Waking up to a day without lists or reminders. We've spent a lot of days like that and. yet, there have been limits. As we move back into the world in the coming months let's not forget the joy and gift of allowing our inner child to roam free.

The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly has lessons for us all, especially as we shed one "skin" to move into our new one as the world opens up.

Come with Jan to encounter a man who, just when he thought life was over, found a way to teach others about wondrous beginnings.

Jan shares how his life intersected twice with the Nobel Peace Prize Recipient/noted author, and the lesson Wiesel taught that can inspire each of us to live life as it could be.

Jan's visit to Scotland and a friend's interaction on Skid Row both reveal the affirmation of sometimes giving life and people a second chance.
