Greetings my good Challengers, out there in the challenging badlands of Austin Texas and beyond! This month we bring you great news, opinion, art, poetry, short fiction, and other creative endeavors our staff writers and guest contributors have been working on just for you. Be sure to check out the June feature story, ARC On Congress Ave by Zach Stone.
We all face challenges from time to time, some great and some small. As one of my favorite sayings goes, “any challenge where the outcome is guaranteed is really no challenge at all.” That’s life, in a nutshell, so learn to savor the good, the bad, and the ugly, and strive valiantly! And know that you are not alone. Thanks as always for supporting our work!
