78: Building Community Later in Life with Carmen Leal

Do you ever have a hard time making friends after moving?  Well, so do people later in life.  I may even say it's harder for them to break into already well established friends groups.  Today I talk with author, Carmen Leal about making those connections and building community later in life.  

Carmen has an amazing life story that has taken her from Topeka to Timbuktu, literally!  We talk all about moving around, building community along the way, volunteering, and how her dog not only saved her life, but helps her to meet others.  Listen in to a great story filled with wisdom and be sure to check out the links below.
