A Legacy Re-Energized
AU alum’s stolen Frederick Douglass statue in Rochester replaced
ROCHESTER–A sculpture in- stallation in Rochester celebrat- ing the life of civil rights activist Frederick Douglass is near com- pletion. Twelve of the 13 replicas of a famous monument to Dou- glass, created by sculptor and Al- fred University alumna Olivia Kim, have been placed through- out the city.
Kim, who earned a B.F.A. de- gree (concentration in sculpture) from Alfred University in 2001, was chosen by the “Re-Energiz- ing the Legacy of Frederick Dou- glass” committee to design and make the 13 statues of Douglass, which are being placed through- out Rochester in a city-wide in- teractive tour. The monument display is part of a larger celebra- tion marking the bicentennial of Douglass’ birth in 1818.
The statues, made at Kim’s sculpture studio in the Hunger- ford Building on East Main Street in Rochester, were com- pleted this fall. They are replicas of a larger statue of Douglass – the first monument erected in the United States to an African American–which was installed in Rochester’s Highland Park neighborhood in 1899.
As of September, 12 of the 13 statues had been installed throughout the city, at various lo- cations historically significant to Douglass’ life. Two other repli- cas, made from epoxy and fiber- glass, were purchased by the Garth Fagan Dance Company, and by Michelle Daniels, a donor to efforts to educate the public on Douglass and his legacy.
Fagan is an internationally- renowned choreographer who owns Garth Fagan Dance in Rochester. Fagan wrote the cho- reography for the Broadway pro- duction of Lion King and created an original dance piece–The North Star by Garth Fagan–cele- brating Douglass’ life and the bi- centennial of his birth. The North Star ran Oct. 30-Nov. 4 at the Joyce Theater in New York City;
Kim’s Douglass statue was used as part of the theater set for the production.
The 13th statue created by Kim for the city-wide installation was to be placed on Favor Street in Rochester. However, on Sunday, Dec. 16, vandals destroyed a statue installed at the intersection of Alexander and Tracy Streets.
The replica that was to be in- stalled on Favor Street has now replaced the one destroyed by vandals. A ceremony was held Thursday, Dec. 20, at which time the vandalized monument was re- placed.
The city of Rochester hosted a pair of events this month closing out the Frederick Douglass Bi- centennial Celebration: at Hochstein School of Music &
Dance, titled “Prophet of Free- dom-Frederick Douglass in Word and Song”; and at Rochester In- stitute of Technology, titled
“America Diversity & Frederick Douglass: Lessons from the Prophet of Freedom.”
The Hochstein event consisted of vocal performances and re- marks from dignitaries and di- verse religious leaders. Remarks were made by Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and members of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives organization–includ- ing Nettie Washington Douglass (great-great-granddaughter of Booker T. Washington and Fred- erick Douglass) and her son, Ken Morris Jr. (Nettie’s son and great- great-great-grandson of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Wash- ington)–and the Yale historian David Blight.
The original Douglass monu- ment erected in 1899, created by sculptor Stanley Edwards, was modelled after Douglass’ son, Charles; for the statues made for the Bicentennial Celebration stat- ues, Kim used Ken Morris Jr.’s face and hands as a model.
Morris Jr. announced at the Hochstein event that The Freder- ick Douglass Family Initiatives intends to place its physical head- quarters in Rochester.
The RIT event consisted of two panel discussions. Topics covered the “Re-Energizing the Legacy of Frederick Douglass” project, which includes the cooperation of more than 100 institutions and organizations in the Greater Rochester area. Kim sat on one panel, and discussed the meaning of body language and the gestural changes she made to create the Bicentennial sculpture, which re- flects a contemporary statement of Douglass’ message.
A well-known civil rights ac- tivist and social reformer, Dou- glass became a national leader in the abolitionist movement after
escaping from slavery in Mary- land. In 1847, he started publish- ing his abolitionist newspaper, the North Star, in Rochester. One of Kim’s statues was installed near the Talman Building on East Main Street in Rochester, which at the time was site of the North Starnewspaper office.
Douglass came to Alfred on occasion during the early 1850s.
He spoke glowingly of Alfred University following a visit in October 1851, at which time he presented two lectures. Many of Alfred University’s student body attended the lectures, and Dou- glass left Alfred impressed with the anti-slavery sentiment that existed at the fledgling institu-
tion.
“The students nearly exhausted my box of books, and I came away feeling that I had left the good seed of anti-slavery sown in good ground,” Douglass wrote of his visit to Alfred. “The hope of the slave is in the young. We need have little trouble with the old pro-slavery people of the country if we can gain the ear and heart of the young. The moral sense of the latter is keen, their sensibili- ties are more alive to the inhu- manities of slavery, and they have more courage to grapple with questions of reform…”
Alfred’s second president, Jonathan M. Allen, while a stu- dent at Alfred Academy in 1841
extemporaneously prophesied the Civil War and the subsequent abolition of slavery during a year- end class presentation. He joined the faculty in 1849 and no doubt had no small part in Douglass’
visit.
Alfred University, founded in 1836, has a history of inclusivity.
In addition to being the first higher educational institution in the nation to admit women and allow them to pursue the same full course of studies offered to male students, Alfred University was one of the first institutions to admit African American and Na- tive American students.
This Frederick Douglass statue, the last of 13 crafted by Alfred University alum Olivia Kim, replaced the statue that vandals damaged and removed on Dec. 16. (Print screen of WXXInews video)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ALFRED–IncubatorWorks (Alfred Technology Resources, dba.) which operates business incubators in Alfred and Corn- ing, received a designated busi- ness incubator (DBI) grant from Empire State Development Corp for $625,000.
IncubatorWorks helps entre- preneurs start businesses and helps Startups grow. IW’s focus is on creating an entrepreneurial community in the corridor be- tween the Southern Tier and Western part of NY; where the incubators are strategically placed. IncubatorWorks pro- vides tenant services for those needing space as well as virtual incubation for individuals who may only need services. Some services provided include: busi- ness plan development, cash flow planning, entrepreneurial training, accessing capital and funding, state certification assis-
Santa apparently banks at Community Bank on Main Street in Alfred
tance, and university connec- tions with the top schools in the Southern Tier and Western part of New York State.
Alan Rae, co-executive direc- tor of IncubatorWorks, said the funding “will allow Incubator- Works to have a dedicated pro- gram manager for economic development in Allegany County to expand the successful programs we have in Steuben, Chemung and Schuyler coun- ties.”
The current programs are fo- cused around serving under- served communities including a veterans’ entrepreneurs’ group; a community entrepreneurs’
group; community engagement and involvement with young professional’s groups; and rural communities.
IncubatorWorks plans to pro- vide these services to entrepre- neurs in Allegany County.
Programs will be similar but will be tailored to meet the needs of people in Allegany County.
IncubatorWorks is excited to cultivate a working relationship and include the Alfred Univer- sity students. “I think there is a real opportunity to rekindle the entrepreneurial spirit that flour- ished at Alfred 15-20 years ago,”
Rae added. He pointed out that every current tenant of the Al- fred IncubatorWorks building – Saxon Glass, Ceragen, SRS and Xylon – is led by people with an Alfred University affiliation.
“I think we now have the re- sources” to encourage busi- nesses to start in Alfred, pointing
to a new emphasis on research and development at Alfred Uni- versity; the hiring of Dr. Craig Clark as the county’s economic development director; and the downtown revitalization grant to the Village of Alfred, as well as the award to IncubatorWorks to create specific programs for Al- legany County.
“We are looking forward to working with IncubatorWorks to bring greater vitality to the Southern Tier of New York,”
said Alfred University President Mark Zupan. “Alan is right. We are seeing an increased interest in entrepreneurship among our faculty, students and alumni that
we hope will help turn around the economy in our area. The In- cubatorWorks programs are a great compliment to what the University is offering now, and what we hope to offer in the fu- ture in terms of assistance to ma- terials-based businesses in New York State.”
IncubatorWorks has a 31-year history and the future is bright and transformative due to this DBI funding. Entrepreneurship and small business is the future of economic growth in the re- gion, and IncubatorWorks is ready to help build the startup community in Allegany County.

Letter to the Editor and to the Al- fred Community:
Here’s another Christian’s view from one who was born here and grew up in Alfred many years ago.
Isaiah 8:20 says “To the law and to the testimony: If they do not speak according to this word (the Bible, God’s Word) it is be- cause there is no light in them.”
We live in a time when men
and women demean the Bible and value their own wisdom and
ALBANY–Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I-57th District), issued the following statement upon announcement Wednesday, Dec. 19 of the awarding of Regional Economic Development Council grants:
“New jobs, greater economic opportunities and a richer quality of life will be the outcome of the Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) awards announced today. These winning proposals encompass a diverse spectrum of projects, from infrastructure up- grades to manufacturing investment to historic preservation and be- yond. Yet, what they share is a common belief in a bright future for the Southern Tier and Livingston County and a certainty that our people are our greatest asset,” said Senator Catharine Young.
“Taken together, the funding for our district amounts to more than
$10.5 million for municipalities, businesses and nonprofits, yet the jobs and economic activity that will be generated will produce div- idends far exceeding that amount. I applaud the local and state offi- cials, and stakeholders from every sector who invested time, vision and great effort in this process. I look forward to continuing to work together in 2019 to build on these successes,” she concluded.
Allegany County projects that received funding include:
•$625,000 for Alfred Technology Resources DBA to provide new programming aimed at fostering entrepreneurship;
•$78,984 for the Allegany County Soil and Water Conservation District to construct a permanent salt storage facility for the Town of Granger;
•$700,000 for Ninos Tile to develop a vacant lot at 3 North Main Street and transform it into a five-floor, multi-use facility with commercial space and market rate apartments;
•$20,100 for the Nature Conservancy to develop construction planning documents for trail upgrades at the Moss Lake Preserve in Caneadea;
•$30,000 for the Town of Caneadea to complete an engineering report evaluating the most efficient, cost-effective solution for dis- infecting wastewater treatment plant effluent;
•$8,200 for the Town of Friendship to conduct a study of an efflu- ent wastewater mechanical screening facility for the wastewater treatment plant;
•$30,000 for the Village of Bolivar to complete an engineering study to evaluate the existing sanitary sewer collection system and identify improvements;
•$476,025 for the Village of Bolivar to install an ultraviolet disin- fection system at its wastewater treatment facility;
• $456,750 for the Village of Cuba Main Street Revitalization Proj- ect; and
•$540,000 for the Village of Wellsville to install an ultraviolet dis- infection system at their wastewater treatment plant.
Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara will share fund- ing for the following projects:
•$75,000 for Young Audiences of Western New York to hire stu- dent apprentices to work with a Master Teaching Artists to boost cre- ativity and learn essential career skills.
FROM OUR READERS
Native Alfredian offers another Christian’s view
I
t's been an encouraging couple of weeks for skeptics of Washington's Forever War across the globe. First we had the passage through the Senate of a motion which calls for an end of US support for the Saudi war in Yemen. Then this past week we had President Trump's surprise an- nouncement of complete troop withdrawal from Syria and major troop drawdowns in Afghanistan.It's almost like the season of “Goodwill toward men” has exerted a beneficent influence on our elected officials. I suppose that's wishful thinking, but at any rate these are promising developments.
The Senate vote was notable as being the first time it has used the War Powers Resolution of 1973 to oppose U.S. involvement in an overseas war. I am hopeful that we are beginning to see a more assertive Congress when it comes to troop deployments. In the past Congress has played an overly passive role in not questioning ill conceived Presidential wars. The Senate vote is the only the beginning of the process, as the House will have to approve the bill for it to take effect. Given the ease which the measure passed in the Senate, I'm hopeful that this time it might make it through both houses. This is not the first time which a variation on this bill has been voted on, but each failed at- tempt has seen greater and greater support. This may be the time that enough lawmakers are finally disgusted by the reckless Saudi disregard for civil- ian casualties to actually end our overt support.
On December 20th President Trump announced the full withdrawal of all troops (around 2000) from Syria as well as cessation of all air strikes.
This is unquestionably the correct course. Our in- volvement in the Syrian civil war was always ill considered and in the final analysis resulted in lit- tle but prolonging the conflict by years, intensely exacerbating the refugee crisis and civilian suffer- ing. Obama's decision to begin a trickle of troops to Syria and Trump's earlier decision to increase that presence were always destined for failure be- cause the involvement by every other regional in- terest, separatist and terrorist group doomed it to be a morass. Better to rescind a bad decision than to double down on it, although this has never been a notable ability in Washington. Syria and Iran are plenty motivated and capable of taking care of whatever remains of ISIS in the region.
We (and the Syrian people) may be thankful that Washington never achieved regime change in Syria. For, as bad as Assad may be, to descend into the absolute chaos which would have resulted would have been incalculably worse. The example of Libya is haunting. The ouster of Ghadaffi under President Obama has transformed Libya from a relatively functional place into a smoking ruin run by terrorists and warlords, where slaves can be openly purchased on the streets of Tripoli. It does- n't really matter what our intentions are, when the results are so dismal.
Later on December 20th President Trump also announced a major drawdown of troops in Afghanistan. Of the 14,000 which remain, about 7,000 will be coming home. This, again, is good news, and hopefully presages a complete with- drawal. We have been at war in Afghanistan for over 17 years and we have almost nothing to show for the trillions spent and thousands dead and wounded. Today the Taliban controls about 70%
of the country and has been making steady gains.
The Afghan government is corrupt, bloated by free
flowing American largesse, and seemingly inca- pable of garnering any loyalty outside the cities.
At this point what would “victory” even mean in Afghanistan? The Taliban has established and expanded widespread support among the Afghan people. It hasn't held on and thrived for almost 18 years of assault by the most well funded military in the world without that support. The only way to root it out would be to start wholesale civilian slaughter. As much as some Afghans may dislike the Taliban, they dislike foreign troops occupying their country even more. After 17 years of Ameri- can drones overhead, doors kicked in on raids, and fathers, uncles, and cousins mistakenly killed, the American position in Afghanistan is destined to grow weaker every year. You have to remember, we weren't the first to make this mistake. The mighty British Empire tried for almost 100 unsuc- cessful years to pacify Afghanistan, and the Soviet invasion of 1979 was a debacle. Small wonder that it's known as the graveyard of Empires. America refused to learn the lesson of Vietnam: that a de- termined entrenched force with a popular base of support can outlast a far technologically superior foreign force.
After 9/11 the ostensible purpose was to root out Al-Queda and Osama Bin Laden. It was never re- alistic or necessary to extend that aim toward the destruction of the Taliban, which unlike Al-Queda, is essentially a home grown nationalist movement.
In war and foreign policy it is necessary to abide by the possible and circumspection is a virtue.
When these principles are abandoned, expect fail- ure. Just hanging around Afghanistan or Syria for- ever, expecting some magic reversal of fortune is not a strategy at all, but the very opposite. It is a futile clinging to a failed concept while continuing to squander blood and treasure. The sooner we get out of Afghanistan entirely the better. It is long overdue.
Of course, not everyone sees it that way, because the outrage from the Washington establishment and media has been deafening. So much hand wringing about “America's global leadership” and
“Critical national security interests”! Not that there is really any concrete case made for continued troop levels or what that might actually accom- plish. It enough that it violates that rule that once US troops are stationed somewhere they can never, ever leave.
It's really telling to see what triggers these pun- dits and politicos. I remember that when Trump or- dered that inane cruise missile strike in Syria, the press and politicians on both sides of the aisle gushed with Hosannas, praising him as being“for the first time, Presidential”. When on the other hand, Trump actually brings troops home, clearly the mark of an unhinged mind you'll understand, it's a cause for weeping and gnashing of teeth. As- suming that this isn't being done in preparation for some unhinged attack on Iran or more brinksman- ship in the Ukraine, bringing the troops home from missions with no exit strategy is a cause for cele- bration.
I would say Trump’s surprise troop withdrawals and the prospect of a less prostrate Congress on foreign wars make a pretty great Christmas present for both the troops and the taxpaying public. If the power brokers and the defense contractors see it as coal in their stockings then that is fine with me!
Anti-War Christmas

ALFRED–The Alfred Univer- sity theater department will be represented at the upcoming 2019 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF) Region II Festival, scheduled for Jan. 15-19 at Montclair State University in New Jersey.
Alfred University has been in- vited to the festival perform a scene from Men on Boats. The play was originally staged on campus Oct. 3-6, under the di- rection of Becky Prophet, pro- fessor of theater at Alfred University. Prophet will lead a group of as many as 14 students attending next month’s festival in New Jersey.
Men on Boats, written by Ja- clyn Backhaus, is set in the sum- mer of 1869. It captures the high tension and great adventure of John Wesley Powell and his crew in the first trip down the
Colorado River and through the Grand Canyon. The events of this highly imaginative play are taken from journals of Powell and the other daring men as they floated, floundered, and some- times crashed as they ventured
“down the Great Unknown.”
The Kennedy Center Ameri- can College Theater Festival is a national theater program involv- ing 20,000 students from col- leges and universities nationwide annually. For 50 years, the organization has served as a catalyst in improving the quality of college theater in the United States. KCACTF has grown into a network of more than 700 academic institutions throughout the country. Region II of Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival com- prises college and universities from Maryland, Delaware, Dis- trict of Columbia, New Jersey,
Western New York, Northern Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Prophet will direct four stu- dents performing the scene from Men on Boats. Six students will be participating in auditions for Irene Ryan Acting Scholarships and one will be submitting light- ing design for response. All stu- dents from the Alfred University contingent will be participating in some festival activity or activ- ities.
A group of students from Al- fred University attended the 2018 KCACTF Region II Festi- val, held last January at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. One student, 2018 graduate Trevor Monk (B.A., theater) was hon- ored for winning a regional award for Craft and Allied De- sign. He was recognized for de- signing and creating masks used in Alfred University’s produc-
ALFRED–As 2018 comes to a close, Alfred State Col- lege is taking a look back at some of its biggest stories from the year, from the introduction of a new logo and mascot, to completion of the first phase of the MacKen- zie Makeover, and more.
The following are some major highlights, in no par- ticular order, from 2018:
• Alfred State introduced a new logo, as well as a new animal mascot: an ox named “Big Blue.”
• With the first phase of the MacKenzie Makeover project wrapping up earlier this year, the second phase of the renovation to the largest residence hall on campus is now underway.
• Alfred State officially became a member of NCAA Division III athletics.
• ASC continues to excel in the US News & World Report’s Best Colleges list. Among all Northern Col- leges in an 11-state region, Alfred State is ranked No. 12
overall, No. 5 for public schools, and No. 1 among all SUNY institutions in the category. US News also ranks the college the No. 3 Best College for Veterans when listing public colleges in the North.
• Alfred State celebrated an impressive new, state-of- the-art facility that now houses the building trades:
building construction program – the Workforce Devel- opment Center.
• Professors and Department Chairs Dr. Alex Bitter- man and Erin Vitale made a powerful difference when they helped install sustainable solar devices for Puerto Rican communities in need.
• Automotive Trades students earned victories in sev- eral categories in the Green Grand Prix at Watkins Glen.
• With the addition of several healthcare-related ma- jors in the past few years, and with even more in the pipeline, Alfred State created a new home for these cur- rent and future programs: the Allied Health Department.
• The college partnered with HistoriCorps on several restoration projects in Allegany, the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area on the border of Ten- nessee and Kentucky, and California.
• For the third straight year, Alfred State’s Basic Util- ity Vehicle (BUV) Team earned a first-place finish in the annual intercollegiate BUV Design Competition in Batavia, OH.
Other notable highlights from this past year include breaking ground on House 56, Betsy Penrose being named the associate vice president for Enrollment Man- agement, Dr. Daniel Katz joining the college as the new dean of Arts and Sciences, Interim Dean of the School of Applied Technology Jeffrey Stevens assisting with solar training in Nigeria, and Day of Giving raising
$158,403 from 986 donors.
ALFRED–“Tiny houses,” those usu- ally consisting of less than 500 square feet of living space, have increased in popularity over the last decade, as afford- ability and concerns over the environ- ment and energy consumption prompted a portion of the American population to downsize their homes. At Alfred Univer- sity, senior Jackson Norwood has taken his long-held interest in solar energy and applied it to “tiny living,” developing a system that uses the sun to power a small, environmentally-friendly home.
Norwood, a resident of Livonia, MI, who is set to graduate this month with a bachelor’s degree in renewable energy engineering, chose as his senior design project a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for a tiny house. The house was designed during the 2016-17 academic year by a group of about a dozen Alfred University mechanical and renewable energy engi- neering students as their senior design projects. Construction of the tiny house is being done by students in the building trades program at nearby Alfred State College.
“Our students have been involved in the tiny house design from its initial con- ception,” explained Xingwu Wang, pro- fessor of electrical engineering and renewable energy engineering in Alfred University’s Inamori School of Engineer- ing. “Energy requirements are lower than they used to be; much less electricity is needed. Engineering students know en- ergy limitations. Jackson was looking for the minimum requirement (of power needed for the tiny house).”
For Norwood, the choice for his senior design project was an easy one. “I came here as a renewable energy engineering major because of my love of solar en- ergy,” he said. “I learned about it in high school and looked at it as the wave of the future.”
Over the last two semesters, Norwood has researched and designed a solar PV system that will provide an “essential power load” to the tiny house. He ex- plained that his system will provide solar-
generated power for the entire house, with the exception of the heating and cooling systems. His system will power indoor and outdoor lighting, a refrigerator and other appliances, wall outlets (which power “plug-in” items like a computer and internet router), and water pumps.
Norwood’s solar PV system is made up of four “subsystems”: an array of eight solar panels; a lithium ion battery bank for power storage; a “smart inverter”
which switches 48-volt DC from the bat-
teries and solar array to 120-volt AC power for the house; and a “grid tie”
which connected to the smart inverter, al- lowing a switch to on-grid power, re- quired when battery-stored power runs low.The system was designed to accommo- date the weather and temperatures in the Alfred area. Based on the average num- ber of days with rain or no sunshine, the system was designed so that batteries would power the house one-third of the time. The system cannot provide enough solar energy to power the heating and cooling systems; that power would come from the grid or another power source.
Norwood said his project only involved designing the system, which when com- pleted will utilize solar panels and batter- ies purchased from an outside vendor.
Other Alfred University engineering stu- dents will undertake the task of designing the system that provides energy to the in- side of the house.
When he came to Alfred, Norwood as- pired to pursue a career in research, but now hopes to someday work in system design and installation.
“That really fascinates me. Designing those systems would be cool,” said Nor- wood, who has accepted a position with Naval Nuclear Laboratory in Schenec- tady. He will be working in an electrical engineering group at Naval Nuclear Lab- oratory, a U.S. government contractor which developing and provides technical support for advanced naval nuclear propulsion technology used by the Navy.

ften the most mountainous tasks in our lives can be surmounted with efficiency and ease when we have a proper per- spective of the terrain. Likewise, transforming our eating habits is simplified when our perspective is properly aligned. Last week’s article discussed how to approach change as a lifestyle rather than a diet. Now we will add another key to unlock transformation: the mindset shift.As I have navigated lifestyle change for myself and my clients, I have discovered consistent mind- sets that limit success and others which encourage it. Here are three of specifically to embrace.
1. Food is a tool for self-care--just like washing your face or brushing your teeth. In your approach to food, the focus should be its function of nour- ishment. An additional, and secondary, purpose is for pleasure. Unhealthy food is not a reward, nor is healthy food a punishment. Do you see how as a culture, and often individually, we have adopted the flawed thought-process that food is primarily for pleasure? For example, at a celebration, you can cheat on your diet and have an unhealthy
“treat.” Or if you are having a bad day, it’s okay to eat junk food. Eating healthy needs to be viewed as a daily routine.
2. Focus on what you CAN have rather than what you can’t. This can be nourishing foods that build our bodies vs. junk food, or it may be a strict protocol that cuts out even whole foods for the purpose of a season of therapeutic healing. What-
ever the season, be excited for the foods you get to enjoy. Also, be intentional to always REPLACE an old habit with a new habit. For example, do not simply cut out sugar. Introduce new nourishing desserts made with fruit. By trying new foods and new ways of preparing them, you can be excited for the benefits received, and dismiss the limita- tions.
Eating healthy is NOT hard. Yes, you heard me right. It is commonly said that it takes less effort to smile than to frown. This is also true for your eating habits. To deprive yourself of the nutrients needed to thrive and then bear the daily daily con- sequences (fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and many chronic conditions, etc.) is actually very hard. Change your perspective to view this trans- formation as a gift to yourself rather than an uphill battle.
The process of change reveals a lot about our- selves--our needs, thought-processes, addictions, insecurities, etc. First, allow the principles dis- cussed here to shift your current perception. Sec- ond, be aware that additional growth may be necessary as you progress. The journey of transfor- mation is an important process for you to lay hold of--not just for health, but for the freedom and bal- ance that will come with a healthy mindset.
