Howdy,
I think we can all agree that 2021 has been a wild ride. It's common that newsletters and blogs might take a moment to reflect on it in detail. This might include, some lists what I've read, or maybe my top favorite projects. I'm not sure I can do that, I've been so busy moving forward!
The thing is, just the other day it occurred to me why something like a top 10 list can be helpful. True to form, I discovered this while suggesting it as a sort of mood-enhancement activity for someone else. You see, someone close was faced with what could be a long day. In wishing them well I blurted out "Think of a top 10 list - your top 10 whatever" hoping it may inspire a focus on some feel-good things rather than the stresses of the day 💡
That's when I thought - is that why people do that? We're all faced with shorter days, colder nights and that sudden realization the year is ending sooner than we planned. In that light (or lack there of), making a list of things to feel good about seems essential.
I'll spare you from having to read that here; there's a blog post for that. In the meantime let me say one important thing that's been on my mind. I miss you . . .
There are some who received this MUSEletter that maintain regular contact, I love that; it's essential food for an artist's soul. There are others who I'm just getting to know and the chance to make new connections is precious. But there's also a bunch of people with-whom I haven't spent as much time as I once did. In some cases it's the years, sometimes it's the distance, but when I started this MUSEletter (back in March) there was a glorious wave of re-connections, e-mail updates that lead to video calls (the new norm for 2021). That's since dropped off a bit, understandable, the year's ending and we're all busy. But if you've the mind for it and are thinking "when was the last time I did it" then hit the reply button and let me know what you've been up to. Or better yet, give me your Top 10 Whatever for 2021!
