Publisher's Column - June 22, 2019

By Lindsay Keller, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Skokie, Niles, Park Ridge, and Far Northwest Chicago June 22, 2019

Do you ever feel like life is just overwhelming? That's been me quite a bit lately. I want to feel like the picture above--like a little girl running though a field with no cares and ready to take off at any moment. Okay, so I know that's not going to happen, but I would at least like to enjoy life and make the most of it. 

At the beginning of this year, I decided I wanted to start working on improving my personal health. I would go to the doctor and talk about what I needed to do to feel better physically. Well, now I feel like I opened Pandora's box. We're almost half way through the year and I still have more appointments and tests than I ever imagined. I'm pretty much writing off 2019 as the year of the doctors. But I hope that in the end, it will all be worth it.

So here's where you come in. I love Macaroni Kid and I love being your publisher. But I am becoming so overwhelmed, that I need help. I would love to bring on an assistant to help me. I would love for that person to be able to focus their time on ad sales and potentially social media coverage, as well as helping with occasional events. Do you know someone who may be interested? Could you be that person? Send me an e-mail at lindsayk@macaronikid.com . I would love to hear from you.
