We are really excited about that. But before we jump in, we always have a few announcements to make.

So I'll make them. We have an upcoming workshop in Fort Collins, Colorado, May 4th and 5th. Those workshops are dedicated to healthy marriages, healthy relationships, communicating with believing family and friends, positive mental health, raising children.

They're very highly rated and people love them. We've got a great venue in Fort Collins. So if anyone wants to come, please register at MormonTransitions.org slash events.

In addition, we have an upcoming, our next upcoming retreat is June 23rd through 25th. You can register again at MormonTransitions.org slash events that one again will be in the Salt Lake area.
