Blog created for my class Creating Wellness
Welcome
Hi and welcome to my very first blog!
I have created this blog as part of my class called Creating Wellness, I was not expecting to be asked to do this but I am excited to have the opportunity to learn about blogging and learning more about my classmates.
A little about me...
I am a Christian first and foremost, I struggle to be the person God wants me to be and I am a long ways from being perfect but I have confidence that God loves me and accepts me despite my many issues and imperfections. Having God in my life has given me balance, a safe haven from the traumas of life, peace, comfort, joy, a reason to fight for the important issues in my life. He is my rock and my strength, without Him I am nothing.
I am 47 years old and the mother of 2 wonderful children; Kenny, my oldest is 18 years old and graduates from High School in May of this year. Crystal my youngest is 15 years old and is in the 9th grade. I love them both and I am very proud of them.
I am in my second year at Kaplan and loving almost every minute of it.. I am working towards my BS in Psychology with an emphasis towards Applied Behavioral Analysis.
I chose to take this class because I was intrigued by the class and its approach towards healing with integral medicine. Being a psychology student I already have a basic understanding of whole health, believing that true health is not just a physical thing but also includes the mental aspect; which includes, emotional stability, social environmental, chemical, structural, and spiritual well being.
I am interested in using this class to learn how to heal myself and to find and create a wholeness within myself. Then to incorporate it into helping my children to find wholeness as well as interlacing it with what I am learning about psychology and behavior. With this combined knowledge and experience I hope to be able to reach out and help my future clients to find balance as I work with them regarding their behavioral issues, developmental and learning issues.
I am passionate about helping others because my daughter struggles with developmental delays, learning issues, and emotional problems as a result of contracting bacterial meningitis when she was 5 weeks old. During her first 3 years of life she was constantly on the brink of dying as she struggled with cysts in her brain. She is past most of the medical problems but struggles with being whole emotionally within herself. I want to be able to help her with what I learn and to extend myself out so that I can help other families and children as they struggle with similar emotional issues.

Hello, I noticed you commented on my blog, so I thought I would see what your story is. Seems you have way more on your plate than mine! I guess we never realize that the grass isn't always greener on the other side, but it is good to see that you are so involved and optamistic. One could easily play the victim card and quit. Not you and for that I commend you.
ReplyDeleteMy mother went to Tampa, FL for some integral healing before the cancer spread to her major organs. Maybe it was cause of this that her cancer spread, but she never regreted going down there and certainly never would take it back. We had some great times there and many happy memories. She would talk to a lady twice a week for her mental stress. They believed that if you have other stressors in your life then your body is trying to cope with those as well as the cancer and your body will never win. So, if you rule out everything non-cancer related then your mind should be able to tell your body to heal itself. I believe this is the same kind of thing you are doing, correct? Well, good luck and you too are in my prayers.
