One year vegan!

Today marks one year vegan! I can't believe it's been a year already. It certainly doesn't feel like it. I've grown accustomed to the lifestyle now and have learned how to quickly read labels on a product I don't know to see if it is vegan. I am interested in joining the activism side of veganism, but I'm nervous. I can get emotional quickly and worry I'll be overcome and not be able to help. Just me standing there crying. I quit meat easily enough and don't miss it at all. I wish more people would take the leap. People tend to make excuses and assume that all they'll eat is a salad. Times they are a changing. Gone are the days of salad and bland tofu. There is a plethora of vegan options now. I mean amazing ice creams that are rich and creamy. Burgers and hot dogs that are flavor packed. While I limit myself on processed foods, it's a great starting point for the newly vegan palate. I love veggies in about any form, so vegan wasn't a hard jump for me. I had gotten to the point, that when I cooked meat, it made me feel sick to my stomach and I couldn't even eat it. I know that I am healthier and happier being vegan and I don't see myself ever going back to meat. I am grateful to Earthling Ed for opening my eyes and making it a simple choice to go vegan. I am thankful for challenge 22 for making the transition seamless. If you are interested in going vegan, I urge you to check out challenge 22 and if you want to know why you should go vegan, check out earthling ed's videos. Today I'll be dreaming of a world where no animal has to suffer and die for us to eat. Dream a little dream of vegan my lovely little dreamers.

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
