    This is the last episode of Feelin Weird! Welcome to the celebration of LIFE for this podcast.  Gaby, Dagenson, Goose, Producer Kye and I all pay our respects to the podcast--along with MANY other listeners and past guests.  We send the podcast off into the abyss wrapped in LOVE. My offering to you: listen to this intentionally.  Sit or lay down and close your eyes--imagine that you are at the funeral with all of us.  Let this be an opportunity to grieve and celebrate something you loved, cared about, and are losing.
