How We Differ From Other Sites

The Stoicess’ Meditation method teaches you to use daily Situations, those unprepared-for disruptions, to keep you connected constantly with God.

Meditation is an ancient technique. My easy-to-learn method, The Stoicess’ Meditation, requires you to use reflection while writing five (5) S-T-O-I-C Storytelling® sentences based on Biblical and stoic principles. This five (5) sentence writing is Your Success Story for sharing with the community as we grow together. It’s mentally invigorating and constantly refreshing. It allows you to achieve the Spirituality you seek. My method uses those “caught off-guard” situations you face to keep you firmly connected to God. Those obstacles become the way to stay focused on God. As a Christian, we must be connected to God every moment of our existence.

Receive the Exam Answers to Life:

Life is the most difficult exam. Ever take an exam where you had the old exams and answers to study from? When it comes to handling stress and anxiety, I have both for you. The Stoicess’ Helpline receives continual requests for help with stressful situations. Each day, I choose a situation for sharing with our community. Members respond with a “T-O-I-C” writing which allows them to infuse scripture into their minds. SO YOU HAVE THE EXAM AND MANY ANSWERS (provided in a quick-read format) to help you.

You engage:

Puzzle games, writings, and podcasts keep you focused and the “Beat the Professor” Challenge makes you think deeply.

You smile:

We have fun. For example, each week you can join others as we showcase our Stomaytes™ – our beloved companion animals — as they appear to teach us the Stoic virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. They’re dear to us and are an essential part of our relationships (Mayte means “lovable”). “Stomayte Storytelling” in the Stoic Storytelling fashion is used to tell the stories of our Stomaytes to all.

Hi Everyone,

I’m Lori Stith, The Stoicess® and CEO of Stoic Matchmaker, LLC.

Welcome to StoicMatchmaker.com.

We are an eLearning site teaching THE STOICESS’ MEDITATION. Our community constantly trains to develop the mindset and skills to live a “good life” well-pleasing to God.

Your development in gaining the correct perspective on how to deal with a boss, friend, co-worker, or loved one is paramount to your success.

I want You to Succeed!

(THE STOICESS® = Female Christian philosopher who teaches self-control through Bible wisdom and the Stoic virtues)

Benefits Of Our Advance Training Program

What games are you using for Advanced Training?

  • Word search puzzles or sentence scramble are used to communicate Apostle Paul’s teachings and the Stoic virtues.
  • An example is our weekly ‘Behavior-Response’ series.
  • The series addresses a behavior that needs overcoming along with a suggested response.
  • Another example is our ‘Leadership with Guiding Principles’ series where we integrate leadership with Guiding principles– Christianity or the four stoic virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. The series is a captivating Empowerment approach I must say.

What Writings are you using for Advanced Training?

  • The Stoicess’ Helpline, a daily series, gives a “situation” that a colleague needs our help in addressing. Everyone is encouraged to respond with a “T-O-I-C” writing.
  • Teaching Quote Weekly Challenge, a weekly series, gives a “teaching quote” and members ponder and write the “S-O-I-C” about how the “picture plus teaching quote” applies to their life experience.
  • Leadership with Guiding Principles Weekly Challenge, a weekly series that gives 2 quotes for the “teaching” and members are asked to BLEND the 2 quotes together to address the “S” “O” “I” “C” as it applies to their life experience.
  • Behavior-Response Weekly Challenge, another weekly series that gives the “S-T” and asks members to address the “O” “I” “C” based on the Situation (behavior) and Teaching given.

“Beat the Professor” Challenge

Another weekly event is the “Beat the Professor” challenge. Did you ever want to challenge Professors in school knowing you were smarter than them? I know I did! Well, now you have that chance.

And wow do I have a humdinger Professor for you! It’s Steve Blackwell, our Chief Operations Officer of Stoic Matchmaker, LLC.

Our Professor is a 4.0 Ph.D.; I had Steve place his Ph.D. transcript on his homepage to prove to us he’s that smart. So head over to Steve_Bl once registered on the website and look at his “files”, and you’ll see his transcript. You might also note that he completed his entire program (including the oral defense and dissertation) in 3 years. He started in January 1995 and finished in January 1998 — the first in the Department’s history at Ole Miss to accomplish such a feat.

Steve is also an attorney and a pharmacist. A couple of his earthly accolades include selection as a 1998 Presidential Management Intern for the federal government and recipient of the 2017 Alumnus of the Year award from the University of Mississippi, Department of Pharmacy Administration.

At the age of 12, Steve began preaching following completion of the Youth Ministry Program at the Fairfield Church of Christ in Centerville, TN.  He preached throughout the county at congregations until entering college when he was 18 years old. He attended David Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, for his undergraduate training.

How Does the Game Work?

In the “Beat The Professor” Challenge, interested members will join the team of one of our certified experts. The expert will lead the team in developing a 5 (five) sentence S-T-O-I-C writing and “Mindset Behind the Storytelling” for competing against The Professor. The Expert Teams are listed on the Community Groups. The Professor will be working on his own. This is a way for you to learn THE STOICESS’ MEDITATION.

I’ll email a situation (the “S” of S-T-O-I-C) by Thursday of each week to members, experts, and The Professor so everyone can start working on the best response.

What type of situation will you address?

These will be real-life situations from the “Stoicess’ Helpline. They won’t be easy, but we can do it!

Here’s a couple of examples:

  • A coworker approached me with a situation in an aggressive manner.
  • Why do l feel like the person I have feelings for deserves a better person than me?
  • Worried if I am fired, or choose to leave my job, can I survive?
  • Why is it that when you don’t like someone, they’re the one who wants you, but the one you want, doesn’t even like you?

Will the Expert Teams have meetings?

Yes. The Stoicess will set up a time for meeting with the respective TEAM. The meetings will occur via ZOOM. The meetings occur on Sunday afternoon.

When does the ‘Beat The Professor’ Challenge occur?

The Challenge occurs each Tuesday evening. The meetings will occur via ZOOM.

An Expert’s Team will present their writing and storytelling. The Professor will present his writing and storytelling. The experts will give their opinion on the presentations and then all members present will vote to decide who is the winner — the writing and storytelling that best address the situation.

So my question to you IS: ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 4.0 Ph.D. Professor? I say ABSOLUTELY! Together, we can “Beat The Professor”.

...And we can do it every week!

What are My Success Stories?

It’s Your 5 (five) sentence S-T-O-I-C Storytelling® — it’s quick & easy to learn and helps you to recall quickly what to do when facing a stressful situation. It teaches you how to handle difficult life situations while remaining in control. Real-World problems are used to help you learn through practical application.

What’s the secret to these 5 (five) sentences?

Engagement, Engagement, Engagement.

You’ll use these 5 (five) sentences to tell the team how you applied a stoic or Bible saying to a situation you faced and overcame.

You’ll put into effect Apostle Paul’s teachings and the Stoic virtues in your life by Reminiscing about Your Achievements — how you overcame a stressful situation whether with a boss, friend, co-worker, or loved one.

Each time YOU face a problem and overcome, and share YOUR Success Story with Your community on our website, you become Stronger. This is a way for you to practice THE STOICESS’ MEDITATION.

Only 5 sentences?

You’ll learn how to write 5 sentences that have the Most Impact on Your Life.

How often should I write my 5-sentence Success Story?

One Success Story each DAY at a minimum, to gain maximum results, and share your Success Story with our community.

Why should I share my Success Stories with Our community?

To become what you write; it is a Testament To Your Actions. The process helps you to stop pretending to be someone you’re not. Instead, You Become That Person. As Socrates commented, “Be as you wish to seem”.

Are you going to help me with this?

To help you, I’ll place a picture each week on each of the Community Groups (trust, belonging, happiness, SAFE, & values). You can look at the pictures and:

  • Select the Community Group picture that reminds you of a Stoic virtue you applied this week to an event in your life
  • Write Your 5 sentences in that Community Group about your accomplishment for sharing what you learned with our Community.
  • You’ll also receive the daily Stoicess’ Helpline request where you (along with our community) can respond to a colleague’s situation with a “T-O-I-C” writing.

As you know, the Greats wrote about what they learned. Reminiscing & Sharing Your Accomplishments is Exceedingly Powerful. Both You and Your colleagues grow stronger…. we grow as a Community.

My Training Program teaches you THE STOICESS’ MEDITATION so you can: REMAIN CALM, In a Sea of Craziness and BE A FORTRESS to Overcome Stress, Anxiety and Fear.

SHOWCASING OUR STOMAYTE™ (Paying Members Only)

Who’s the real Stoic in our households? Is it us or our lovable companions?

Whether a cat, dog, bird, guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, ferret (you name your beloved) have you ever watched them in amazement wondering if they’re ultimately more stoic than us humans?

I have and I’m apparently not the only one.

Visit our Community Group titled “SHOWCASING OUR STOMAYTES”. It’s a place where we share stories and links to pics & videos of our beloved animals while THEY appear to practice the Stoic virtues. We could probably learn a thing or two from them.

For example, the member will promise that (a) they solely produced the written product on their own and that the written product(s) are suitable for publication in the general public for all ages. We will promise to pay the member for purchasing the written product(s). The member will be selling their written product(s) to us. Thus, the contract will be considered making a promise and being the beneficiary of a promise for each party.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night...”
JOSHUA 1:8
We view meditation as a spiritual concept because it is focused on God. There are many different types of meditation, even some that don’t include any spiritual components. However, for those seeking to have their minds renewed through the Bible, it is an essential practice.
Meditation helps you grow in your walk with God because you’re pondering what the Bible says about certain situations you read about or encounter. Meditating on how Scripture deals with these can help you gain perspective and enlightenment. Through consistent practice, you will be changed into a person who has been shaped by the Bible.
