🥐 goodbye 2022 🥐
I've decidedly not compiled any end of year gift guide type of thing as you all know what to do with your money. Instead I want to gift you a little something: a map of special places from one of my beloved trips this year: Asheville. There's no reason I'd ever live there and it's not close to the ocean (i kind of assess each vacation as possible places for me to land) but it's very easy living that I want to revisit a lot in my life.
I just want to also thank you for reading and staying committed to this push projects journey. The newsletter was born out of a way to keep people in the know of all my many events and projects (Cinema 16 goers you know who you are) but really blossomed after having kids and experiencing a pandemic. The newsletter became this intimate gateway for sharing what I'm reading, listening to, watching, craving...like a little studio visit conversation while simultaneously asking the same from folks in my community.
In 2022 I have had the privilege of interviewing 10 people which you can revisit on the archive here. Next year I will expand my questions to include a little more about my guests. Is there anything you're burning to know about?
Speaking of questions, you may have noticed that each interviewee spotlights a flower and a bread. This is an ongoing investigation called bread and roses based off the old poem and political slogan that demands everyone get access fair living conditions and the dignity of beauty.
Of course if you can spread the news about this newsletter and encourage someone to sign up- i don't have a lead magnet, i'm not being sponsored, it's may gateway to you all close and far.
So in the meantime, enjoy this map, enjoy your loved ones, soak up in all the joy and even the stress of this time because we are alive which is pretty dang special.
