Paying Attention to Your Spiritual Side
July 2, 2003
"You want nothing
but patience-or give it a more fascinating name, call it hope." - Jane
Austen, Sense and Sensibility
PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR
SPIRITUAL SIDE
Sylvia Boorstein, Ph.D. (www.spiritrock.org),
writes in her recent book Pay Attention, for Goodness' Sake (New
York: Ballantine Books) that spirituality is not something separate from our
daily lives. It isn't just time spent in church or meditating. To
cultivate our spiritual side, she recommends. . .
* Perform five acts of generosity each day. When I am generous with others,
it isn't just to make the world a better place. Focusing outward takes me away
from my own problems. Helping others makes me feel better about myself.
* Don't get stuck on why. The better question is, "What do I do now?"
Asking "Why?" or "Why me?" in times of pain is natural,
but it may only make us bitter.
* Use humor to cultivate patience. When I find myself feeling impatient
or anxious, I lighten my mood by poking fun at myself.
* Remember that everything changes. In times of suffering, this
realization reminds me that the pain will end. In good times, it helps me savor
the moment. I take fewer photos now than I used to. I would rather focus on
each moment and enjoy it to the fullest than worry about getting a picture.

Calvary Greetings From Mary Andrew,
Though its a sad and long story but I will cut it short for your quick and easy understanding. I am Mrs Mary Andrew, widow to Late Mr. Peter Andrew , My husband was murdered by those who are envious of his position in his office and he made a vow before his death which made me to contact you for this orphanage project.
Before his death he made a vow to use his wealth for the down trodden,orphanages and the less privileged in the society. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to an individual or better still a God fearing person who will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here in. The funds was deposited overseas and i want an individual that will use this fund and provide succor to poor and indigent persons, orphanages, and widows and for the propagating peace.
I took this decision because I do not have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not inclined to helping poor persons and I do not want my husband's hard earned money to be misused or spent in the manner in which my late husband did not specify. I do not want a situation where this money will be used in an ungodly manner.What is required of you is your honesty, trust and sincerity. Kindly reply me through this email([email protected]) as any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another individual for this same purpose.
Yours sister,
Mrs Mary Andrew.
