Mary Welling has been over enjoying the Christmas Holidays. It happens! We enjoy and enjoy all the goodies, the large meals and especially the great variety of lamb, beef, chicken, duck and seafood.

One of these truths is that when I was young I was more interested in learning about healthy topics. However, when I got married and had a family (responsibility intersected with purpose) and…
