I dedicate the Simply Somatics site to Eleanor Criswell Hanna, Ed.D.:
For her encouragement as a creator, teacher, writer, and editor and for permissions to reprint previously published materials. I have learned a lot about Somatics, writing and editing content, getting proper permissions and about myself through this process. Without Eleanor’s support I might not have found a way to get started with this blogging business and “sharing my odd little self in my own creative way”........................ Thank you Eleanor! My first personal blog post is for you.

Special acknowledgment to all of the Hathway (Digital Media Services) for their brilliant collaboration in bringing this site to be all that I hoped for and more than I could imagine. Especially:

Garrett Deiter, Andrea Harrington, and Mary Dundon. Thank you Hathway!
