First night of Culture as a Resource in Health and Healing, First Impression: Love it.

People's Theory



I am rather tired to reflect much on tonight's class right now, but since I had enough energy to come on here I thought I would post the Cultural Wellness Center's little diagram on how they believe sickness develops. Take a look folks and see if it makes sense to you at all. My fourth and final class for this semester takes place at this center where their mission is "To unleash the power of citizens to heal themselves and build community." I want to work there.

But for now, I must rest so I can wake up early and do some research because it is clear by my droopy eyes and sleepy brain do not want to do much more than rest.

Good night, and I hope you have a positive sense of belonging and worth!

Love, me

Writer's Blog

So I thought I would create my first post today because I have some serious writer's block right now. And I figured if I could just get some reflective juice flowing here maybe it would help me get started on my first assignments due for my grad program--for the class, Alternative and Complementary Approaches to Health Care.

I have two short reflective papers due this Thursday, one that simply evaluates a particular website and another that provides research on H1N1 and homeopathic/naturopathic remedies/options out there. Sounds basic and simple enough, but I stand boggled and corrected. I've tried coffee, exercise, dialogue, reading, browsing, and nothing can get me motivated to start this work. So here is to hoping that blogging works. And cheers to my breakfast too. I started out with some veggie sausage links and an english muffin. (I'm trying to get more protein in my diet to help boost my energy). And let me tell you, the Morning Star "Sausage" Links are not very tasty! To rid myself of the taste I am trying 'Egyptian Chamomile Tea with delicate Apple' and it is good (after adding some honey) but not the ticket to getting me all jazzed up about writing this paper.

So I apologize for this posting, it is clear that I have writer's block and I hope that something worthwhile will come out of me in the next couple hours!

Have a cheerful day!
