Listen "Episode 79: Sometimes You Just Have to Laugh with Pete Springer"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Vicki Atkinson and Wynne Leon are with retired elementary teacher, blogger, and author, Pete
Springer.
Pete tells us a hilarious story about a volunteer job that devolved into the giggles. And we talk about how laughter is such a great unifier and connector.
Sure, there are some things in life that need to be taken seriously. But is it okay to laugh even as we are trying to do a good job?
Pete carries that forward to another story about a recent mad dash through the airport. In his version of planes, carts, and shuttle vans, he delightfully reminds us that we will eventually get to our destination. And it’s better to go laughing.
So please join us for this delightful episode that has Vicki and me in giggles and I know you will be chuckling right alongside us.
I’m certain you’ll enjoy the scenic and beautiful places we go when we share the power of story.
We know you’ll love it!
