Thanks for the PERMISSION!

Melissa does a great job of busting through so many of the myths that have stopped me in my tracks every time I sit down to write a new song or “indulge” myself in some creative activity.
I know too well how grumpy and harsh I get when I’m not creating and how joyful I feel when I am. But even so, it’s been a challenge to see it as ok and necessary, let alone ESSENTIAL.
And add to that the procrastination from fear and it’s easy to avoid creativity altogether.
So thanks for this episode 001 Melissa. I’m off to write.

Breaking More Than Creative Barriers

As a long time listener, and fellow "passion pluralite", I have nothing but good things to say about Melissa. Even more so, I applaude Ms. Dinwiddie for her committment to the arts, and to understanding her many hidden audiences. For example, I myself have multiple disabilities, and am often encouraged by Melissa's candour, wit, honesty, and mostly, practice of self compassion. Her first commandment of creative practice: "tiny but daily" has been a theraputic life saver for me and, I am sure, countless others. So hop on board, hear about her daily artistic practice, struggles, successes, and well-earned life lessons. They will be sure to inspire you for many years to come.
