Golden Retriever Addie spies the trio and Henny from a distance. The fourleg plants her booty on asphalt and refuses to budge. (She and Henny are cut from similar cloth?) “Gooooooood mooooor-ning!” Thalia sings from a distance. As the muses close the distance, Nia admires Addie’s posture and comments to the pooch’s
Thank goodness I found my Tiger Balm ointment! Treatment for the neck injury that resulted from the switch from Scooby-Doo to George Orwell!!

I often think of Leonardo Da Vinci’s advice to walk away from our work. “Go to that quaint coffee shop across the street!

I smiled at the thought of a creator stopping for a moment of creativity, reflecting the advise of David Marlow. Is that something you employ? Like walking into your studio, perhaps pausing in the doorway, as your eye notes your tools of creation, while your mind assembles an idea, a rough draft of sorts that inspires you? 🤷🏽 or are you more likely to acquire an idea on the Henny walk or during another event?

Here at 3mm we like to strum our chords with a wide variety of instruments in an attempt to satisfy divergent muse interests. Also we feel there is value in attracting a diverse audience comprised of members who appreciate eclectic combinations like Scooby-Doo with George Orwell.
Most ideas are procured or inspired by witnessing or experiencing… just about anything. Ain’t that grand?!

Even in the midst of these hectic days of business to be done, there are opportunities for moments of creativity and connection.
Opportunities to savor the moments we have even to the last."
