Lumigrate's been in the making now for two years as a concept on my part, and went 'live' (launched) on March 27 at about 9:50 am our time here in Western Colorado (Mountain Time Zone) and generally everything's gone about as expected since then (though beforehand I was, shall we say, 'challenged' every time I turned around from the day I decided to get out of my previous clinical practice and 'do' what you now see as Lumigrate.com).  ....  read more »
Tips on how to get moving when you body says "NO"
