After 40 years as a nurse, mother, and caring wife, Jane Merrow leapt into an entirely new world - running a food pantry - reminding us that change is possible at any age, and that we don't have to travel far and wide to do it.  (Or, in Jane's case, beyond the same street she grew up on!)  Today in Ep. 29,  we’ll hear how Jane: Got the idea to start the Newbury Food Pantry (hint, it involves several chance encounters over the years which, like so many of us, she didn't realize were laying the track-work for change at the time), Made the pantry into a reality (and an incredibly successful, innovative, and impactful one, including having the first food recovery program in the state of Massachussetts!),Was put to the test by extraordinarily difficult circumstances and almost decided to quit - but didn’t - and in the end it saved her.  Offers insights for the rest of us considering life changes. To learn more about the Newbury Food Pantry's incredible work, visit their website at https://www.newburyfoodpantry.org/get-food, and follow them on Facebook and Instagram. ***Have guest ideas?
