THE SECRETIONS OF NONHUMAN ANIMALS ARE THE CHEESE WE EAT AND MORE…!

One of the best and most wonderful things (and there are plenty) my daughter has done for me, is to point me in the way of veganism. It has helped me to clarify things in my life, to identify another purpose for my place on this planet, to heal from emotional injuries and to improve my health. Now this did not happen overnight. It has been an ongoing healing and discovery of sorts-one that I hope continues for the remainder of my …

UPCOMING WHALE HUNT iN tHE FAROE ISLANDS

I am sitting down at five thirty PM Montreal time to try to write a post, this post, about a difficult subject. I have done a little bit of research this morning and, I have to tell you, the subject matter saddens me so much that I had to put it aside for the day in order to reflect on what exactly I would like to say.

CELESTE, MY VEGAN BLOGGING FRIEND

By now, my dear readers, you know that I think of this thing we call life as a journey, particularly every aspect of my veganism. Blogging about being vegan is one avenue that I use to further expand my knowledge and understanding and to inspire others to join me. It is my hope to connect with others in the vegan community.

DIETARY CHANGES, EXERCISE AND VEGANISM

It is another day in the life of an aspiring Vegan Warrior. I wish I had noted the exact day when I decided to increase my consumption of whole grains, beans and starchy vegetables, decrease (eliminate) my consumption of fat and oil, and eliminate (mostly) junk food and sugar from my diet.

So, I will have to make up a day that is around the start date of this newly adopted journey. I am looking at the calendar and know that …
