That made me stop and take notice. Then the list of "let go"s laid it all out in black and white. Count me as one who really needed to read this. Thank you. Merry Christmas Elaine and Anne! Here's looking forward to many more coffee chats in the new year. Your line jumped out at me: I finally recognize that I’m more invested in the outcome than the person who actually should be.
