Anyone who is saying local journalism is in trouble is not working hard or smart enough! Local journalism is alive and well because locals want so much to read about what is going on in their towns. That is what the Highlands Current is committed to doing, and what I am committed to doing at A Little Beacon Blog, and is why I said yes authoring a column for my competitor! Kidding. We need as much local news as possible, and I’m honored to be in print.

June’s “Kid Friendly” column is about time - the speeding of time - and the forgotten moments of time when you had a dream or vision, and you didn’t realize that you stepped into that dream and accomplished it. It may look different or be different in some way that you realized - but you got there. What you do from there is a different story. What helps you make more of that story is journaling.

All is this is explored in June’s column, which you can zoom in real far and read here until they post the official version in the online version of the paper. :)

If you're a runner, your biggest fear is not being able to run. Jennifer Conroyd is changing all of that, by making it easier for you to run in water with the app she developed in the app-kit Fluid Running. Runner's World was so impressed, they devoted entire feature to it.

Newspaper Column Debut for Tin Shingle's Owner

Tin Shingle Gets Good Ink

Working with kids can be challenging (ok, very challenging), but can have payoffs. It's a hot topic in the world because so many of you do it!

Tin Shingle's owner, Katie Hellmuth Martin, has just debuted her first monthly column for the hyper-local paper, The Highlands Current.

“Kid Friendly” is a love-inspired column about kids and the realities of having them. Topics that will be tackled include entertainment, interior design, food, fitness, events, working-parent life, childcare. All the things we need to do in order to make kid-friendly work. You can read the first column here!

Being published in ink alongside local journalists is a huge honor, and writing about this subject matter is important to Katie, as so many working parents navigate the life/kid balance on a daily basis.
