Not long after, my family moved
from Lawton to Kansas City,
where I was placed in a convent.
I diSlked it intensely. I couldn't
dance, and I was lonely. But it
was good for me. I learned to
sew, an esteem for cleanliness and
an understanding of responsibility.
I had been there a year when
mother told me, during a visit,
that she had separated from my
father. I began to grow up from
that moment.

entire body relaxed. Now, tighten
the muscles in your neck and
raise your head to the level of
your body. Slowly tilt the head
backward. Concentrate the move

of the body lie limp. Relax by
slowly dropping the head down
again. Repeat six times.
Now, lie on your back. head
hanging loosely, and slowly raise
the head to shoulder level. Touch
ear to shoulder on one side, then
the other side. See how many

Pulling up constantly with the
back of the neck muscles is a good
corrective. Just keep your head
squarely on your shoulders and
there will be no telltale creases.

prevent or iron out this bump, cor

shoulder level horizontally, or en-
