I started the wonderful "Midnight Muse" class after it was suggested by my friend and mentor, Dr. Sue Boardman. I was fortunate enough to be able to take the journey with Sue in her studio. At the step of inviting my muse to show herself, I had a feeling that she was telling me that I was strong and had strength to take care of me (which as an Enneagram "6", I fear I am not enough). That reminded me of a favorite Bible verse, Isaiah 12:2, "The Lord is my strength and my song". In Italian, the word for "song" is "aria". In Hebrew, the word "aria" means "lioness of God". Thus, Aria, my wonderful Midnight Muse totally embodies the verse from Isaiah.
