My recipe for life:
Combine fresh food, great taste, and love.
~Sunninghill Jill

Whether you are a seasoned cook, or one who rarely turns on the oven, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to make a fresh start and enjoy better health and wellbeing. There is no magic or rocket science to making delicious dishes packed with nutrition. All it takes is a bit of planning, a tad more time, and a good sense of adventure!

In this book, I have combined everything I have learned about foods, flavors, and nutrition to create mouthwatering dishes that nourish the body and delight the taste buds. I have tested these recipes on some pretty picky eaters—kids, teenagers and adults. Everyone enjoys eating at my table. In fact, they often ask for seconds, or for the recipe!

To his jailors, McKeithen will say only that he is the seventh angel. This ultimately lands him in Maison Blanche, an asylum near Paris where the food is surprisingly good and McKeithen is convinced God is communicating with him via messages on sugar packets.

With the help of his parents, he eventually returns to North Carolina and is admitted to Duke University’s Medical Center. Though the food there is nothing to write home about, he finds himself under the care of a doctor who correctly diagnoses his bipolar disorder and gently guides him back to sanity during late night visits clouded by cigar smoke.

McKeithen’s vivid and often humorous recollections of his journey from the
brink are paired with marginalized facts and figures demonstrating his state of excessive mental activity. His account of his own mental state, as well as observations of fellow patients and caregivers make for a riveting read.

He left the traditional ministry to work with M.O.T.I.O.N (city housing program), and was later recruited by the John Crosland Company, coming on board as the company’s multi-family housing manager. In this capacity,he utilized federal housing programs to build low- and moderate-income housing. He became the company’s president in 1984. After the company was acquired by Centex Real Estate Corporation, Leonard was appointed as its Executive Vice-President, responsible for the company’s southeast region.

After retiring from Centex, Leonard was elected to the Board of Habitat for Humanity International; he served as Chairman of the Board from December, 2001 to December, 2003. Leonard was employed as the Interim CEO of Habitat for Humanity from June, 2004 through October, 2005. Currently, he is a member of the US Council for Habitat for Humanity International.

A Centennial History of
The Mecklenburg County Bar

This centennial history of the Mecklenburg County Bar Association offers a fascinating and well-researched account of the legal profession in Mecklenburg County for the past hundred years, with flashbacks all the way to colonial times. But more than that, it provides, implicitly, a thoroughly intriguing history of the community. If you want to understand why Charlotte-Mecklenburg has been a special place – more progressive, more decent and civil – than many other communities its size, you should read this book.
