Clearly ones physical health is very dependent on ones mental attitude. Steve A Good Responding and Helpful Idea From Dr. Meinert from the US June 21, 2010 Shirley, I’m glad to hear you are seeing some improvement.   You’ve definitely pushed yourself very hard and there’s no doubt that your mental health impacts you physical health.       Hopefully your renewed lifestyle will continue to pay positive dividends in terms of your health. Organizations can and often do place undue stress on employees, which can adversely impact their health and the longterm health of the company.   Employees are like any other type of asset, organizations make a significant investment in their human capital in hopes of a return.   If stress within the organization impacts the employee adversely the ROI from the employees productivity will be less.   In the extreme, an employee might be unable to work or might quit do to the stress and the organization has a sunk cost with no hope for future ROI. Dr. M A Good Responding and Helpful Suggestion From Mr. Rufus from Britain June 21, 2010 Hi Shirley, Have you try doin some meditation first time in the morning...it would help clear your mind before the start of the day...I would say try Qigong which is just as helpful.I learnt that from my Chinese Master here in UK...Also you could try it (meditation) the last thing before you go to sleep.. Most parks in HK and Chinese cities are full of people doing Tai-Chi in the morning perhaps you can join them...Another observation that I saw when I was in China was that people enjoyed Ballroom dancing in very available public spaces...So join what is there to lose...all you have to gain is healthy mind and body... Kind Regards Rufus. A Good Responding From Dr. Yuhua Q from the US June 21, 2010 (Extract) Dear Shirley: I hope your health can be improved..    Take care. A Good Thought, Beautiful Depiction and Helpful Suggestion From Pref. Caroldine Aronis from USA June 21, 2010 (Extract) Shirley, I am glad to hear that you are regaining your health and sleep pattern.   I do agree that emotion management helps one to be more productive.   It can help people to work together instead of disagreeing. Some ways that I think help to achieve emotional management is:   discussing feelings in a support group (that does not judge what you say); writing down one's feelings ( maybe in a journal, regularly); and relying on one's "higher power" (God, gods, Daoism, Confucianism, etc.), Confucian Analects are similar to the book of Proverbs found in the Christian Bible.   I have discovered this while teaching Religions of the World.    These things have helped me. Looking at art like your paintings helps me to relax and manage emotions.   I am just beginning to practice using color and shapes-more of an abstract art.   I'm not sure if I could be as patient and take the time to make such beautiful paintings such as yours. Respectfully, Professor Caroldine Aronis A Good Thought, Beautiful Depiction and Helpful Sugguestion From Mr. William G. from USA June 24 & 21, 2010 (Extract) Dearest Shirley, I have written little notes that I read when I open a cupboard in my kitchen. Here is one of them that has meant a great deal to me: "Involvement Rather Than Immersion" we can be involved in Life while not letting it sweep us off our feet and send us spinning out of control. By taking one step back from an experience, we can then respond to it rather than simply react.    We are NOT our Feelings. They are under OUR Guidance and Direction. They are like spices. A touch is wonderful but too much and it ruins the flavors of our food..but it must be US who takes the time to "add our chosen 'specific amount' of spices to our Lives so that they may be full and dynamic...............like how you paint - with Heart and Enthusiasm! Yet not to paint at the expense of your only body and mind! It seems that is what you have done. Now it is time to "reset" your patterns so that your Passion still flows i but not in ways that harm you. It is a question of Balance and Harmony dearest Shirley. And your Heart can help you to do this. Go to a place of regulated breathing, put your hands over your Heart and direct your attention to that Inner Space where there is   Peace and Now-ness. Being Here Now is the only way to manifest your Healing as it is the only true "time" we have. Visualize a 'clear painting - like a painting on glass' of how you want your body to be and then immerse that painting into your body, seeing the transformation and healing. I did this for my eyes and it works!!!!!!!!:) Be Well:)                                                                                        William ----------------- Dearest Shirley, It has been known for Centuries that Stress can cause great harm to the body! A little stress is a good motivation, but too many times people allow stress to "run" them and thus the body begins to "burn out" just like a battery that is not recharged but always used too much. So, yes I DO agree with you that rest is a needed thing for you.BUT I ALSO believe that you must now alter and "reprogram" your mind and body with different "tuning" to Life as a whole. Otherwise, outside stresses, such as your friend's emergency, will catch you by surprise and "restimulate" your stressful patterns. I personally have been learning just this very thing so that I can remain more "detached" form the things going on around me. It is like a lake with the full moon shining on it. If we see the Lake and Moon as our Balance, then any rock thrown into it, no matter how small, will create a ripple that will disturb our Inner Balance. If we but step back a few paces, sit in a comfortable chair and simply "watch" the Lake and Moon, we will be less disturbed by the constant movement that occurs with ANY lake in Life:) So, dear Shirley, please continue to do what the doctors require AND may I suggest visitng a site called "Brainsync.com" and peruse the various CD that Kelly Howell has produced. They are magnificent and DO work as I have been using them for several years to progress in my own Search For Balance:) Meanwhile, be well, my Dear:) William A Kind Caring For From Mrs. Xiaoling Z from the China June 21, 2010 你啊就是想得太多啦。主æ„�都很好。 能ä¸�能放下心，休闲一下啊。 A Good Responding From Mrs. Joan Smith from the US June 20, 2010(Extract) Dear Shirley:    I really enjoyed your newsletter.    As a therapist, I learned that I can trust another person to solve their own problems.   It is hard at first, but saying "how do you plan   to solve this?"   Helps, put the problem "monkey" on their back, so they take responsibility for their own problems.   It is liberating, because we all have enough to deal with, without adding tons of other peoples problems.    NOW - your art.   I absolutely love the plum blossoms.   They are so elegant.   Also, I love the blue bird with yellow lilies.   Wow, what wonderful colors and background and beautiful lines. Do you sell your art?   My art is very different, abstract. Just beautiful your work.   You sould be very encouraged. Have a great and mentally controlled week.    Your friend Joan Smith    A Good Responding From Mr. Lloyd M. from Switzerland   June 21, 2010 It is good that you have decided to do something about your talent.

The failing of one's health dictates changes in life's schedule of events. Over the years as I read your letters, I often wondered how one person could accomplish so much in a single day. My thoughts were does that Lady ever take time to sleep, to relax and as they say, "Slow down and smell the roses." From your newest letter I do believe you have found the way to recovery and we pray you are on the right path. Your letter to me were a wake up call, saying I had better change my ways also.   I thank you for your wisdom and wish you a fast recovery. Your humble servant and friend       Don A Good and Responding From Carl W. from the US June 15, 2010(Extract) Dear Shirley Thank you for the message, and as always glad to hear from you. About your eyes, think of all the beautiful things they have seen, and there will much more. I don't know if the US has the best Dr's or not but I know they do a lot of transplants and eye care has came a long way. Each email you are doing so much you remind me of the little boy or girl in the first grade that just cant set still. always doing something. That is a real good trait but it can be carried to far. You have already accomplished so much and I remember when you sang to your mother how proud she was of you. You brought much joy to her and especially in her final days. The next week or so try to make Shirley happy as you deserve it!!!!! Take care and remember so many people love you.

Take care always. and, Thank you. always, Ronald A Good Responding and Meaningful Sugguestions From William G from the US June 14, 2010 Dear Shirley, How good to hear that you are ready and willing to "help yourself"! Our own Management Team is within us but needs only for us to "give it the 'Go Ahead'" to put new beliefs and actions into place. Sometimes the old habits may surface - but that is only for us to SEE Them for how can we release and replace that which we do not know is there? I have also come across a technique called EFT (also called 'Tapping') which may be of benefit to you. From the little I have read, it originated with Chi Gung and is accupressure point manipulation to dissipate the "energy blocks associated with certain activities and/or beliefs that we may have mistakenly taken on. It is very easy to learn and can be used at any time.

Remember the Chinese concept of Destiny (ming). You were created an artist, if you don't follow the path of an artist, you will not attain destiny, and your body will not function properly. --asai Afriendly Responding From Mr. Frank D. J. from Belgium   June 7, 2010 dear shirley, I have, all this time, read your letters when you sent them. I am sorry to hear about your eyesight. it is too bad, I am sorry for you... but, as a consolation, I would say your eyes have seen so much, in your lifetime... more than others, maybe... still, it is a shame. but what can you do? these things are inevitable, how hard that may be. I am sure you will, in the end, find comfort and peace, in your work, in music.... take care Shirley. Frank. A Friendly Responding From Mr. Peter N. from   June 7, 2010 Dear Shirley, Your weekly letter has just come through and I read it with progressive sadness regarding your health problems... I know you are a very strong woman though, and will make the best of the future. May your own personal God go with you in these times. Sleep tight. Peter A Friendly Responding From Mr. Michael Z. from USA June 7, 2010 Hello Shirley, I am sad to learn of your difficulty with your health.

Sincerely, Michael Afriendly Responding From Mr. Gilberto J.S. from Brasil June 8, 2010 Hi. Shirley, Well I was surprised when I read yor e-mail and knew your actual state of health. Shirley, I just love your paintings and your talent. Shirley, i have been drawing since I was 6 years old. I dont have schoolar graduation on pictures neither specialization, I am just a lover of art and for many years it was my only expression of thoghts. Im just a person who wants to do things perfectly and with knowledge of things. I felt in the oriental thought the original basis of meanig and spirituality. It may sound strange from a foreigin person talk about this.Well, the most important thing i have in my life is faith . Shirley, I agree(=concordo ) with yuor position but i dont think a so many beatiful artistry like you will stay with no vision for a long time. Thats your really resposability. And more, our life was not gaven to us by our own force, but it comes from another force( God, if you wish,Christ or Bhuddha). I hope your confidence in yourself grow and make this another force , that is God and Bhuddha, take care of you   and make you see clearly again. Shirley , i wish you happy . Till another day. Bye,bye.                                                                            Gilberto Dear Shirley: A Friendly Responding from Mrs. Yuhua Q. from USA June 7, 2010 (Extract) Thanks for the note. Please take care of yourself. I am very worried about your health.   I will pray for you.    Yuhua A Friendly Responding From Mr. Greg from USA June 7, 2010 (Extract) Hello Shirley: I was excited to receive your newsletter as I always am but I feel saddened that you are still having problems with your eyes.    I just don’t understand why this conditioned cannot be corrected.   You are still a young woman and you should not be suffering with any health issues like this.    If your condition is not able to be corrected then I think you are making the correct decisions or at least, you are prepared to make the best decisions when the time comes.   I feel you have used good reasoning to arrive at your decisions.   I think it is smart for you to pursue your dreams regardless of what happens.    You have my sincere best wishes for a recovery to have normal eyes.   God has given you a gift and your gift (besides painting and singing) is that you are meant to bring people together from all cultures and to share your knowledge of China and Chinese culture and to allow everyone to appreciate them.    You are a great ambassador for China and I am happy to have you as my friend. Best Regards, - Greg A Friendly Responding and Nice Offering From Mr. Panayotis from Greece June 7, 2010 (Extract) Dear Shirley, I am amazed of everything that you do and the strength and courage that you are showing!

What shall you do on that day ? Take care, Lloyd                                                    A Sharp but Sincere Advice from Mr. Gary J. from USA June 1, 2010 (Extract) Shriley, Hope you get well soon and your eyes recover quickly.   We say in America, that the things that are "pleasing us are hurting us somehow".   I will let you figure out how this applies to you, but it applies to me and almost everyone else. Once you learn what is important in life you will not need your eyes.   Nonetheless, we all want to see and enjoy the beauty of the world and are surrondings.   My point is simply that your work is umimportant and meaningless.   Once you realize that our only purpose for living is to find God then you will find your way. You are like me and many other people, busy with all the things that do not matter.   Your work, your career, your painting, your music.   I am not suggesting that you stop doing these things, but recommending that you devote your life to a higher purpose.   Learn about God and serve the lord.   You can do this in your work, your career and your daily life. Your painting to not reflect the struggles and pain of living, nor the pleasure of life.   They are nothing more than some birds on a branch or twig.   Learn to use your art and music to express God's love and Joy, as well as the daily plight of all people. It is time for you to join the real world and understand life.   Otherwise, your paintings, singing, and career will just be something you did while you were waiting to die.   I learn these lesson many years ago from a great deal of personal pain.   Sometimes, it is better to learn them from others than to experience them yourself. You must do what you feel is best, but I have learned many lesson about life during my journey. Wish you the best. Gary A Friendly Responding from Mr. Mehboobkhan from India June 1, 2010 (Extract) Dear Shirley, I am very much thankful for your mail and pictures. Appreciate your paintings fully and learn your skills. Also I would like to paint pictures and send to you. Wish you grand success in your expedition. Warmes Regards.
