These traits certainly characterize many of the people you will meet in this issue. Our cover woman, Najwa Massad, bravely left her home in Lebanon 23 years ago to escape war. She’s now a prominent business owner in Mankato, Minnesota, with an incredible story to share. Follow her journey from bombs and sniper bullets to the security of life in the Midwest, starting on page 41. Celiac disease has taken Darlene Woods down a road of great trial. After a lifetime of misdiagnoses, she settles into a gluten-free diet that improves her health. While the disease has left some lasting conditions, she has not let it stop her from living life to the fullest. This issue also highlights treasures of our area, including talented chef Sabine Johnson, who invited me into her private bistro to sample her German cuisine. It was unforgettably good, and as Sabine says, “It’s hard to talk about food, you just have to taste it.” In the article “A Call of Duty,” you’ll read about the challenges and strife as well as the rewards of life in the military. Contributing writer Mari Nielson spent time with women throughout our area to share their experiences. In support of families with women in the military, Womeninc proudly offers free subscriptions to women in active military duty. We’re delighted to provide these courageous women with a way to stay connected to home. England’s best-known preacher for most of the second half of the nineteenth century Charles Spurgeon said, “Hope itself is like a star – not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” We often learn the most while facing difficult situations. I admire the women in this issue who face adversity with hope, wisdom and courage.
