Moving and Other Matters (MAOM), inspirational leaders of Cheshire, have long been working on our upcoming Driving Forward Seminars scheduled for July 2013.  However, while we wait for summer to come, we realize that there is so much more we could be doing to interact with the community.  We at MAOM are proud to present our first monthly company newsletter, Movers and Shakers.

Movers and Shakers (MAS) is designed to provide you with a more intimate view into the workings of MAOM.  In the first issue we will concentrate an introducing the company, recapping what we’ve done recently, and advertising upcoming events.  Yet, despite the factual focus, all the articles (and articles in future issues) will be infused with the philosophy of Melissa Flynn and the company, designed not only to inform the reader of what we’re up to, but also as a medium for sharing our inspirational messages.  Most pieces contained within are written by Melissa Flynn, with some very noteworthy exceptions.  Will Dunlop, writing & editorial intern, will be running a column in which he applies lessons from Melissa to solve real life problems, showing you just how easy it is to benefit from her practices.  Kelly Schmidt, Vice President of Operations, has a small section in which she will share her own original sayings.  We are sure you will find them inspiring, speaking to your inner musings about life and goals, and sometimes even entertaining.

And the other exception is one that you, prospective reader, might find particularly interesting—MAOM is offering a Guest Spotlight column for anyone who would like to contribute to the newsletter.  We accept opinion articles, letters to the editor, and other works.  We at MAOM feel your work will help enrich our newsletter, but we also offer this opportunity as an extension of our company’s policy to help people—writers, in this case—share their work and thereby achieve their goals.  The official guidelines for submissions are included in this first issue of MAS, and the Guest Spotlight will be a short story by Connecticut writer Robin Swetz.
