Remember that creativity matters - in whatever form it takes for you. That's the guiding premise of the CMP - Creativity Matters. The CMP is a podcast dedicated to nurturing and nourishing the creative process, to recognizing the need for making space for our creative selves, and to finding time... in the midst of busy lives. The CMP reflects the ins and outs of one person's creative journey in hopes that you will find footholds of similarity and inspiration to help you map, chart, and embrace your own journey. Frequent topics of discussion include: sketching, drawing, art journaling, bullet journaling, collage, index cards, book reviews, recordkeeping, data, documentation, and writing. Remember that creativity matters - in whatever form it takes for you.

Episode 502: Crow, Dove, Poet
This episode is me sitting back down at a microphone, in the most makeshift way possible, and seeing how it feels to do a voiceover after a long break.
