ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll




ll actualization develop through learning and growth—as basic needs are met, higherll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll




ll level needs can be satisfied in turn, with ever-deepening rich- ness to life.
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll




ll Wellness is possible when one‘s health is compromised—even with chronic illness,
l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll




ll with multiple dis- abilities, or in dying, movement toward a higher level of wellness
ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll




ll is possible.
