TEXARKANA MAGAZINE

Bright, Creative, Dyslexic by Alix Matteson | January 30 “Years later, our daughter, Aubrey, was also diagnosed with the trifecta. While it is still challenging, I feel fortunate to have the skills to help her. Early identification and intervention, followed by dyslexia therapy with a qualified therapist, are all vital steps to helping these children learn to read and write proficiently.” Bougie Grubs Egg Roll in a Bowl by Angela Evans | September 17 “Enjoy this delicious and easy Egg Roll in a Bowl for a quick weeknight dinner or lunch meal prep.”

Doubling Up at the Olympics by Rick Thomas, Texarkana Gazette | July 30 “Texarkana native gymnast Joscelyn Roberson mirrors her idol growing up, Simone Biles. Both stand 4-foot-8 and weigh 104 pounds. And both are in Paris for the Summer Olympic Games. Biles heads the five- woman U.S. Olympic team, and Roberson was named a traveling alternate, so she is on the U.S. sideline and able to compete if needed.” The Go-Giver Book Review by Lesli Flowers | October 29 “The most important takeaway of all that my brain keeps coming back to was one that Dr. Hickerson had mentioned in her interview with me. It’s a lesson so simple and one that I believe fully sums up the main idea of The Go-Giver . ‘The more you give, the more you have.’ Isn’t it so true?”

A Taste of Tradition by Emily Tarr | June 18 “Bryce’s Cafeteria was an iconic establishment that embodied

Southern hospitality and home-cooked meals. For over 86 years, it was more than just a place to eat; it was a beloved institution where generations of families gathered to share meals, celebrate milestones, and create memories.”

Bloom Where You’re Planted by Delia Tuttlebee | August 27 “In Jeremiah, God reminds his people that their transition is long enough to matter and that the uncertain and scary time is meaningful. This is true of college, and this is true of my first year post-grad. Wherever I am, I’m going to treat it like I’m there long enough to make an impact, to build relationships, and to try new things because I’ve realized there is no time to waste.”
