UNEXPECTED UPDATE: “Yesterday afternoon my husband and I were informed that there was an issue with the buyer paperwork that prevented the closing on the sale of our home. As a result, we were unable to move yesterday! In fact, the sale of this house (Albany House) was part of our contingency for purchasing our new home (Thomasville House). All that to say, everything has been shifted to next Friday!
As you can imagine, this has been a trying time, because I will end up helping to load a truck on Thursday, June 15 and sign paperwork for the sale of my house on June 16th in one town (Albany) before driving to the new town (Thomasville) and signing paperwork for the new home. Did I mention that I will need to also unload on the 16th as well?
To make a long story short, these circumstances have forced me to realize I will be unable to offer my BASIC Training seminar June 15-17. This is a first for me to cancel any training I have offered over the years.

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS: Carolyn Gibbens has room for her training seminar on June 12-14 class (yes, this coming Monday). The registration link is here:, https://www.swr-texastrainers.net

I am offering first dibs to my June 15-17 registered attendees to have a reimbursement in order to sign up with Carolyn Jolly Gibbens class or to shift over to my June 22-24 class.
I am disappointed, but hope you will accept my apologies for this inconvenience. Thank you for understanding.”
