The Laurel Magazine, November 2021

Naturally, this November Issue is all about Thanksgiving and the cultivation of a sense of gratitude. We hope it’s obvious that we truly cherish the events and the people we spotlight in this magazine. Life on the Plateau is a dizzying kaleidoscope, and we can’t help but be passionate about it.\nOf course, we hold our advertisers in our hearts, which is an astonishing thing to say in the coldly cynical 21st century. But we know them on a first-name basis and we, all of us, are infused with that astonishing We’re In This Together mentality that’s defined the Plateau since the days of the Cherokee. \nAnd finally, we’re grateful for you, our readers. Each one of these pages was conceived and composed with you in mind. They’re our Note of Thanks to You. \nSincerely, \nJanet and Marjorie
