"Here’s a nice image for a life in balance,” she said. “You’re juggling these four balls that you’ve named work, family, friends, spirit. Now, work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it bounces back. The other balls, they’re made of glass. I’ve dropped a few of those glass balls in my day. Sometimes they chip, sometimes they shatter to pieces.”"
