~~ The Mountain Laurel ~~
--------------------------------------------
On the east coast of North America run the Blue Ridge Mountains -- a portion of the Appalachians that stretch from southern Pennsylvania to northern Georgia; approx. 500 miles of ridges and crests that touch 8 states.
Like many communities that have formed and thrived on the slopes of mountains all over the world, the Blue Ridge has it's own rich history and culture. Since 1983 'The Mountain Laurel' newspaper collected and printed the untold tales of mountain life from the people that lived there.
Formed in 1983 by 3 friends with no experience in journalism or printing, the story of The Mountain Laurel is almost a tale worthy of the journal itself. Edited by Susan Thigpen, published by Bob Heafner, with circulation & the office managed by Charlotte Heafner, the Mountain Laurel first operated out of a rented farm house down a dirt road track. Layouts were organised on an old brass bed, subscriptions were handled on the kitchen table, and stories were composed on an electric typewriter, in an upstairs room to the sound of a gurgling stream.
I guess it was that naiveté and belief in what we were doing that carried us and The Mountain Laurel through., writes Susan when she reflects on that time.
---------------------------------------------------------------
~~ The Mountain Laurel Cookbook ~~
---------------------------------------------------------------
For a newspaper about culture and life, it's not surprising that recipes started to appear. Heritage type recipes, rich in history and story. The kind of recipes passed down from one generation to another, in a never ending song of bakers and cooks.
From the best tasting strawberry jam, to biscuits the size of cat heads, 'The Mountain Laurel Cookbook' represents more than just a collection of those published recipes, but a cumulation of mountain wisdom, technique and preparation from cooks long since gone.
It's not a book of 15 minute miracles, or of culinary wonders performed by TV chefs, but of love and time, like the dog-eared, handwritten recipes from your grandmother.
The Mountain Laurel Cookbook is available to buy on Amazon, in both eBook and paperback form:
The Mountain Laurel also has a website where you can find more information about this fascinating journal, from the people that created it

Expanding Consciousness, Controlling your Thoughts & Facing your Fears Podcast #186
Expanding Consciousness, Controlling your Thoughts & Facing your Fears
Sometimes you'll need to show your brain what you can do, that it didn't know you could... the mind will pretend it is the gatekeeper to your new experiences, but it's lying... to you. Don't listen. Be Adventurous. Show yourself how brave, how unpredictable, how amazing you truly are. (And your mind may still not believe it ~ oh well.)
The message today helps us expand our consciousness, including a gently powerful meditation. Our brain's can be too much in control of our human experience, trying to rigidly tell us what we are and what we are not. And yet, our brain is wired to our five human senses and less able to connect with our eternal senses, of what can be... That is perhaps why some individuals like vision boards and mantras, to inform the brain what can also be. Personally, vision boards and mantras aren't my thing (tomayyyto, tomahhhto). In this message we help stretch your field, to more flexibly allow for personal bests, new breakthroughs and more conscious creation of who and what you are here.
In the Q&A we also delve into the concept of spirit-based businesses (a healer), and the challenging part of making money at it, pricing and so forth.
In this message I also share a personal story about my younger daughter remembering what it was like to be born and another story, same daughter, and her demonstrating telepathy. Having someone, especially your 3 yr old, read your mind, can be an amazingly effective motivator to assess what your thoughts are, would you choose them and how to calm the mind and quiet your thoughts through meditation.
We covered a lot of subjects here, and I hope you find it helpful in your journey, making your light real, here.

“A View from the Trans* Bridge” (with Apologies to Arthur Miller)
“A View from the Trans* Bridge” (with Apologies to Arthur Miller): How the Transgender Experience and Perspective Contributes to the Contemporary Understanding and Discussion of Gender Identity for Everyone
Join Michelle Allison ’64 for a candid, intellectually sophisticated and emotionally adventurous discussion of gender identity as currently reflected at the systemic and structural level: politics and social institutions. As a practicing psychotherapist and transgender woman, Michelle will also help us focus on our personal experience as gendered selves: the psychological dimension of our roles as intimate partners, parents and members of our communities. Contributions from psychotherapeutic, feminist and transgender writings help us respond to vexing questions: To what extent is gender biologically based or a social construction (or, perhaps, a performance)? What does it mean to describe someone as a “real” man or a “real” woman? How does the cultural and political reaction to transgender people reflect on our anxiety about rapidly changing gender roles and norms? As our society grapples with patriarchy, how do we understand “male fragility”? Finally, how are these views impacting how men see themselves, and most importantly, what are the next steps to consider as we move forward to an emotionally and culturally positive gender space? Note: Audience participation is encouraged. This presentation will contain some explicit (but always professional) language describing sexual anatomy and experience. Presented by the Class of 1964.

Jerusha Abbott was brought up at the John Grier Home, an old-fashioned orphanage. The children were wholly dependent on charity and had to wear other people's cast-off clothes. Jerusha's unusual first name was selected by the matron off a grave stone, while her surname was selected out of the phone book. At the age of 18, she has finished her education and is at loose ends, still working in the dormitories at the institution where she was brought up.
One day, after the asylum's trustees have made their monthly visit, Jerusha is informed by the asylum's dour matron that one of the trustees has offered to pay her way through college. He has spoken to her former teachers and thinks she has potential to become an excellent writer. He will pay her tuition and also give her a generous monthly allowance. Jerusha must write him a monthly letter, because he believes that letter-writing is important to the development of a writer. However, she will never know his identity; she must address the letters to Mr. John Smith, and he will never reply.
Jerusha catches a glimpse of the shadow of her benefactor from the back, and knows he is a tall long-legged man. Because of this, she jokingly calls him Daddy Long-Legs. She attends a women's college, but the name and location are never identified; however, men from Princeton University are frequently mentioned as dates, so it is certainly on the East Coast. The college is almost certainly based on the author's alma mater, Vassar College, judging from college traditions mentioned. She illustrates her letters with childlike line drawings, also created by Jean Webster. (Summary by Wikipedia)
