Let me tell you about a Swedish woman named Lena Paulsson, who knows all about what’s possible in the face of impossibility. She lost her wedding ring while working in the kitchen in 1995. Sixteen years later, the ring was found in her vegetable garden wrapped around the base of a freshly-harvested carrot. And if you Google “lost wedding ring stories” there are several more just like that one. There’s another remarkable tale that takes place in the UK where Brenda Caunter was missing her wedding band for 41 years before a local treasure hunter found it in her garden where she originally lost it.

The end of the year means that I’m wrapping up my financial records, making plans to pay taxes, get new health insurance, and make any last-minute tax deductible purchases that need to be made.

As we wrap up this calendar year, it’s a great time to review and reflect. If you’re a long time listener to this podcast then you know that I like to make lists, set goals, keep track of accomplishments, and make periodic checks of how things are going in my life.
