When Russia launched its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the world saw a nation stand up with extraordinary courage to defend its sovereignty and democracy.

The key choices we make in this life

Some of the key choices that we get to make in this life are the things we prioritize, both with our finances and with our energy and efforts.
