If you live in the Flower Mound area, chances are you’ve received the Cross Timbers Lifestyle magazine. Each month, its crisp pages share the stories of local residents and businesses in a powerful way, a goal dear to the heart of publisher Jane Kryzsiak. 

Jane brings her decades of marketing experience in the corporate world, working with companies like PepsiCo & Tyson foods, to help build up businesses and nonprofits in our area. She loves coming alongside local business owners and learning what their objectives are to help get the word out. Telling the stories of nonprofits and charities is also one of her favorite parts of the publication.   

Together with her team, they create a magazine each month that avoids politics and other difficult topics to provide a focus on the good news in the community (and a welcome respite for readers). From the design, to the content, to the paper it’s printed on, each decision is intentionally made to create the best reader experience possible. 

The importance of connection within the Flower Mound community has led Jane to serve in many capacities. If you are looking for volunteer opportunities, she suggests you start with your church, school, or community organization. Young Men’s Service League, for example, is one of her favorite projects where she can include her sons. Volunteer service isn’t “one size fits all,” she reminds us, and each person should find the right place for them!

Be on the lookout for future issues of Cross Timbers Lifestyle magazine, which will include highlights of influential men and women in our community. You might just learn something unexpected about the local residents and business owners. Make sure to follow the magazine on social media as well for daily content or to submit a story idea.
