Personal Opinions:

This past week has been challenging! Due to many adjustments. For example we worked with two new lead artists, Mr. and Ms. Brown (no relation) while our original lead artist, Dan Vaughn stepped out. We attended the studio and recorded our audio C-D. It was a long week but also a truth growth and learning experience for all. Unbelievable, eight weeks went by so fast! Looking forward much to putting final touches to the book this week; as well as preparing for our show on the 21st.
