Hi.

Welcome to This Awful/Awesome Life! My name is Frances Joyce. I am the publisher and editor of this magazine. We'll be exploring different topics each month to inform, entertain and inspire you. Meet new authors, sharpen your brain and pick up a few tips on life, love, entertaining and business. Enjoy and please share!

Next Month in This Awful Awesome Life - January 2024

Thanks for reading the December 2023 issue of This Awful Awesome Life. Previous issues are available to read on our website. Go to www.thisawfulawesomelife.com

and start scrolling or you can enter specific search criteria. 

Next month it will be 2024 and we’re making some changes.

A few of our regular features will be going away to make room for exciting new content

Orlando Bartro, and I will be back with interesting articles for you. 

In 2024, we will be celebrating The Twelve Months of Salsa. Each month I’ll be making a different salsa recipe. Stock up on peppers and tortilla chips! 

We’ll still have reading recommendations, streaming articles, “What’s in a Word?” and “Dare to Believe,” but we’ll be alternating some of our content. We’ll continue the monthly quizzes to exercise our brains, and we’ll continue reviewing books. 

I’m toying with the idea of writing a short story each month exclusively for our readers.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and much happiness in 2024. 

Stay safe. Stay well. You are important, and you are loved. 

All my best, 

Fran
