Sept 2021 “From the Heart”

Happy Fall, y’all! September through November is considered fall, and it’s one of my favorite seasons! Bring on football, pumpkin spice everything and cooler weather!

Since our last issue, my family checked off an amazing bucket list vacation. Driving from San Francisco down the Pacific Coast Highway to Los Angeles. My heart is so full from all the wonderful memories we made! Alcatraz, Golden Gate Bridge, Lombard Street, cable cars, the Painted Ladies, Ghirardelli Square, Napa Valley, Muirwoods with the giant redwoods, the Charles Schulz Museum, Baseball (the A’s & the Giants who has the most beautiful ballpark I’ve ever seen), joining in Fiesta in Santa Cruz, Monterey, Big Sur, Santa Monica Pier, stars on the Walk of Fame, the Hollywood sign and Warner Brothers Studio tour were the highlights of the trip!

Speaking of tours, I always love to do a city tour when I visit a new place. It may be cheesy and definitely very cliché, but I always learn so much and it’s a great way to see a lot in a short amount of time. We only had a day and a half in LA, and of all the tours we could have picked. Choosing the two-hour or seven-hour tour and of all the buses that left that morning. What are the odds that more than 2k miles away from home, you’d end up on the same tour bus with another family from your hometown? I should have played the lottery that day! We had the pleasure of meeting the adorable Church family from Clemmons who just happened to be visiting California as well!

The September cover features Woodard & Company Asset Management Group. No better time than the present to take control of your financial future. Give them a call today to get started! As usual this time of year, there is no lack of activities going on in our community, so be sure to note all the event happenings. Our attempt at reviving our Kids’ Morning Out event in July fell flat, but we’re back and ready to have fun at one of our favorite KMO locations. Mark your calendar for Monday, September 13th from 10-11:30am at Salem Gymnastics & Swim. We can’t wait to see your smiling faces!

Blessings!

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 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!”
