We all have had the experience of passion. Being passionate about something makes you feel alive, full of energy and emotion and you can’t wait for the day to start. Passion is vital to the Third Age because it keeps us feeling fully alive. And yet, many people have trouble discovering what their passion is. On our show today, we have three people who have discovered their passion. Each one is different and each took a different route to get there, but all three share the energy and excitement that can fill this time of life. Listen to their stories and be encouraged to find your passion in life. Jim Kwako M.D. is a family physician, but with special interests and expertise in alternative-holistic medicine.
