"I am a Non. I value MY well being, my emotional health, enough to make choices that allow me to move towards health, wellness and better relationships.. if that includes the bp in my life.. good..if not.. it’s worth the price.. I am worth the price.

I am a Non. It is NOT my fault that the bp in my life is sick... it IS my responsibility to care for myself, to work on my health, and look out for my children."
