I haven't said a lot here about the constant fatigue I've been battling for several months, mostly because I like to serve up answers instead of questions and I'm still in the midst of working it out... with a little help from nutritionist Corinne Bush at the Far Hills Pharmacy. However, as I was drinking my daily dose of pond scum in the name of Green Vibrance, I snapped a photo to share with all of you -- one of those "you have to see it to believe it."
