I finally did it! One year and nine months from the day I set my goal. For those who are new to my story, here's what it was all about...

It took us an hour and a half to get through the 35 minute episode due to the rich dialog surrounding the "gray areas" of consent. With a 22 year old son and 20 year old daughter, I was very interested in their thoughts about this topic.
