Often the pain of a loss can blind and paralyze you. Growth from losses are the seeds from which we cultivate our future. In this micro-memoir, you will read 30 brief stories that embody the LORAG Loss-To-Growth technique and insights on how to realistically breakdown the barriers that render you hopeless when you have suffered a personal, emotional, physical, medical, financial, judicial or professional loss. The more you practice leveraging the five dimensions of the LORAG cycle, the easier it will become to embrace a new perspective so that you are open to what lies beyond.

Digital Strategy Considerations for U.S. Businesses
Does your business understand the cross-border ecommerce mechanics and strategies to capitalize on this growth? The business community is learning from the lessons of the retail industry and transitioning to a business model that is increasingly utilizing cross-border eCommerce sales channels.
We sometimes hear from clients, "I'm a manufacturer, we do not sell products via our website." Statistics shown 90% of these buyers are online researching for a business transaction, and these buyers will spend less than a minute searching your website before deciding to leave or stay. Having a website that is not optimized to current accepted standards is a red flag for most buyers, especially those in overseas markets. Like it or not, chances are your company is selling internationally (i.e. Canada).

We as scientists, students, teachers, doctors, engineers, and concerned citizens have chosen to March for
Science to bring attention to important issues that we see as threatening the safety of our fellow citizens,
our state, our national character, and the endeavor of scientific exploration.
We march so that scientific evidence will be
taken seriously. We march because our friends and colleagues are being targeted unjustly. We march
because we are concerned about the next generation. We hope you will join us on
April 14. And we hope
you will join us afterwards, for all the work that needs to be done
