Hi, I’m Josepha Bolling-Thompson, – first name, pronounced “joe-SEF-uh” – called “Josie” by some. As a native West Virginian, I enjoyed a delightful childhood growing up in a “holler” in coal country but would go on to live in prominent fast-paced cities like D.C. and the Chicago area. Finally, I would be drawn back to a slower, more peaceful life in moving to the unique, very cool, rural area of Galax, VA, a hub of old time Blue Grass music. You can say that I traded the Appalachian Mountains of my home state for the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
