As I sit here, nestled and warm, within my studio walls…I peer out onto several feet of freshly fallen snow. And no matter how much angst it has caused…one has to recognize the beauty it inheritantly possesses. Why then, can I not look past what I see in the mirror today? Sunken cheeks, dark circles, pallid skin. I sigh… It is a resolute sigh, but not one of defeat. For I will rise beyond this moment… I will find that part of me which is not an outward beauty but that which lies encapsulated in my spirit.
So, for this Sunday, I shall cover the mirrors with muslin…Take out my pens…and draw The Muse my beloved sees…(after I turn back all the clocks and …and steal his glasses).
May each you find a Sunday filled with blessings and inspiration!
Love, The Muse

Trick mirrors, mind games & possibly a few meds(lol) have caused you to look at yourself with distorted eyes, on this day. Let me help you take another look…
A kinder & more gentle spirit, I have not met & You have a sense of humor that causes me to belly laugh till the tears flow.
Encouragement, inspiration & enlightenment through your love of art, design, the written word & the human spirit are your passion. With attributes, such as these, resonating deep within your soul, how is it possible that true beauty could not be radiating outwardly? Let me answer that for you….It is NOT possible!!
I aspire to be as beautiful as you, my Sis, inwardly & outwardly…….now put on those glasses you stole from your beloved, remove that muslin from those mirrors & have another look!!
Pretty is as Pretty does…..Therefore, You, my dear, are the fairest in the land!
Love you, so!! xo
Dear Muse, I love your sister’s beautiful comment. I agree with her description of your personality.

Dan, glad you are back…i have missed your insight…and your work!
You have touched the spirit of my soul with not only your beauty but your caring so much about others.
My words will never be as eloquent, and I can not spell worth a darn.
But I can say it in my own words.
You are a treasure to so many of us!
Thank you for being you!!!
