Oct 2022 “From the Heart”

Ahhh, smell the pumpkin spice aroma as you enter just about anywhere this month! If it can be flavored or scented this time of year, rest assured it will involve pumpkin or spice or both! I love fall; who doesn’t? Even a summer baby like myself revels in this glorious fall weather! No doubt you are busy as can be with fall activities and thoughts of approaching holidays, but take the time to slow down and breathe in all the goodness this season offers. As my time as publisher of Forsyth Family Magazine is winding down, I’m thinking about the seasons of my life, and I’m grateful! I’m grateful for what has been and what is to come!

I want to wish my brother-in-law, Terry Bralley a very happy 70th birthday! We are blessed to have you in our family. You make us laugh, and there is nothing better than hearing you and your baby brother, Tim, my husband, reminisce and tell stories of you guys growing up. Your mom, Delphia Bralley, aka Nanny was so proud of you both and taught me so much by the example she lived! We look forward to celebrating with you this month. And, while I’m talking about celebrating, Happy Anniversary to my husband! Thirty-four years and counting! Thank you for being the amazing rock you are in our lives!

Triple Threat School of Dance, Music & Acting is our cover this month. Holly and her team create a special environment for their students. The Winston-Salem location has been around for 22 years. Both my daughters attended their first year of opening and danced there until they graduated from high-school. It holds a special place in my heart with so many wonderful memories for our family watching them dance from young girls to young adults!

October is our annual fall home issue, so be sure to check it out for all things home related. Homes are our special place of respite. I think Covid taught us that lesson even more if we didn’t already know it.

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!”
