Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
This is my mantra for life. I am a stoic at heart. And stoicism preaches clear identification of the factors you can control in your life vs. the ones you can’t. When you break down every life event into factors, you always come with a few that are within your control. What we need to do is focus exclusively on these and leave the rest. Thanks for the inspiration, Lori 🙂
