Change is sometimes hard, sometimes sad, sometimes exciting and always,always … inevitable. I am facing a change in my life that I want to share with you.

This will be my last column as editor of The Southern Berks News.

On March 7, 2011, I walked in the door of Berks-Mont Newspapers for the first time, as editor of The Southern Berks News. I walked in nervous and anxious about whether I could do the job. I was rebuilding my journalism career; a career that over the years had morphed from radio journalism to political PR and then corporate PR before evaporating as part of a merger. I reinvented myself in a job with a consulting firm – where I knew I didn’t belong. When that job ended due to the downturn in the economy, I knew I had another opportunity to re-invent myself.
