Mumtaz: I still say wow to beauty

Be it career or marriage, spirituality helps you believe in yourself. Isn't that how you conquer the world? Never be afraid of obstacles. Don't let anyone or anything bother you. My family has been a pillar of strength, my sister, my two daughters and my husband.

When I was suffering from cancer, there were days, I'd be low, I'd think of the time when life was only sunshine. You have to keep the faith alive. Don't indulge in self-pity. And I never detached myself from the world. I travel, I see the world with excitement, marvel. I still say ‘wow' to beautiful things.

I've kept alive my childlike innocence. I don't let anything or anyone dampen my zest for life. Now, that's very important.

So, I make sure, I live everyday to the full.

Mom's motivation pays off for Price

Thanks to a mother who wouldn't let him walk away from football, Mike Price will be heading to East Carolina University on a football scholarship in 2009.

A do-it-all wide receiver from New Bern, Price became the ninth high school player to make a verbal commitment to ECU recruiting Class of 09 on July 8. He made the decision just over two weeks after receiving a surprise scholarship offer from the Pirates after attending a one-day camp in Greenville.

I didn't think it (scholarship) was going to come so soon, Price said. I thought I'd have to wait until the (2008) season started.

But I had been down there on a couple of (unofficial) visits. I walked around campus, talked to the coaches and got to know the program a little bit. I just liked everything about it.

Articles Of Faith: Remember the values of independence and mercy

Spirituality or faith is personal, but it isn't private. If we are serious about growing to be more authentic and faithful people, we need others.

We need the larger tradition that most congregations are part of. We need the example and wisdom of others. We need the encouragement of others. And because all of us have a huge capacity for self-deception, we need the reality check others provide.
