This is the last episode of the Living Life with Lynda show that aired on WLOB in Portland, Maine.  Lynda and her friend, Catherine Wilson, of On Purpose Wellbeing Center, share the BIG changes they both are going through.  Lynda has decided to stop airing her show on WLOB for a variety of reasons and Catherine is closing her center at the end of the year.  So, together they talk about how being open to change can lead to amazing opportunities and how to know when it's the right time to make changes.
