From the Heart: April 2018

Nature has awoken from her winter slumber and what a glorious sight it is! Trees are budding, flowers are blooming at a rapid pace and lawns were being mown in March, despite our surprise snow! I just love spring! Nature goes from monochrome to technicolor, seemingly overnight! I love being outside and have ever since I was a little girl. I don’t like the cold very much, so I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of getting to spend more time in my favorite place in the coming weeks.

I haven’t given much of an update on my health lately, but I’m doing great. I had expanders put in a couple weeks ago to start my breast reconstruction. It took me a little by surprise, as I was in a lot more pain after that surgery than the mastectomy, but God is good and in a week or so I was already feeling better. Huge shout out for my friend Sandy Holt, as she finished her chemo and like me is on the road to recovery!

April is our annual Spring Home Issue and packed with lots of advertisers and articles related to your home. Spring is an exciting time for many, since they are either buying or selling their home. My oldest daughter and husband are in the process of buying their first home and we couldn’t be happier for them! Ashley McKenzie-Sharpe with Fairway Mortgage and Jody Peske of Keller Williams Realty are our cover story and make a great team for anyone looking to become a homeowner. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, upgrading or downsizing, they can ease you through the process! April is also our second installment for Summer Camp Showcase. Many wonderful camps abound to create one amazing summer for your child(ren).

Please consider joining the Pink Ladies of Forsyth Magazines team for the Komen race on May 5th this year! We hope to have an amazing team and would love for you to join us!

Blessings!

Robin Bralley

Forsyth Family publisher/owner from 2007-2022. She turned over the reins to the very capable Brooke Eagle in 2023 and remains a part of the team as an Account Executive. You’ll also most likely see her stocking magazine racks around town. Robin grew up in Clemmons and has called it home all her life. She has a degree from High Point University and after finding herself downsized from her marketing position in corporate America, Robin joined forces with Forsyth Woman publisher and friend, Keela Johnson to launch Forsyth Family.

She and her husband, Tim, have been married for almost 35 years and share two grown daughters, Briana and Morgan, as well as a son-in-laws, Briana’s husband, Jonathan and Morgan’s husband, Deep! She welcomed her first grandchild in May 2023. Being Mimi to Collins is one of her greatest joys in her semi-retirement. Robin and her family are avid music fans and enjoy going to concerts and movies. She loves traveling, watching birds on her many backyard feeders and flower gardening. She is an active member of New Day Community Church and feels closest to God on her daily walks at Tanglewood Park with husband Tim.

Regarding her favorite thing about Forsyth Magazines, Robin said, “It’s hard to narrow it down to one specific thing, but meeting all of the wonderful people I come in contact with and being a small part of local businesses’ success is top of the list!”
