Publisher’s Perspective: July 2025

There’s something magical about July. Long days, lake breezes, fireworks, and front porch conversations that stretch late into the evening. Summer has a way of making time slow down just enough to let us catch our breath—and look around at all the good that surrounds us.

This month feels extra special as I reflect on one of the most meaningful moments in my life—our daughter’s wedding on May 31st. Above is one of my favorite images of my family from that day. You’ll find a more photos of this unforgettable day on page 50. It was a beautiful reminder of how deeply rooted love, connection, and community are in every chapter of our lives.

You’ll also find a feature starting on page 34 that I absolutely adore—Juelerye Artisan Gallery & Gifts. Watching the transformation of their space and the painting of two of the most breathtaking murals I’ve ever seen has been such a joy. This story is a must-read and a perfect example of the creativity and heart that make our Lake Norman community shine.

As always, I’m filled with gratitude—for the advertisers who believe in this magazine, for the storytellers who bring every page to life, and for you, our readers. Your support allows us to continue celebrating the people and places that make this corner of the world so special.

Whether you’re celebrating a summer wedding, starting a new adventure, or just soaking up the sunshine with people you love—LKN Magazine is here to be part of your story.

Here’s to red, white, blue, and all things local.

With love and sunshine,
