Verily

Months ago, I wrote a post about a new women's magazine called Verily that I had recently discovered. They had just released an online teaser issue, to generate interest before going into print, and I fell head over heels in love. It's wholesome and real, it's feminine and so beautiful, it's serious and meaningful. It's not at all trashy, it's respectful of women and what makes us who we are, and it's smart. I admire the women who put their hearts and minds into this project--this world was in desperate need of a magazine like Verily.

I subscribed the second I finished the teaser and since then I've been eagerly awaiting my first issue. (In the meantime, I've been tiding myself over with Verily's blog--which is also wonderful.) Over the last few weeks, the editors at Verily have announced that print subscriptions will be sent out very soon, and a few days ago they revealed the first cover! Isn't it beautiful? I'm dying to know what will be inside its pages.

I recently learned that an impressive circle of D.C. women are encouraging subscribers. I've been pleased to see some positive buzzing about Verily here in the blog world. I was recently speaking to a journalist at a Catholic magazine and when I mentioned Verily, she said she wrote an article for the first issue.

This magazine is getting attention and I want to do my small part in encouraging you, my dear readers, to consider a subscription for yourself. Based on everything I've seen so far, I can recommend it wholeheartedly, and I believe this is exactly the sort of publication we women should support.
