Dear Readers, Writers and Artists

I want to take a moment to extend my gratitude to each and every one of you—readers, contributors, and creative collaborators—who have shown interest in The Mama Temple in all its forms, and now in a magazine publication!

To the readers: Thank you for your curiosity and your willingness to engage with the stories we share. Your thoughtful interactions remind me why I do these collaborations! Every page turned, every issue opened, and every conversation sparked by our content affirms that we are creating something meaningful together.

To the writers and creative contributors: Your stories, poems and art bring wisdom, depth, and a sense of community. You shared your truth, voices and creativity with courage. Thank you for trusting me with your work and for helping shape this publication.

This magazine was born from a deep desire to connect, and collaborate with stories and art about Motherhood, so we may heal ourselves and others. In sharing, we can realize we are not alone in the world, that we all have challenges, joys, and wisdom from the experiences. I am hoping to put out one to two magazine issues a year and will post a call for submissions when the time comes. Please send me any comments, suggestions or if you would like to collaborate with The Mama Temple in any way, to jenrandallart@yahoo.com.

With much gratitude,

Jennifer Randall
