  I wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting me to work with FLSE in so many different areas over the years. It is an honor I never take for granted. I am so amazed by your commitment to your communities and your own growth, as you bring your unique gifts to the world.   As we look ahead to 2022, I wanted to share a unique opportunity with you.
