  • Page 24: Advertisements; Quotation: "There's a trick to the "graceful exit." It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over - and let it go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives." - Ellen Goodman, Pulitzer Prize Winning Syndicated Columnist for the Boston Globe
