This is why people don't start
We did video again #sorrynotsorry; Joy Ride vol 29
We’re back with your second installment of Joy Ride: The Video Edition. This week we discuss the real reason why people don’t start their projects. And kick off our riff with an impromptu dramatic reading of Ann Patchett’s The Getaway Car.
It involves murder. And butterflies. 🦋
Check it out and let’s discuss.
This week on The Road 🛣️

Loved the dramatic reading...
That poor butterfly, though. LOL!
Yes - ideas are beautiful.
Ideas executed can sometimes end up like... Frankenstein.
Although I learned recently- Frankenstein was the name of the creator, not the creation!
But I digress.
Sometimes we're not the ones to press our dreams.
Sometimes we do think our baby is beautiful.
it's the world that tells us the baby is ugly... LOL!
butterfly - meet S.U.V.
