Turtles win the race in my opinion, so I’m a happy turtle. There it is! My power animal! You nailed it! Slow and steady wins the race…da da dum de dum…that’s my theme song.

Thank you, Michelle! you welcomed me with opened arms on MuddyUm! and I hit new records — for me! not by intention, just by following a thought that said, hey I think I might like to try writing satire. straight up, no chaser. Wow! it was fun and a welcome break from the heavier deeper pieces. never imagined it could out clap them! so, you just never, never know.

So every day is a new day to try new things…and yes, i do notice what worked well, and try to do more of that. but it’s gonna be new and different. I am blessed not to need money from this and I know lots of folks who do. luckily there is space here for all approaches.

I join you in wishing we don’t make others wrong just because their needs or approaches are different. Yes, we can learn from others. and every post is it’s own new universe. forms perhaps, formulas, no.

I love that this is a community where we meet and get to know and support each other. That has made a world of difference and gives it meaning. if I can make a new friends through tears or laughter-this is huge. and different from my experiences on other social media. So I am not going anywhere. I am hooked! thanks again for being here for me, and so welcoming!
