Hi,It has been an honor and great adventure to spend time with this vocal diary and post it vulnerably for the world to hear. It feels like it is time for me though to process through other creative outlets. This outlet has been a huge blessing and I hope it was somewhat inspirational to you as it was to me. The next episode will include three more topics and some more heartfelt thoughts. I will not say it is the final as I am unsure at the moment, though I will no longer post on a weekly basis
