What a saga! I forgot to mention yesterday that in my reading of Ancient Greek mythology yesterday, “Calliope” was often regarded as the very best. A good singing voice, always carrying a slate for promptly recording important thoughts and moments, and a respected writer.
Two Calliopes is a crowd. The total business of Muse history merits at least a term paper. Allowing decisions based on information? Not all that “artly” I suppose. 😔
A note from LoveLetterist:
It came to my attention yesterday (thanks Gary) that muses might be considered "girly/feminine/for women".
Uh-uhhh.
no. No. NO!
Muses are the voices in our heads who guide the thinking, being, and doing of our days.
If we want to be more -- to do more,
we need to befriend them,
to cut down their donut consumption,
to hold them to a higher expectation.
We are here to live.
Start teaching them to choose courage over comfort.
Yesterday's invitation received three responses -- thank you Gary, Julie and Sharon.
I invite you to be the 4th Muse.
What is your muse's name?
(It can be anything. Anything! Bob, Susie, Joe, Connecticator, Exploratora, Little Boy/Girl Me...)
Are you creative?
(No is not an acceptable answer.)
Do you have the courage to share your muse's name in comments?
Let's do this!
Oh Yes, Aunt Phoebe we have finally established a 'truce.'
Oh my!
I made a mistake and failed to recognize your response from yesterday Julie/Euterpe.
My apologies. 🤦🏻♀️
I am so glad you and Aunt Phoebe have sorted out your relationship. :)
No worries at Gail. :) Thank you for this post today and bringing it to the light.
Thank you for being you… and understanding. 😊
Of course. Hugs to you!
Is "Colin" invited to play?
Will Colin flourish in a culture of personal responsibility, respect, and curiosity? Will he choose to learn?
What do you mean by "flourish"?
Why didn’t I ask you that question when you gifted the word flourish to me?! 🤭

Trying not to overthink it. 🤭
Well, that is my specialty! 😁
