There's a part in our conversation where Janice Clemmer gives an analogy of life as preparing for an exam. This has been an analogy I have envisioned myself. She said that we work really hard in this life so that when the "test" comes, we'll be prepared for it. How do we prepare? She talks of associating with good people, of serving those around us, of learning to forgive, of working hard in all we aspire to, and of looking for the everyday miracles that we are blessed with. She shared how her good companions in life--friends and family at every stage of life--have helped her become a better person. And for those who don't, she has learned to not worry about them. So many snippets of good advice that we can all start practicing today.
