“How —” Nia considers today’s painting, “does one suspend a snowman from a branch?”
“Duhhhh-noooo.” Thalia shares the photo that stirred her. “But someone dihhhhd!”
“Next level effort…” Calliope smiles at a chickadee perched on the snowman’s arm, “is how we live our way into… bigger and better.”
Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.
~Mahatma Gandhi
The results you achieve will be in direct proportion to the effort you apply.

A note from LoveLetterist:
Yesterday Jay Armstrong and I interviewed, Ed Brenegar, our first guest of the One Line, One Love podcast.
As part of the conversation, Ed shares the freedom his grandmother gave him -- to live a rich and ever-evolving life -- through something she said to him when he was young.
The episode will be released tomorrow.

Good morning LoveLetterist! Dandy drawing that one. I like the delicacy of the details you selected. The chickadee? On your snowperson outside the studio’s windows?
The song you chose seems to mirror your philosophy of, well, about everything. The video of Miss Bedenfield walking toward the elevator made me blush. A little. ☺️
Side note: I thought of the song, “Frosty The Snowman,” expecting simple childhood lyrics. No! When Frosty invited the kids to accompany him on a run into town, he just blew off the cop who shouted “STOP.” Perhaps demonstrating “Nobody Can Feel It But Me?”
I have a sense Nią and Tal are struggling to keep up with your velocity? No harm I suppose as everyone is striving to be on their “A” game.
Thanks for both quotes as well. Sadly, Ghandi’s full effort brought about his death. Satiagraha against the ruling class often doesn’t sit well with the “rulers.”
