I also participated in Quinn’s muse swap.
I traded in my goof-off muse who kept convincing me to sleep late and go to the Farmer’s Market to buy her olive tapenade. I got Kate’s muse, Olivia, who would only let her think and not even talk to friends! What kind of muse is that for a collaborator?
Olivia was assigned to me on a day when I was having lunch with my friend Ginny Kravitz. Ginny is a great coach and I wanted to learn some new ways to focus on my most important priorities. Olivia was very impressed by the power of our conversation and is re-thinking her attitude about talking with friends to get fresh perspectives.
Plus, Olivia is going to take Ginny’s What is necessary? — What is possible? worksheet home to Kate. This is a great tool for planning realistically. Olivia got the hang of this very quickly and just kept asking me “Are you sure that belongs in the necessary bubble?”
"We just can't stay up any longer!" Shackleton
Olivia insisted I get up early each day so that I could make the most of mornings – my best time of day. On our last night together, she finally convinced me to get to bed early! She knew it was just a matter of time.
Collaboration Pays Off 
What a match made in heaven–if heaven is a Farmer’s Market! It sounds like Olivia and you had a wonderful time together, even if a form was involved. And Shakelton has grown up to be such a handsome cat!
Thanks Quinn for coming up with this fun and inspiring activity. Debbie
