About

About The Sisters All Nine is all about collaborating with the muses to inspire, create, and illuminate. The “nine” of All Nine is a reference to the nine sister muses of Greek mythology. These inspirational sisters represent multiple domains of creativity and intelligence, from epic poetry to science. For any vision to move from the inside of one person’s eyelids to the physical world where it can make a positive impact, it takes a collaborative effort across multiple disciplines and an openness to many sources of inspiration. Hence, all nine. “Like” us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/allninemuses About Kelly Image courtesy CloudNinePortraits.com Kelly Belmonte, founder and Chief Muse of All Nine, is a  poet, blogger, and management consultant with expertise in nonprofit organizational development. Kelly has been writing poetry since her teens and blogging for well over a decade.
