My best friend from when we were growing up and I ended up marrying sisters. They moved steadily to the left while my wife and I are hard right. It has nearly destroyed our relationships.

Of course, to hear them tell it she is still finding herself while she is a warrior for eating healthy and leading people to a holistic way of life.
