Veganism is not a diet
Not a weight loss strategy
My intention is not to reduce my carbon food print
It’s a radical shift in the way I look at non human animals
To see them as individuals with the capacity to feel pain, joy, and suffer
To harm them is to harm myself
5 years ago I vowed to look at all beings through the lens of compassion
To reduce suffering in the world by not supporting the exploitation of animals for food, clothing or entertainment
To practice peace in each meal
I don’t expect the world to understand or agree with my life choices
I understand many are not ready for this radical message of non violence
The sun will rise And set Relax, nothing is under control
Days will go by People will get sick Loved ones will die
Jobs will be lost People will cheat, lie, and push your buttons Relax, nothing is under control
Our mission is to rise above and stay positive even in the darkest of times Knowing that everything & everyone is impermanent
We can find joy by letting go of control of others and situations All we can control is our reaction and attitude to the chaos around us Resilience is built by not avoiding hard situations but by embracing them with love, compassion, and acceptance.
where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
