Letter From the Editor-March 2010
Stacey R. Louiso

March normally signifies the beginning of Spring, which in itself signifies change, growth and sunnier days ahead. I guess you could say, at attribute magazine, we are using Spring as a reason to grow and change things a bit. For those of you who read us regularly, it is important for you to read about changes to come...and for those of you who are new readers, or just passing through, we welcome you and hope you come back again, in support of our mission and our writer’s efforts...

However, recently I have recognized that I don’t particularly like to be around fat people. I began to ponder the reason. Some of these people who were no fatter than I am actually repulsed me. What was that about? Where did this self-righteous critical spirit come from?
