SHOW INTRODUCTION:
Today I’ll be talking with Barbara Bradley Hagerty, award winning journalist, 20 year correspondent for NPR, and the New York Times best-selling author of Fingerprints of God: What Science Is Learning About the Brain and Spiritual Experience
So, today we’ll talk about a Life Reimagined, about shifting your life, whether you’re middle-age, golden age, or even just getting started from version 1.0 to 2.0, or in my case 3.0 and above!
That, plus we’ll talk about Stampede the Pokey white pony, Fareed Zakaria, GPS, hookups, rain and RV’s, and what quantum mechanics and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle has to do with mom, the bunny hop criterium, who has the social security #111-11-1111 and what the hee-hee, haa-haa, and hoo-hoo center has to do with anything.
