What did you do today? Be on notice…your muse is watching. Have you ever gotten up, made your coffee, grabbed your remote, slouched on your couch, thought of your projects, made your quick breakfast, sat on your couch, drank more of your coffee…?

How do I know this? Mine watches me. As I have one more cup of coffee and flip on one more channel, my muse is watching, waiting, getting impatient and ready to pounce.
