“Gratification comes in the doing not in the results.”
~James Dean
Here’s a thought... One reply means others are coming... Perhaps the one “early” replier might be leveraged to inspire others to embrace their inner procrastinator?
And, remember, life is busy!
Did your packets have a “deadline?”
If not, perhaps, then, this is an opportunity to create just a simple little reminder note as a second point of connection to those you’re excited about receiving replies from.
I think I would personally shamelessly use the muses and explain that they don’t have the same level of patience that you do and they can’t wait to get on with their project...😉
Sounds like a variation of REO Speed Wagon’s “Hold on loosely, but don’t let go. ‘Cause if you cling too tightly, you’re gonna lose control.” 🤔 Sort of...

Two weeks already? Wow. Okay, just a reminder (fellow 3mm followers, please chime in) it is okay to do follow-ups. Most people don’t decide to not respond, they just decide to not respond YET. Following up gets those folks moving a little faster. Submerge your Midwesterner upbringing and get your pushy East Coast persona up front. You got this, Gail!
The follow-up is a little tricky. I do not have personal contact information and was politely informed that MyChart is for medical questions/responses only. I have an idea... and will allow it to percolate. 😉

Just thinking out loud... 😊🤔😊
Did the packets have a deadline? That is a good question to ask.
Nope... no deadline.
Maybe responses will start trickling in after the book has been published. 😂
Thanks Bobby!
Considering my options... 🤔
“Everything I let go of seems to have my fingernail scratches all over it!”
I’ve heard it said, “Our responsibility is to do the needed work. Then turn the outcome over to the Universe/Spirit/God.”
Tom Petty sang, “The waiting is the hardest part.”
From anonymous philosophers to rock stars, their wisdom doesn’t prevent me from appreciating The Muses’ impatience.
Living out loud takes courage and honesty. Commodities abundant in the studio... and in the occupants’ hearts. 🤗
Oh! You reminded me of that phrase about... If you love something, let it go. If it comes back... Or, if it doesn't come back. 🤷🏻♀️
Let us see what happens. All of life is an experiment!

Ah! A song from my youth. You are a multi-generational jukebox! 🎺
Can’t you see Tal rockin’ out to that song!
vividly!

I love today's t-shirt!

YES Jack! 🙌🏼
