July 2022 “From the Heart”

Happy 4th of July! We continue to adjust to our smaller house and life on the farm, lol! My husband keeps joking we should make a family video to “Green Acres” (a very old TV show for you younger folks). It’s hardly a farm, but we have land behind and beside us that needs to be maintained which has made us feel very rural compared to our previous Clemmons neighborhood. Several old sheds used for farming long ago recently came down to make way for our oldest daughter and son-in-law’s future home. And, eventually, our youngest daughter, Morgan, plans to build as well. My brother and his wife will be on the land beside us, and we just cannot wait for it to all come together!

Busy, busy times and lots of news to share from the Bralley household. My daughter, Morgan, recently got engaged to her long-time beau. Morgan and Deep have dated since college, so he became family a long time ago; but it was exciting for us all to hear the news, and we look forward to making it official! Let the wedding plans begin!

Other big news to share is that December 2022 will be my last issue as Publisher and Owner of Forsyth Family. With my 59th birthday approaching, recent move and a host of other reasons, it’s time for me to hand the reins over to the capable hands of Brooke Eagle. It will be bittersweet as I have loved this magazine like a child, but I’m excited for what’s to come. I plan to still help out with a few things, so you’ll probably see me out and about delivering mags for some time to come!

A belated happy 30th birthday to my future son-in-law Deep Patel! He turned 30 in June, and I missed mentioning it in the June issue! And, wishing a very happy 30th birthday to my current son-in-law, Jonathan! We’ll celebrate his 30th birthday while we are on vacation in Florida this month. Love both of you guys so much!

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!”
