Your triangle love letter format has really grown on me! Building each Muse’s identity while crafting the blog? Magic!

Thank you!

I also started “meet the muses a-z” yesterday. We’ll craft the collection into a booklet.

Thalia is covered in errant paint/ink.

Nia is challenged to balance quality and perfection.

Calliope is having a great time watching them work through it. 😂

I can’t help but think of Whitman’s comment about “containing multitudes”. 👍🏻

BUTTON: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time — that should be enough for most purposes.” 😁

I was looking for a “success” quip. Alas, this is more of a “success...?” quip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haha! Nia would not stand for us (intentionally) trying to fool people. So principled and proper and yet we’d go nowhere without her.

Hope you and Deb are having an amazing day!

I’m always curious about your titles? Where do you feel you missed the boat? I have so many metaphors about boats and the sea and never once paused to consider if I may have missed a boat or two in my life. ❤️

Great question!

I was going to write about how all outward signs might indicate a lack of success (missing the boat) with our writing. We’ve been at it in one form or another for just over six years.

And that’s very much okay with me because the internal shifts from thinking “out loud” are priceless. The world looks so much more beautiful and mysterious from my new perspective. 😊

Sometimes what I think I’m going to write about becomes something else… or veers from the title. 😂 I have a new opportunity to keep my picture, title, and text on the same page!

Do you know why we no longer have dinosaurs?

Because they missed the boat silly…

You know, the big one that had a male and female from each species on it? Yeah, that boat. Turns out dinosaurs weren’t very good at time management and they forgot to calendar the departure date…

Imagine two dinosaurs standing on a rock watching a very big boat sailing away with all the other pairs of animals, while looking at each other saying “Oh crap, was that today?” 😂🤣😂
