At airports all over the world, luggage gets lost – sometimes forever. So, what happens to it? It can’t sit there in baggage claim forever. Well, in the U.S. a lot of the lost luggage makes it way to a place in Alabama and the contents of that luggage can be yours for a price. Listen as I explain. https://www.unclaimedbaggage.com You have heard people say, “Happiness is a state of mind.” But it also might be a state of body. There is some wonderful news about how what you do with your body can significantly affect your level of happiness. In fact, your body is constantly sending messages to your brain about what it is experiencing which in turn affects what you think and how you feel. This is according to my guest, Janice Kaplan. She is a journalist and former editor of Parade magazine – and she is author of the book What Your Body Knows About Happiness (https://amzn.to/49XpSFj) It appears that a lot of people walk around with a nagging sense they aren’t good enough – that they are not living up to their potential, that they should be doing better.
