Episode 417 of the CMP, a Creativity Matters Podcast — the value of a creative habit and the normalcy it can provide.

In this episode of the CMP,  a long and challenging week that culminated in a Saturday morning that echoes many other such days before. And after that….. I recorded a podcast. And I drew. And then I drew with friends — at least online I had a way (and the flexibility) to tap into a few moments of normalcy with others.

The discussion in this show centers around the ways in which your creative habits can be incredibly powerful for self-care, for balancing, and for helping your move forward in each day, no matter what the day holds.

The drawing I started while recording this show was this inspiration pick from Sktchy.
