Everyday Legends — Timeless Wisdom

— "We all have living legends, currently surrounding us. We don't need to look only to the famous or the wealthy as our models of strength, but we can observe inner strength through our daily interactions, even in our own households, maybe in the next room. If we can't see them, all we need to do is open our eyes a little wider."

Valeria Teles interviews Jennifer McCloskey — the author of "Put Comfortable Shoes in My Coffin: True Stories of Faith, Family, and Fortitude."
