But before we get to that, I would like to talk a little bit about some girl talk. Did you hear the new intro music for the podcast?<br> <br> Charissa Talbot: Right? How amazing is that?<br> <br> Cassy Joy: Isn’t it so stinking cute?<br> <br> Charissa Talbot: It’s very Texas, which is fitting.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: {laughs} Texas/maybe one day Nashville.<br> <br> Charissa Talbot: Right.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: If you're curious, that lovely harmonica ditty, I have to give credit to my sister, Kimberly Dunn, and if you liked it, you can find her on iTunes and Spotify and all the music outlets. She’s great. She’s got some awesome tunes out there, and that ditty is from one of her songs called Common as the Rain. Anyways, wanted to give a shout out to Kimberly; thanks for providing us with some music!<br> <br> Charissa Talbot: Thank you Kimberly, we love you!<br> <br> Cassy Joy: So next up, I wanted to quickly touch on this. I wanted to give a shout out to the May group for my Fed and Fit project. As per the usual, these people are totally blowing me away. The nature of this project, the self study, is that it takes on a life of its own, when you really jump into the material, and you start really digging into the journaling process, people come up with their own realizations, and that’s the purpose of it. We’re on day, we’re in our first week I guess of the project, and folks are already having these amazing revelations, and it’s just blowing me away.
