Stress-free on the job

BY SUSAN TISH

A few years ago a friend wondered why I always seemed so calm and together. In fact, she asked if I was taking a drug to help me cope with the challenges of work and motherhood. At the time it struck me as an odd question, and I explained that prayer was my only aid, since it helped order my days and calm my thinking.

Spiritual awareness isn't pretending there's harmony where none appears to be, or simply waiting for a positive change.
