Michelle Hazen is a nomad with a writing problem. Years ago, she and her husband ducked out of the 9 to 5 world and moved into their truck to become desert tortoise biologists. She found her voice with the support of the online fanfiction community, and once she started typing, she never looked back. As a result, she has written most of her books in odd places, including a bus in Thailand, an off-the-grid cabin in the Sawtooth Mountains, a golf cart in a sandstorm, a rental car during a heat wave in the Mohave Desert and a beach in Honduras. These days, she works as a freelance editor and writing coach with Sanctuary Editorial mostly based out of Idaho, but thanks to the wonders of Wi-Fi, she and her husband are still soaking up inspiration while they travel the country and work along the way. She's currently addicted to Shadow and Bone, rock climbing, and Tillamook cheese. Michelle is double-agented, so for rights inquiries for romance, psychological suspense, or for her self-published novels, please contact Eva Scalzo of Speilburg Literary.

Laura Walthers grew up in the Midwest where she loved playing in the trees and spending time in Nature. With 14 years experience as a professional photographer Laura uses her creative muse to discover the hidden realms of the Faery. Her life took on a whole new dimension when she photographed a group of nature beings while on a hike with her daughter Jess and husband Paul in Washington State. She began to photograph REAL faeries, gnomes, elves and the energetics of sacred trees in nature. And then they began to communicate with her! She was asked to help humanity awaken to the consciousness that is Nature and to teach people about the sacred relationship we have with the elemental kingdom. Her new book Life In Nature Revealed: Real Photographs of Faeries, Gnomes and Elves is a compilation of what she calls her "Conscious Photography" collection.

Seine vielfach schwarzweißen Fotos erzählen Geschichten, wie beispielsweise dem Marsmännchen-Shoot mit Helena Christensen für die italienische Vogue. Inspirationen für seine Shoots nahm Peter Lindbergh auch aus seiner Herkunft, dem industriellen Ruhrgebiet. Die Protagonisten sollten sich frei und natürlich bewegen und ihn und die Kamera ignorieren. Eine Art teilinszenierter Straßenfotografie im Gegensatz zur Studio-Fotografie. Keine Regieanweisungen, kein gekünsteltes Posing für die Kamera. Weiter kann man sich von der klassischen Modefotografie mit „menschlichen Kleiderpuppen“ auf Laufstegen kaum entfernen. Heute sprechen wir darüber, wie er durch seine sympathische Art die richtige Atmosphäre und das Vertrauen aufbaute, um so die ikonischen Bilder zu erzielen. Und wir sprechen auch über unsere VorBILDER. Wir danken Rainer und Hildegard für ihre eingereichten “Lindbergh-Bilder”.

Have you ever seen a fairy in real life? The faery realm is a very real thing and our guest Laura Walthers is very blessed to have not only WORK with the fairies but she has captured many different types of nature spirits inside her photography. Listen in and then check out the show notes for some of her images. Laura Walthers has been a professional photographer for over 15 years. Her life took on a whole new dimension when in 2003 she captured a photograph of an ‘enchanted tree' on one of her nature walks with her husband and daughter in Washington state. It revealed dozens of images of REAL faeries, gnomes, elves, and other nature beings. This experience opened a deeper connection with nature and then they began to communicate with her! She was asked to help humanity awaken to the consciousness that is nature and to teach people about the sacred relationship we have with the elemental realm. Her book, Life In Nature Revealed; Real Photographs of Faeries, Gnomes and Elves is a compilation of what she calls her “Conscious Photography” collection. She has actual photographs of the Elementals and faeries taken in such spectacular sites in nature as the Redwoods of the California Coast, the Olympic Forests of Washington State, The Willamette Valley of Oregon, Mt. Shasta and even the Mohave Desert! Laura is currently seeking a publisher for her new book; working title: Enchanted Faerie Houses; How to bring Faeries into Your Heart and Home. It is a How To book showing visual step-by- step images on creating your own enchanted faerie houses. It is a guide to invite the faeries inside your home and tips on how to have a closer relationship with them. Laura is also creating a nature oracle deck from her own compilation of authentic photographs. The nature beings and faeries have messages and light codes for the reader in the 55-card oracle deck. Laura's photography gives form and substance to a reality many of us knew existed when we were children. Laura has traveled throughout the United States presenting visual presentations of her incredible multi-dimensional nature photography never seen by the public. She assists in re-connecting children and adults to the vibrancy of nature on her enchanted outdoor nature walks where she resides in Oregon. She is intuitively led by nature to specific ‘gnome home' trees, ‘faerie' doors and enchanted locations to discover the different levels of energy within nature. www.beingenchanted.com email: playwithfae55@gmail.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/Realphotographsoffaeries http://www.facebook.com/lwalthers Instagram: @faeryvisionteller --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/craving-consciousness/message

Chances are you took a lot of walks during the pandemic. But, we'll bet you didn't walk with the same purpose Nick Christie and Robyn Stevens did. They're America's top race walkers and they're speeding toward spots to represent Team USA this summer at the Tokyo Olympics. They're also a couple in real life and they've spent virtually every minute of the pandemic living and training with each other. Nick and Robyn avoided all contact with the outside world in fear that catching COVID-19 would ruin their athletic careers. As endurance athletes, they worried the long-term effects would negatively impact their respiratory systems. So, they moved to the middle of nowhere. The Mohave Desert, to be exact. They committed to coaching each other and emerged from quarantine for their first race in February and won their respective U.S. Championships. On this Dying to Ask: The extreme lengths Robyn and Nick went to in order to not get COVID-19 How little contact they've had with anyone but each other How to dig deep and find happiness when you don't have a lot of control over your life Robyn's mental health hack that could be an instant game-changer in your life
The PCT is one of our 10 Premier Routes for good reasons! It is 2,597 miles long, with 420,880' of vert, passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks ... and is competitive. And Timothy has been a top ultrarunner, with two wins at the Western States 100 including a Course Record. Game on! "When you have an opportunity like this, you take it. You go all in." His byline is "Mindful mountain ultra runner". On a massive effort that will likely take 52 days, which includes the heat of the Mohave Desert and going over 13,153' Forester Pass all in the first two weeks, and then the likelihood of Fire Closures and re-routes, how will his meditative practice help him cope? "Meditation plays a huge part of my life. On the PCT, I can go into a place where, 'An FKT would be cool, but that's not why I'm out here'." The Sierra snowpack was at 15% of normal when this podcast was recorded (May 4) - there will be minimal snowpack to contend with, but potentially many fires. Timothy will be using shoes and apparel from the Adidas Parley line - this is important as they are made with intercepted plastic waste. Plastic waste is found everywhere from the deepest seas to the highest mountain ranges; this technology turns plastic into high-performance fabrics. He will use the Agravic Boa shoe and the Terrex Two Ultra Parley "I like the BOA system. You can be going down a scree field, get some gravel in your shoe, and pop it off and empty it out without tying and re-tying your shoe." Adidas is the 2nd largest sporting good company in the world, and with major cred - Jesse Owens used their shoes in the 1936 Olympics!

Fascinating guest Chad Meek, Author of Giant Rock: The Greatest UFO Story Never Told, and The New Libertarian Party, Revolution for America, Futurist, and Astrologer is here today to tell his spell bounding true story. The nephew of renowned 1950's Ufologist George Van Tassel, who for many years reported channeling extraterrestrials at a place in the Mohave Desert know as "Giant Rock," as a child witnessed many extraterrestrial events. He has been an intuitive for many years; a gift he attributes to being a byproduct of the multiple occurrences of alien abductions he experienced in his childhood. In an effort to figure out why he was so different from others, Chad developed an interest in astrology and ultimately became an astrologer. He has continued studying astrology and doing astrological readings professionally for others for over 30 years. Today Chad will talk about the events he witnessed as a child while living at Giant Rock, including his own childhood UFO abductions. He will share the emotional pain he suffered as a result of all his experiences and talk about the psychic powers the abductions left him with.

Cora is a college professor working on her PhD in Psychology. She is certified in pet psychology, human psychology, and child psychology along with pet first aid, pet nutrition, animal reiki, and she is working on her FEMA animal disaster management certification. Cora started her college career in archaeology and has worked with many Native American groups on cultural preservation and social and environment justice issues. Animals and nature have always been her first loves. Her mission with Faeryland’s Farm is to provide a safe space for animals, humans, and nature to heal because she believes that in this chaotic world, love and positivity wins because the animals prove it so. Cora claims to have no special powers or gifts because the animals are the ones that provide all the love and healing while she just speaks human. She acts as their conduit. The health, happiness, safety, and well-being of the animals is top priority and Cora has worked very hard in her life to achieve her goal of having an animal sanctuary to provide that safe space for learning and healing. In addition to 11 goats, the farm has 3 cats, 4 rabbits, 2 dogs, one of which is 18, 2 turtles, fish, ducks, chickens, guineas, one donkey, and one husband in addition to the numerous wildlife that frequents the area. Page 2 Faeryland’s Farm is a concept grown from Cora’s love of animals and nature. Consciousness exists in everything, and the farm is a magical place that helps to shape the human-nature bond. Cora has traveled across the United States camping and hiking with her dog Little Bear that is now 18 years old. Little Bear has been an archaeologist, documentarian, Indian Activist, and wander and world traveler. Cora got her first goat about 8 year ago on a ranch out in the Mohave Desert named Baby that was her bottle baby who tragically died about the age of two years old. However, Baby’s legacy lives on and she was the inspiration. In addition to her therapy and educational work with the animals, Cora teaches a wide range of subjects from anthropology to history to psychology and cultural studies. Her PhD focus is mindfulness and how animals and nature enhance our mindfulness practices. Cora loves her animals dearly and cannot imagine life without them, as she has worked very hard in her life to have them. She believes that goats are great therapy animals because each one has its own unique personality and they just seem to have an inner knowing of what people need. Cora loves all the animals very dearly, and she does have a main therapy goat named Chocolate (pronounced Shock-o-lot); Chocolate’s therapy goat is Patience, and it is not uncommon to see the three of them together walking around the farm or in the truck along with Max the lab puppy.

Three popular questions I was sent include improving the size of Bartlett pears, whether a pomegranate can be planted during the winter or not, and what are whiteflies and what damage do they create? In this episode I talk about the three major types of pears that can be grown in the Mojave Desert, how to get them bigger and when to pick them. I also talk about the best times to plant a pomegranate and what to be careful about. Finally, one reader didn't understand what whiteflies were, how to control them and the problems that they create.

Don't know which fruit trees or varieties to grow and you live in a desert? You should hurry before the best ones are gone! I just received a Grow Organic fruit tree catalog and I wanted to walk through it with you if you are planning to grow fruit trees in the Mojave Desert. My experience is in two different locations in the Mojave (or Mohave) Desert for 25 years; for 18 years at the University of Nevada Research and Demonstration Orchard (700 fruit trees and numerous vegetable crops) in North Las Vegas and another five years at the Ahern Orchard 1 1/2 miles from the Strip in Las Vegas. This is podcast is meant to be a companion piece to a something I wrote for my blog at Xtremehorticulture of the Desert.Support the show (https://xtremehorticulture.blogspot.com/)
On June 20, 2018, paramedics found 10-year-old Anthony Avalos unresponsive in the Mohave Desert, California apartment he shared with his mother, 29-year-old Heather Barron, her 32-year-old boyfriend Kareem Leiva, and his eight other siblings. Barron had called 911 claiming that Anthony had been injured in a fall. What the paramedics found when they arrived told a very different story.
Wine Country TableBy Janet Fletcher Intro: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book podcast with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Janet Fletcher: I'm Janet Fletcher in Napa Valley California, and I'm the author of 'Wine Country Table.'Suzy Chase: California, a western US state, stretches from the Mexican border along the Pacific for nearly 900 miles. Its terrain includes cliff lined beaches, the Redwood Forest, Sierra Nevada Mountains, Central Valley farmland and the Mohave Desert. Talk a bit about the range of California's bounty.Janet Fletcher: Oh you know Suzy, I think a lot of people think of California as just warm and sunny all the time, and we have a lot of that. We have a lot of sunshine, but we have an incredible range of climates. Climate zones, and micro climates, within those zones. We have a lot of cool, foggy coastal areas that are great for certain wine grapes and great for certain crops like lettuces and artichokes and brussels sprouts, and broccoli. I feel like there's a sweet spot for every crop you might want to grow somewhere in this state.Suzy Chase: This book includes 23 stunning farms and wineries. How did these 23 make the cut?Janet Fletcher: We were looking to showcase a variety of crops and a variety of growing regions, and all of the farms and all of the wineries that are showcased in the book, are leaders in sustainability. Some are organic, not necessarily, but all of them are really known as models of sustainable farming or grape growing, and that's really what we wanted to showcase. That California is not only the U.S.'s number one agricultural state but we're really global leaders in sustainable practices.Janet Fletcher: Which is not just ... of course sustainability has a lot to do with how you treat the land. Whether you do dor don't use herbicides and pesticides, are you a good environmentalist? But also, are you conscientious about saving other resources like water, like energy. Are you good to your employees? Are you a good member of your community? It's a more holistic approach to farming then, say, biodynamics or organics.Suzy Chase: In addition to the stories, this book includes 50 recipes that cover all the bases from breakfast to desserts. Talk a little bit about that.Janet Fletcher: Well, breakfast, one of my favorite recipes in the book is, I call it Golden State Granola. California is known as the Golden State. And the Golden State Granola really showcases one of our major crops, which is almonds.Janet Fletcher: There's a lot of toasted almonds in it, and toasted oatmeal and coconut and raisins and dates, and just kind of a compilation of a lot of the things that we're known for, here in California. It makes a great topping for yogurt, or a great breakfast, with some milk on top. So, really love that recipe for breakfast.Janet Fletcher: And smoothies, I'm a big smoothie fan, and I love taking dates or prunes. Prunes, you know, are just dried plums, and putting them in a blender with a frozen banana and some buttermilk, which is very low in fat, and making a delicious breakfast smoothie.Suzy Chase: Now, would a vintner 60 years ago recognize what's going on today in California?Janet Fletcher: Interesting question, I think actually a lot of the old timers, or people from a generation or two ago, were really surprised by how grapes are being grown in California today. One thing that comes to mind is that if you drive around the vineyards, vineyards almost anywhere in this state. I'm talking about vineyards for wine, not just table grapes, you're going to see what looks like sometimes kind of messy vineyards. They look like they have weeds in them. In the old days, vineyards were always really carefully tilled, and so the ground was very bare under the grapes. And today, it's not.Janet Fletcher: And that's because people are growing cover crops to attract beneficial insects and in some cases, to add nutrients to the soil, or maybe, prevent erosion. There are all sorts of reasons to plant cover crops. But, almost every vineyard is doing it today, so vineyards can look kind of messy, because they have these grasses growing up under the vines, or between the rows.Suzy Chase: You mentioned table grapes. What's the difference between a table grape and a grape for wine?Janet Fletcher: Well, some table grapes are used in wine making, one of the biggest ones is Thompson's Seedless. That's probably our main table grape. And it's used, it's used in wine, I wouldn't say it's used in high quality wines too much, but it is a grape that you can vinify. You can vinify any grape. You can add yeast, and ferment it and make wine.Janet Fletcher: But over the centuries, wine makers have learned that certain grapes produce a better flavored wine. Wine grapes tend to have thicker skins, they're not ones you would necessarily enjoy as a table grape, because they have thick skins and they have seeds.Janet Fletcher: And today of course everybody, for the table, they want a seedless grape with a thin skin. So, there is that difference of eating quality, but, and also, wine grapes, to make wine, they let them get really, really sweet. They get up to about, oh, almost a quarter sugar before they pick them. To make wine. And I think very few table grapes are picked at that high a sugar.Suzy Chase: Immigration is a hot button issue right now. How essential is the immigrant population with helping California farming production.Janet Fletcher: Essential is the word. Our immigrant communities are essential. We couldn't, we could not have agriculture in California without the people who work year round, in our vineyards and on our farms. They prune, they cultivate, they harvest. They are the labor force, and most of the native born Americans are not willing to do that work. It's hard, physical work. And so, immigrant communities, in California, agriculture is primarily Hispanic people, mostly from Mexico, who do a lot of the work in our farms. And they are just essential. And I think one aspect of the sustainability programs that most wineries and farms are signing on to is the understanding that working conditions have to be proper, they have to be beyond proper.Janet Fletcher: I mean, California regulates all of this. Farmers and vintners have to follow certain regulations about employee welfare. But people who are advocates of sustainability sort of go beyond that. I'm thinking of one great, one vintner in California, and I'm sure he's going to kill me when I'm, but he's quite a well known character. Larry Turley, of Turley Wine Cellars, who has pledged to put any one of his, the kids of any one of his employees through a state college. He'll pay their state college tuition, and he has done that for four and he told me that there are 28 more people currently, young people who would qualify, and he stands ready to put them all through state college.Janet Fletcher: So there's just this understanding that, employees are key assets, and you have to treat them well. It's just the right thing to do.Suzy Chase: One story that caught my eye was the Resendiz Brothers, in the town of Rainbow, an hour north of San Diego. Can you talk a bit about their story?Janet Fletcher: Isn't that a great town name, Rainbow? Yeah, and it really doesn't look like Paradise as you're driving up to it, it's a desert landscape. It's very dry and rocky. And very steep hills that are just bare, it looks like nothing would grow there.Janet Fletcher: But to go to Resendiz Brothers, which is in northern San Diego County, not far from the town of San Diego, you pull off the road and you drive up into the mountains. And there is this farm there, that's a cut flower farm. And we included cut flowers in the book, even though they're not edible, because there's a big sustainability movement in California cut flowers. You know, you can grow apples sustainably, and berries sustainably, but you can also grow cut flowers sustainably, if you choose to. And the Resendiz Brothers do that.Janet Fletcher: It's an operation that was started by a man named Mel Resendiz, who came to California as an immigrant, as a teenager, with nothing. And he started working on a cut flower farm just to, as a low man on the totem pole, and he learned the business. And he became very accomplished at growing these flowers in the desert.Janet Fletcher: They are a type of flower called protea, which doesn't take a lot of water, it likes that sun and those difficult conditions. And he started his own business, growing proteas for the florist trade. And he now has a large business, lots of employees, and he ships these flowers all over the world. They are gorgeous, and they grow out of this landscape that just looks like nothing would come out of it. So, he's turning this marginal land into very productive land that's supporting a very good business.Suzy Chase: He started out at 17, making $20 a day, and now he gets $12 a flower. This is a real great American story.Janet Fletcher: It really is, I'd forgotten those numbers, but yeah. Some of these flowers are quite valuable, and when I was down there visiting him, he took me, near the end of our visit he took me into his packing shed. And he started kind of ordering his employees around in Spanish, and they were bringing him all sorts of, all these cut flowers to his table in the packing shed. And he starts making this bouquet. And I thought he was making it for some client, that it was going to go off to some bride, somewhere, for some society wedding. It was this gorgeous bouquet, and it was getting bigger and bigger.Janet Fletcher: And finally, it was about two feet across, and he handed it to me. And I said, "Mel, I can't take that. I'm getting on an airplane in two hours. What am I going to do?" And he said, "You're going to take it on the plane."Janet Fletcher: So, in fact, I marched onto the plane with that bouquet, they let me on with it. And I fortunately had an empty seat next to me, and so I just put that giant bouquet of proteas in the seat next to me, and I put a seat belt around it. And off we went.Suzy Chase: That's so funny. I love it.Janet Fletcher: Yeah, a very generous man. Growing a beautiful, you know, building a great business on this beautiful crop that he found a niche for.Suzy Chase: You wrote in the book Luther Burbank, the legendary plant breeder, called Sonoma County the chosen spot of all this earth as far as nature is concerned. Talk a little bit about his ground breaking work.Janet Fletcher: Well, Luther Burbank was, I don't know where he was from. I'm not sure if he was a Californian, but he did most of his work around the town of Santa Rosa, in Sonoma County. And he was a famous plant breeder of the early, I'm going to say, the early 20th Century. And a lot of the fruits, primarily, are what he worked with. And a lot of the fruits that he created through hybridizing are still among our favorites, today. One called the Santa Rosa plum. Santa Rosa plum is one of our table plums, you can find it all over markets. The Santa Rosa plum is a great eating plum, that he developed.Janet Fletcher: But the one that we dry is called the Improved French plum, and that's a Luther Burbank hybrid. And that's what's grown in all of our prune orchards. Which are, it's just an absolutely delicious piece of fruit, both fresh and dried.Suzy Chase: In Sonoma County is the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. How did a world famous film director get into the wine business?Janet Fletcher: Well, Francis Coppola is a wine lover. And, he and his wife bought a beautiful heritage estate in Napa Valley, I'm going to say, maybe 30 years ago. And really transformed that. And then he, I think he just enjoyed the wine business. There's a bit of a performance quality to the wine business as well, in some levels, and I think he just enjoyed being in agriculture. I think his wife, Eleanor Coppola's an amazing gardener, and they went on to buy this property in Sonoma County, another important heritage estate. And that's where they have Francis Ford Coppola Cellars now.Janet Fletcher: It's a wonderful place to visit, and the thing that he did that was pretty revolutionary for the wine industry, is that he created this winery that is very welcoming to children. I think wineries have sort of shied away from that, for fear of crossing a line, offending people that they're marketing to children. But Coppola just embraced kids, and he created a swimming pool. He used to, he noticed that at his Napa winery that kids were always wanting to go into the fountains, and parents were always admonishing the kids not to go into the fountain. So he said at his Sonoma winery, he was going to have this giant swimming pool that kids could enjoy. So, there's all sorts of fun, family oriented things to do at his winery in Sonoma. Including a beautiful garden, great restaurant and this enormous, oversized swimming pool.Suzy Chase: Among the fog, what is harvested on the north coast?Janet Fletcher: The foggy areas on the north coast are really best for certain wine grapes that like cool climates like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir. In the Anderson Valley, which is one of our coolest growing regions along the coast, wineries are just growing varieties that are more typically associated with Alsace, one of France's coolest growing regions. That would be the varieties, like Riesling and Gerwurztraminer, so that's one of the few places in California where those cool climate grapes are still grown, in the Anderson Valley.Janet Fletcher: But as far as produce, those cool climate areas are really great for all those beautiful baby lettuces that you see in fancy restaurants. There's one grower along the coast, in a little, you can't even call it a town. It's just a little speck of a burg called Bolinas. He grows an amazing array of lettuces, very tender lettuces, and he has really, the farmer who deserves a lot of the credit for introducing the Little Gem variety, he started growing it and taking it to a Farmer's Market in San Francisco.Janet Fletcher: It's a Romaine type, but very small, very crisp. People fell in love with the Little Gem lettuce that this farmer was growing. And it's now, I mean, it's the trendiest lettuce. It's on every menu, and people have Little Gem Caesar salads, and Little Gem this and that. But he really introduced the Little Gem, I would say, to California agriculture.Suzy Chase: You wrote, "The early Sierra Foothills grape growers got it right. Zinfandel belongs here." Why is that?Janet Fletcher: Well, Zinfandel likes mountain vineyards, it does really well on these higher elevation vineyards. It likes some heat. And it doesn't really get a lot of flavor until it gets very ripe. Riper than you would pick, say, a Pinot Noir or a Chardonnay. And, it also, you know, it needs good drainage, like most grapes so that's, but it really likes the drainage that you get on a steep hillside.Janet Fletcher: You know, it got established in some of these older California vineyards, like 19th Century vineyards, in the Sierra Foothills, shortly after the Gold Rush. That's where the Gold Rush happened, and of course a lot of these people who came to California to mine gold, they liked to drink. And they wanted their wines, and so people started planting vineyards there. So some of our oldest vineyards are in that sort of Gold Rush area, in the Sierra Foothills.Janet Fletcher: And today's wine makers are just overjoyed when they can get a parcel that has some of these older vines on it. Some of them might be 80, you know, 70, 80, 90 year old vines. And they are very prized, because they have shown that they can survive in that climate. You know, it's like survival of the fittest. They're the vines that have done well there, have survived for all these years, and have very deep roots and make beautiful wines. So that's where these old vine Zinfandels that you read about, a lot of them are coming out of that Sierra Foothills area.Suzy Chase: Speaking of old vines, the Lucas Winery in Lodi is owned by David and his wife Heather Pyle Lucas. So, David purchased the land in 1976 after doing a stint in the Peace Corps and US Foreign Service with expertise in Asian rice cultivation. And he just wanted to own land and grow something. They have old vine, world class Zinfandel, and David has named every grapevine. I love that.Janet Fletcher: I went into one, into their barrel area, and there was this vine mounted on the wall. A dead vine, with no leaves on it. It's just those gnarly arms. And it was mounted on this wooden board, it makes almost like a cross shape. It looks this religious icon on this barrel wall.Suzy Chase: I found it funny, because I kept reading it over and over, and I was thinking, "A tractor ran over Cindy?" And then I was like, "Oh, Cindy's a grape vine." It was so funny.Janet Fletcher: Exactly, yeah, that was, David Lucas gives all his grape vines names, all his old ones. They have names because he just treasures them. He sees them as, you know, almost members of the family. And they are prized, and you can injure one if you have a tractor or a weed eating device that goes, there are these kind of plows. And when they sense the vine trunk they go around it, they retract and they go around it. But if you're not handling it properly, you can do some damage to a vine. And that's what happened to poor Cindy, she got nicked and she didn't survive. So, he mounted her on a wall, like a shrine, and it's quite, it's a beautiful, it looks like a work of art. Very gnarly arms that kind of stretch across the wall of their barrel room. You can't miss Cindy.Suzy Chase: So, on your personal blog, you wrote, "I live, cook, garden and write on a quiet street in Napa Valley. My house is not large, but my kitchen is. And my sunny garden is bigger yet." That sounds dreamy. Describe how the two years you spent as a cook at Chez Panisse shaped your taste.Janet Fletcher: I worked at Chez Panisse, it was one of my first jobs out of cooking school and it, I was very impressionable, and it made a big impression. And it has really stayed with me in the years since. That was more 30 years ago, but working with Alice Waters is just, well, it was a dream for a young cook. And she has such a strong point of view, a strong aesthetic, and it really made a mark on me.Janet Fletcher: A lot of it had to do with supporting small farms, supporting local farms, being an absolute obsessive about quality and working with only the best. You can't make good food without great ingredients, and also, I think as a cook, I learned to keep it simple. That, if you buy great ingredients, that you just don't want to do too much to them, because you don't want to screw them up. Alice really shaped my approach to cooking and certainly that experience of being at Chez Panisse and seeing all that gorgeous produce that would come in the door, made me want to garden. So I've been an avid gardener ever since that time.Suzy Chase: Your husband has said, "Over the years, Janet's cooking and recipe development has affected how I view wine." Talk a bit about that.Janet Fletcher: Well, Doug makes wines that are, I hate to use this word because it sounds kind of trite, but they're very food friendly. They are not hugely tannic, they are fruit forward, and the alcohol is restrained. And the tannin is gentle. Doug recently retired, but he's most, but most of his career in the Stags Leap district of Napa Valley, which is renowned for that style of wine, anyway. But the wines are primarily Cabernet, that's what the area is known for, and Cabernets, depending on how you make them and where you grow them, can be very tannic and hard to like when they're young.Janet Fletcher: Doug's are more feminine, more soft, more ... not soft in terms of low acid, they have good acidity and approachable tannins. So they're very good food wines, we eat a lot of beans and grains and fruits and vegetables in this household, and not a lot of meat, and the wines, his red wines are very complimentary with that kind of produce first way of eating.Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called My Last Meal. What would you have for your last supper?Janet Fletcher: I, you know, every time I have an avocado, a beautiful, ripe avocado, and spread it on homemade bread or whole grain bread from a good bakery, and I put some coarse salt on top, and a little squeeze of lemon or lime, I think, "This is what I want, for my last meal." It just doesn't get any better than a great California avocado, buttery, nutty, and I, you know, I'm quite happy with something like that. It's, in fact, I have that for lunch a lot. Just a piece of avocado toast.Janet Fletcher: So it makes me laugh, that avocado toast has become so trendy, because I've been eating that for a long time. Even at Chez Panisse, when I was a cook there, and I had like all this amazing food around me. For my little break time lunch, I would just grab a piece of bread and an avocado. And I would be very happy with that for lunch.Suzy Chase: You were ahead of your time.Janet Fletcher: In terms of avocado toast, yes. I've been enjoying it for a long time. And will continue, even when other people move on to other things, I'll be eating my avocado toast.Suzy Chase: Until it comes back around.Janet Fletcher: Right. These things are cyclical. No, people will never give up on avocados. It's one of people's favorite fruits, they're so luscious.Janet Fletcher: And I did get to visit an avocado grower in the book, and profiled him. He's down in the Carpinteria area, near Santa Barbara. Family farm, he farms with his wife, and has two adorable children, or three. And they grow citrus and avocados, and they're very sustainable about it.Janet Fletcher: In fact, he gets a lot of the mulch that he puts around his trees from a local Starbucks factory where they make Frappuccino, so there are all these coffee grounds that he can get for next to nothing. And he puts those around the base of his tree, to provide nutrients and keep the weeds down. And it, other people do not do that. It's pretty progressive, a pretty new thing to think about mulching your grove.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web, social media and your cheese class?Janet Fletcher: Well, I hope people will find me on janetfletcher.com, that's my website where I list all my classes. I teach a lot of cheese appreciation classes and cooking classes. I have a blog called Planet Cheese and people can sign up on my website, janetfletcher.com, it's a once a week read, something new that I've learned about cheese and want to share.Janet Fletcher: So, cheese is a great passion along with my love of writing about farms and farming and great produce. I do love the world of cheese, and I hope people will join me with Planet Cheese. Instagram, @janetfletcherNV, for Napa Valley. And Twitter, @janetfletcherNV.Suzy Chase: Awesome.

This week we learn how to Do The Impossible with Extreme Athlete, Ray Zahab. “You define yourself by what you do” Ray Zahab is an extreme runner and motivational speaker. He has been active in extreme running adventures in several countries around the world, including challenges that most people would consider impossible. But it wasn’t always that way. As a young adult Ray was smoking a pack of cigarettes per day, living a sedentary life and was basically unhappy. What motivated him to get off the couch and start training by tying a car tire around his waist for resistance while running uphills? What inspired Ray to become a leader in perspectives about what is physically possible? The answer will shock you! “When things aren’t going well, resilience is your ability to stick to it, not give up and see that light at the end of the tunnel. Things WILL get better.” In 2007 Ray starred in the documentary "Running the Sahara" narrated and produced by Matt Damon. The film follows three men as they run across the Sahara Desert, from Senegal to Egypt, at a pace of more than 50 miles per day for 111 straight days and more than 4,300 miles of challenging terrain. And that was just the start of Ray’s fantastic career to redefining “Impossible”. Ray has also crossed the Gobi Desert, the Patagonian Desert, the Mohave Desert, the Atacama Desert, Lake Baikal in Russia, Baffin Island, Death Valley and the Canadian Arctic. “A lot of the challenges that we face that are Goal-Based are 90% Mental.” Zahab is the author of the autobiography Running for My Life: On the Extreme Road with Adventure Runner Ray Zahab and co-author with Steve Pitt of Running to Extremes: Ray Zahab's Amazing Ultramarathon Journey “The one thing among leaders that seems to be consistent is that ability to be resilient” Links: Ray Zahab on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ray-zahab-974a5429 Ray Zahab on Twitter: @RayZahab https://twitter.com/RayZahab?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Ray Zahab’s Email: rzahab@impossible2possible.com Ray Zahab’s Website: https://www.rayzahab.com/about/ Impossible2Possible Website: http://www.impossible2possible.com Ray Zahab’s Books: https://www.amazon.ca/Running-My-Life-extreme-adventure/dp/1897178441 Running The Sahara documentary: https://youtu.be/HidKMFClQUU Ubiquity Leadership Coaching: www.UbiquityLeadership.com Next Week’s Show: Startups & Entrepreneurs with Startup Canada’s CEO, Victoria Lennox
Burning man episodes start now! First up the minds behind Big Imagination try to explain to me why they thought it was a good idea to chop up a giant 1977 air bus, and close down roads from the Mohave Desert to Black Rock city...so they could put half the cock pit of a plane on the ground. The thing is so massive, so heavy, so unimaginably large...and I know most things at the burn are just for the fuck of it, but never has it been this expensive, and this much of an undertaking with such medium results. I would rather them bring a 747 sized black rubber cock down the road. Who wants to be in a plane? I hate being in planes. I'll tell you what's an impressive art car. It's a giant purple and pink piñata, built on a fucking crane, that has lollipops that rise up out of it's belly with a platform disco ball candy dance floor. It cost 20k all in. But I wanted to put my judgements away and give them a chance to explain to me exactly what kind of Peyote they must have been smoking when they decided...hey! I know, lets show the playa gods how big our collective dicks are and take on this Herculean feat! I'll let them answer for themselves. Remember I'll be posting an episode EVERY THURSDAY! Yes I have a schedule CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! FYI It costs them 500k to get the plane back and forth from storage, EVERY YEAR. Music: MIA Paper Planes Simon & Garfunkel: Only Living Boy In New York

Tonight, travel with Ray to learn about a great place and some great people associated with it. Chad Meek Author of Giant Rock will discuss with us the mysterys and pheonema to this place. Her's a little more about Chad & Giant Rock... A novel based on real events. Written by a direct experiencer and relative of one of the main principals; George Van Tassel, Chad Meek takes you through actual historical events peppered with science fiction. Giant Rock culminates with one of the largest gatherings of people to have ever come in contact with extraterrestrials. Throughout history we have known men and women who have led exemplary lives as theological and philosophical beacons. Giant Rock profiles current, lesser-known, reluctant messiahs who were chosen by the guiding hand of a benevolent universal Council of Seven Lights. This Council governs all extraterrestrial and inter-dimensional beings. The human struggle is to break through established belief systems including money and materialism in order to find the philosopher's stone, a panacea that would benefit all of humanity. The story begins with the merciful gift of a Gigantic Rock that the Council of Seven Lights throws down from the heavens in order to save a starving tribe of paleo-indigenous Native Americans. Since that time, the Giant Rock has become the touchstone of universal understanding and the mortal fight for the narrative of the UFO phenomenon. Only a select few would realize that the Giant Rock, located in a remote area of the Mohave Desert, would become the crossroads for contact with some of the most powerful governing bodies and beings from throughout the galaxy.
Chad C. Meek is the writer, director, and executive producer of Giant Rock The Movie. He has taken his own early childhood UFO abduction experiences and time spent with his eclectic uncle, George Van tassel (1910-1978) to bring the first of three episodes about the people who gathered at a place called Giant Rock located in California’s Mohave Desert.Mr. Meek brings over thirty years of solid experience in the natural resource industries to the Giant Rock The Movie Franchise.chadmeeks3 Some of Mr. Meek’s accomplishments during the last 25 years as President and CEO of Clarity Resources, Inc. includes drilling six oil wells in Nevada’s Great Basin (under budget which has never been duplicated). This project’s success led to two oil well discoveries and the acquisition of over 100,000 acres of mining claims in Alaska, Nevada, and Bosnia. Giant Rock The Movie fuses together elements of Sci-fi, adventure, government conspiracy, and actual historical events. Although this film takes some creative liberties, the historical sources and spirit of George’s legacy remains constant throughout. We must reflect on this film about the compelling life of George Van Tassel as not only an important part of our history but also as a very contemporary public message which has transcended the decades and has been continuously denied by all the world’s governments: Aliens exist.

This episode was stuck on a recording device and I couldn't get it off until recently. It was really the 6th episode that Matt and I did out in the Mojave desert as we cooked food over an open campfire, smoked weed and told stories. We ended the podcast and slept soundly around the campfire that night with sleeping bags and mats.
My guest on the show will be Laura Walthers who grew up in the Midwest where she loved playing in the trees and spending time in nature. With over 15 years’ experience as a professional photographer, Laura uses her creative muse to discover the hidden realms of the “Faerie.” Her life took on a whole new dimension when she photographed a group of nature beings while on a hike with her daughter and husband in Washington State. She began to photograph REAL faeries, gnomes, elves and the energetics of sacred trees in nature. And then, they began to communicate with her! She was asked to help humanity awaken to the consciousness that is Nature and to teach people about the sacred relationship we have with the elemental realm. Her new book, Life in Nature Revealed; Real Photographs of Faeries, Gnomes and Elves is a compilation of what she calls her “Conscious Photography” collection. She has actual photographs of the Elementals taken on such spectacular sites in nature, such as the Redwoods of California, the Olympic Forests of Washington State, The Willamette Valley of Oregon, Mt. Shasta, and even the Mohave Desert! Come join me as I interview this most interesting person on a most important and enchanted subject. www.beingenchanted.com You can email her at faeries@beingenchanted.com
