In a world of ever-increasing technology, it’s become much harder to connect with our surroundings, ourselves, or what we’re truly capable of. It’s easier to live safely and sheltered from risk. However, stepping out from this shelter is what we need not only to connect, but also to grow, to know who we are and what kind of world we live in.

The world around us is filled with systems and beliefs that promise us something: financial stability, the perfect marriage, success, popularity, good health, or a happy life. But what happens when those promises turn out to be empty? What happens when our health fails, when the money is gone, or when our marriage hits a rough patch? Where do we turn? What is there that supersedes it all and can offer peace, even in life’s storms?

President Trump and members of Congress from both political parties have proposed suspending the federal gas tax, currently 18.4 cents per gallon, to provide consumers relief from this year’s substantial increase in gas prices. Unfortunately, consumers are unlikely to see much, if any, benefit from this “gas tax holiday.” Instead, oil companies are the most likely beneficiaries.

Genesee County’s Ultimate 4th of July Guide

 

July Reading List

July is the perfect time to slow down, relax, and get lost in a good book. Whether reading on a porch swing, at the beach, or during a quiet summer evening, books have a unique way of improving the day. Reading reduces stress, sharpens the mind, and gives readers a chance to escape from daily pressures for a little while. In a season filled with busy schedules and constant screens, taking time to read can feel refreshing and calming — a simple habit that makes summer days more meaningful and enjoyable.

Vacation Mode

Lately, we have been trying to dip into vacation mode with a little more regularity. However, this has been met with no small amount of difficulty.

EDITORS LETTERS

Editor’s Letter

Last month My City celebrated its 13th year as your local magazine, focused on covering all of the creative, artistic, successful, positive individuals and events of the greater Flint area. This month, I am celebrating one year with My City. The previous publisher and editor, Vince Lorraine and Sherron Barden, created a fantastic local magazine that was filled from cover to cover with interesting stories, and reputable businesses ready to take care of all of your needs. After leaving the newspaper business after more than 20 years, I stepped into this role with the new publisher, Laura Constable, knowing that we didn’t want to mess with a good thing. We, however, added a few new features that allowed us to showcase even more local people.

Editor’s Letter

Are you starting to feel the energy in the air? In our family, the month of May has always been busy. From celebrating Mother’s Day, my husband’s birthday and our anniversary — this year marks 42 years for us — to remembering our military service personnel over Memorial Day weekend, there has been a lot to do. And now, we’re throwing the sports schedules of two grandsons into the mix.
