      Accept Your Disease

Some days, the work of wellness may not be the easiest or most convenient to practice. On a cold and rainy morning, it might be easier to stay in bed and forget the exercise. And instead of preparing a high-nutrition lunch, it might seem simpler to use the drive-through window of the nearest fast food restaurant. Our intention to move toward wellness...moreless
