“Another turn of the wheel,” a friend recently noted as we discussed loss and love and the brilliance of a red fall leaf. Life presents reasons to feel grief and gratitude over and over. And so we keep taking care and trusting the cycles.
Wisdom of Small Joys
As usual, adrienne maree brown has gifts for us, this time in the form of a conversation with Ross Gay, hosted by Allied Media, about the “Wisdom of Small Joys.” Drink up:

Acornocopia
It’s the time of year when the Asheville Nuttery is buying nuts! Click here for details, and for a link to their online store. As the website explains:
“Asheville Nuttery is a cooperatively run nut processing facility in Asheville, NC. Our nuts are supplied by nut gatherers from around the southern Appalachians who bring in the harvest of black walnuts, hickories, acorns, hazelnuts, and more in exchange for products or cash.
We’re part of the Acornucopia Project ‘nutwork’, which envisions community nut processors sprouting up throughout our region that, like the grain mills of the past, can provide a means for local food sovereignty and resilience. Follow on Instagram @acornucopiaproject
Asheville Nuttery is also closely partnered with the Nutty Buddy Collective, which is working to improve our foodshed for generations with fruit and nut groves held under long-term lease agreements.”
Love it!
