Welcome Statement

Hello classmates and Professor Stewart! 

It is a pleasure to finally be able to join everyone here for the Creating Wellness course.  During the quarter, I hope that we are able to share experiences and perspectives in a respectful manner with our selves and each other.  In the hurriedness of the day and keeping track of a regular schedule of juggling roles as a wife, mother, student, and employee, I share and relate to the roles that many of you have with similar stresses.  I find the concept of integral health to be most intriguing but also in some instances, like learning to ride a bike or to skate!  I learn through auditory speech, kinetics, and sight.  So, I hope to be able to fully embrace the new concept into my own thought process of ideals and perception.  I look forward to enhancing my emotional intelligence and sense of wholeness in this world.  Hopefully in time, we all will be able to appreciate the empowerment of our own minds and bodies to make improvements with the tools and skills given in this course to relieve stress and achieve optimum health and wellness.  Happy learning and enjoy the upcoming weeks of learning everybody!
