Letter From The Editor…
New Year, New Beginnings. This is what January usually represents. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time to redefine who we are and what we stand for. A time to plan for the future. Set goals, make timelines, and start anew.
Season’s Greetings

The Self-Care Journals – Les Trois
Susie Ziegler, Fundraising Professional
Susie Ziegler is not shy when asking for money. In fact, it’s her job, and one that she’s very, very good at. She excels at raising millions of dollars for an academic institution while juggling MBA classes, a healthy marriage, two cute pups, and various civic commitments including her duties as VP of Fund Development with the Junior League of Grand Rapids. And she makes all of it look easy. Her secret? Understanding that self-care is not an indulgence, it’s a necessity.
