Feeling This Flavor

Tuesday, March 2, 2010
I always enjoy seeing new online publications geared towards African American females, since we barely see it in print publications. With that said, there is new magazine that hit the net yesterday that you definitely need to add to your favorites, it's Salt Magazine.



So I'm sure your thinking in your head, "why salt?". Well I could paraphrase it in my own words but it won't do it justice, so here's their mission straight from source:

From the Publisher::
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Salt Magazine is the place to taste the good life.

Our belief is that the good life is NOT the unachievable life that you die wishing you could have lived up to. Rather, we believe
that the good life is one where you dream big, face reality,
embrace life’s challenges, conquer circumstances and develop
wholeness in every aspect of your life.

As we all grow and mature, we realize that this good life
doesn’t just fall into our laps; and THAT'S what makes it all
worthwhile.

If your life represented one grain of salt, how would it taste?
Would it enhance the flavor of everything it came in contact
with?

Salt is committed to delivering practical solutions to help you
enhance the flavor of your greatest gift of all: Life.

There’s a gift that God has given you, and in each issue of
Salt we will encourage you to tap into it and share it with the
world. After all, what is the purpose of salt but to enhance flavor?

So, enjoy our launch issue! We hope it brings renewal and
refreshment to the ingredients of your life that need it most; and
we look forward to sharing our Salt with you in the many issues
to come.


From one grain of Salt to another,


Carline R. Léger
Publisher, Salt Magazine


Sounds amazing doesn't it? It is! I'm so happy to see a publication dedicated to empower women using the gifts that God has given them while also giving praise to Him. Uber fabulous. I couldn't help but love it too since my friend Dominique is one of the contributors. So do two things check out www.salt-mag.com and Dominique's blog, turnyalifeup.blogspot.com ...both will encourage and uplift!

I like the concept and Idea, but I dont particularly like the idea of the name 'Salt'. Salt has bad connotations in pretty much every aspect its used. I think ther are plenty of more pleasurable names that couldve been used.

Thanks EJ!!

To ~BlkQueen~: the name Salt was used for the magazine because it is based on the scripture found in Matthew that says we are the salt and the light. Carline, the publisher and creator, gave a pretty good explanation of why she chose the name. She probably explains much better than I ever could. Also, I believe that we aim to bring a new, positive connotation to the word Salt.

I hope that you enjoy the magazine and continue to support it. :)
