I have lost the image label of 'vegan'. My decision has nothing to do with changing my diet because it remains the same. It also has nothing to do with the fact that I will still be saving animals lives. It has nothing to do with the fact that I will be sharing vegan recipes on my website!!! I simply do not want to label myself at all! I don't want to be part of 'one community' and not another. I have learned that certain communities have 'vegan' meaning a whole host of numerous things. I eat a primarily plant based diet and I am striving for improved wellness every single day (OK, week days - wink)! This is 'part' of who I am and you will learn more about who I am entirely the longer you keep coming back for more via Snapshots of Wellness! What do I want to be a part of? The community I will be a part of is no 'community' at all rather, I will join forces with 'individuals' who practice kindness to factory farm animals, demonstrate intelligence and educate others on wellness when promoting healthy plant based eating. I will join forces with people who dedicate themselves to taking action to saving animals lives such as The Gentle Barn and Beagle Freedom Project. I will join forces with people who are creative, lively and genuine. I will join forces with people from multiple 'communities' and while I am comfortable with the labels they attach to themselves, there will be no label attached to me. Who I am I without the 'Vegan' label'???? I am God's daughter. I am a loving girlfriend, daughter, sister, friend & confidante. I am a lover of animals and I walk my talk as far as standing up for those factory farm animals who cannot speak for themselves. I choose not to eat them specifically. I am imperfect. I prefer primarily a plant based diet because it is healing, wise, makes my skin glow, saves the animals - and planet! I'm also a lover of fashion, music and photography! I am in love with life and those people that are out there demonstrating what they are passionate about! Comments are closed.
