Editor's Note

Signing Off

Lynne Azpeitia, LMFT, Voices Editor

After almost 8 years as Editor of Voices, I’m moving on.

This edition of Voices is my last as editor.

It just recently became evident to me that the time had come for me to reclaim the time, energy, and creativity I’ve been spending as an LA-CAMFT volunteer, and to put that toward and prioritize my family life; teaching, supervising, and presenting my practice development workshops and small networking lunches--and writing--over the demands of creating a newsletter for LA-CAMFT each month.

I am grateful for the last eight years as editor of Voices and find that I cannot adequately express in words how much I’ve enjoyed, appreciated, and learned from working together with everyone to put together the newsletter.

I am now ready for my next chapter/adventure.

After taking some time to decompress, I'll miss participating more actively terribly—and what an enormous personal challenge it is for me to consider saying goodbye to doing that.  

I have worked unbelievably hard and I am very proud of my participation and contribution to the legacy that is LA-CAMFT.

I am proud to have been part of such an outstanding organization—and volunteer team—and I wish LA-CAMFT only the finest in the future.

As Steve Jobs famously said of Apple… I believe LA-CAMFT’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role—not as a volunteer for the first time since 2009, but solely as a member.

How lucky am I.

I have made some of the best friends of my life through LA-CAMFT, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to meet you, know you, learn with you, and work alongside you.

Many thanks to everyone who has made this journey possible.

It was fun.
