Reflective Statement

I probably should have waited until I had the rest of my homework done before I listened to this recording! It is so amazing how you can feel your limbs relaxing purely through the power of suggestion. It feels like magic but we really do have the power to control how our bodies feel. Realizing this is so empowering. I will definitely use this again to help me fall asleep faster. I am going to see if my kids will go for listening to this at bedtime, as well!!

Introduction

Hello classmates, I am Dorothy. I live in New Hampshire with my husband and three children. My oldest is twelve and my youngest two are eight. I work full time and I homeschool my two youngest. Obviously I have now added "student" to my list of titles, which I don't regret....most of the time. I want to eventually be a chiropractor and I am using Kaplan as a way to gain the prerequisites to enter chiropractic college. A quick explanation of my silly blog name. My brain is frazzled and I couldn't think of a name. In the midst of this, I was telling my girls to clean their room, much to their chagrin. "Why mommy?" was the incessant whine. I responded, "Why don't you just do it and then it will be over with." (A statement I have to apply in my own life, daily, when I leave my house to go to work!) Stella's response was, "Why not have a dance off instead?" It was her intention to be flip and she was parroting something she saw on the Disney channel, but the result was, a name for my blog. ;) I look forward to conversing with you all throughout this course. Best, Dorothy
