I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia,from red clay and cold mountain springs. I am steadfast like oaks, resilient like maples,persistent like pines, tenacious like willows.\u2028
I am from the Crowes and the Thomases, honest, hardworking, pinched by poverty. I am the sixth child of Tom and Mary Edith, from the hammer, saw and nails of a carpenter,from the wringer washer, rolling pin, and rake.<\/p>

I am from beans, and more beans, baked, fried, and mashed potatoes,homemade biscuits, lard, and Kool-Aid. I am from the Almighty Car, country music,Vacation Bible School, Jesus Loves Me, guitar playing and singing harmony. I am from a maternal grandfather who killed a man in self-defense.<\/p>

I am bathed in April showers, shoeless in summer\u2019s heat, shrouded in autumn leaves, steady on snowy paths.<\/p>

I am from Virginia\u2019s Blue Ridge.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I am from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia from red clay roads, quiet creeks, and cold mountain springs.<\/p>

I am shaped by the strength of oak trees, the resilience of maples, and the quiet persistence of pines. My roots come from hardworking families who knew both struggle and determination. I am the youngest of six children, raised by parents who believed in honest work and simple living.<\/p>

My childhood memories are filled with homemade biscuits, country music drifting through the house, and the sound of family laughter echoing through mountain valleys. Those early experiences shaped my love of storytelling, reflection, and the beauty found in everyday life.<\/p>

Today, those memories live on through my stories, inspired by family, faith, love, and the lessons life teaches us along the way.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
