Whether reading on a porch swing, at the beach, or during a quiet summer evening, books have a unique way of improving the day.

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.

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.

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.
