P.S.  One more thing, THANK YOU, to everyone who nominated me and/or voted for me in the 5th Annual WEGO Health Activist Awards!  Yesterday, I found that I am a Finalist for Health Activist Hero.  This is the third consecutive year that I have been a Finalist.  Regardless of the outcome, I want to thank everyone for taking the time to recognize my work!
