We have all heard the saying, “It’s the journey, not the destination,” and even though I love the final landing and arrival much more than the travel, I have to acknowledge that life is about the transitions and phases. 

As time marches on, so do our lives and the things we do. Whether producing a play, making a cocktail, starting a business or growing a city there are stages that need to be built upon before reaching a goal. In this issue, we feature a few people in our community that are in various spots in that process: a glimpse into their lives and their stages. Enjoy.
