PUBLISHER’S NOTE
School struck up a conversation with us. Some- one mentioned Mount Pleasant Magazine, and I asked what they liked about the publication. Meg, who has been here most of her life, said without hesitation: “Because Mount Pleasant Magazine is so positive and about where I live.” Whenever I see someone reading Mount
M
Pleasant Magazine, I usually take the oppor- tunity to start a conversation. I always ask a variety of questions, one of which is bound to be, “What do you like most about Mount Pleasant Magazine ?” Te responses usually are similar to Meg’s. Being positive is a way of life for us here at
Mount Pleasant Magazine, and we hope our upbeat attitude shows in the pages of our magazine. Lets face it: Living in East Cooper is not a bad gig, so it’s not that hard to be positive about the people, places and events that make Mount Pleasant such a great place to enjoy life. Te company behind Mount Pleasant Magazine is Media Services. We publish
several other magazines, including Mount Pleasant Home and HealthLinks. We work at being positive by following some basic philosophies. Tis doesn’t mean we don’t have our difficulties or challenges, but, to bring you magazines we hope will be uplifting in some way, we ourselves have to practice the art of being positive. For example:
1. Everyone on the publishing team is shown respect. 2. We believe that there is only one thing in life we have 100 percent control over: our attitude. 3. Everyone’s idea is of equal value. Collaborating is totally encouraged. 4. Good, positive communication is the best way to solve challenging situations. 5. We celebrate each other’s victories as if they were our own. 6. No one uses the word “problem” in the office. “Challenge” is better.
Creativity is a delicate mixture of personalities and skill sets. We hope our creative, positive approach to publishing will help make your life a little better and more
enjoyable here on “the pleasant side of the river.” Enjoy life and be positive – and thank you for reading our magazines.
