Thanks for this one!

I love sourdough starter as a metaphor for creativity. I often feel like I don’t “bake” enough. Maybe I just need to make sure I nourish my “starter” so it’s ready when I am.

Yes! Being kind to ourselves and not rushing the process…easier said than done sometimes though, eh?!
