Letter From the Editor-July 2010
Stacey R. Louiso

Happy Anniversary to attribute magazine! Yes indeedy, we are wrapping up our second year...and up until a couple weeks before July I forgot it was approaching... Yes, life has been hectic. Travel, writing, work, writing, travel, work, writing...see a pattern? In fact as I wrote this I was sitting at San Francisco International Airport. I had just wrapped up nearly two weeks in the area...and my red-eye flight back to the Florida heat was delayed (getting us out of there at nearly 1:00AM).

Although the Las Vegas, Nevada company has been in business for over twenty years, it has evolved and changed with the times; adjusting to accommodate the needs of the people, and especially, the environment. More and more, as our attention is called to the sustainability of the earth’s resources, our awareness is shifting from one of consumption to one of conservation. With a forward-thinking philosophy grounded in community-based design, Lucchesi Galati is a leader in the active implementation of ecology-oriented building and promoting sustainable lifestyles.

dianedunnWho do you see when you look in the mirror?

For years, all I saw was what my dad told me I was and reflections of childhood taunts: I remember when I was in high school I worked at the telephone company, where I got off at ten o’clock at night. To save money I parked two blocks away at the post office. I wanted to pay the fifty cents and park next door, however my dad said that would be a waste of money.

I pleaded. Finally Dad said, “What are you afraid of? If somebody grabs you, get under a bright light. When they see what they’ve got, they’ll let you go.”
This is the same man who had been sexually abusing me for eight years.
