Sherrey … Thanks for those kind words. I’ve been a bit of a risk-taker since I was a kid (I get bored easily and am always in search of something new), but I had a lot of support along the way.

Mary, are you sure we’re not the same person? Although I have no knowledge of the stock market that you made a career of prior to your escaping the corporate world.

All four stories were fabulous and I wanted to vote for each one. IMO, anyone who shares a story is a winner, and congratulations to Mary for coming out ahead on this round.
Sonia, the stories people are submitting continue to fascinate me and remain of consistently high quality. Thanks for carrying on with this.
