When the Mountains Lost Two of Their Voices
There are losses that belong to a family, losses that belong to a town, and then there are losses that seem to reach across an entire world. This week has brought me two of those losses. First came Dolly Parton, whose death on August 25 broke my heart in a way I had trouble putting into words. Then, yesterday, came the news that Wendell Berry had died at his home in Kentucky at the age of ninety-two. I sat with that news this morning and felt something I had already been carrying grow heavier. The Appalachian Mountains had lost two voices that had spoken to generations of us, and for me, those voices had been part of my life since childhood.

Passive income is getting paid over and over for something you've already done or created, without having to redo that thing.

Encouragement and Did I Really See This?
Introduction Every so often, stories get a lot of attention on my blog Seven Days In. The "Did I Really See This?" was getting a lot, and because of the mention of the song "Happy", I linked the post that started that off and included my own take on the song as well. It is my favourite Rolling Stones song.
