been a little, well, off. To be honest, it’s been the elephant in the room among the ATG [...]
From the Editor: Welcome to Mother Nature, Father Time (Sept/Oct 2010)
It’s hard to believe that another seasonal change is on the horizon. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the Spring Equinox and in the blink of an eye, the Autumn Equinox will be upon us. The ancient cultures believed in the forces of nature as the soul of their culture, and within this [...]

From the Editor: Mid-Issue Update of Heart and Soul
We are mid-way through 2010. The Summer Solstice will soon be upon (at least for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere). The soft breath of spring upon the earth will soon become the sun-baked days of summer. Summer love, soul-wrenching good-byes… Tell me, what has captured your hearth so far this year? And better [...]
