I feel sometimes like the “my advocacy is working” stars align. I will tell you my little story and let you be the judge. My husband, who grew up on a farm, has been, like most of us, a consumer of nonhuman animals for most of his life. Like others mothers of this generation, his mother raised her children on the idea that animals as food is a natural and normal and healthy way for humans to live. She” raised” …
This Vegan’s Take On Vegetarian Times Magazine
The last thing I do at night before I hit the proverbial hay is plug in my energy depleted iPad. One of the first things I do in the morning after swinging my legs out of bed is unplug my re energized iPad. I will admit, it usually is within reach wherever I am in the house during the day.
So, it sounds like I have a “staying connected” addiction. But this is not really so. My iPad does not have …
Vegan Views and the First Annual Montreal VegFest

I attended a demonstration calling for Quebec to recognize and legalize the moral status …

It was our anniversary yesterday-39 years spent raising a family, weathering the storms and enjoying the good times and blessings (our children and grandchildren). We decided that we would not exchange gifts. I should have learned by now that I am the only one who sticks to the rule.
Anyway, one thing that we did agree on was that we would go out for supper. My preference is always to go to a vegan (100% plant based) restaurant. However, I don’t …
My Dream Advocacy as a Vegan
One of my goals as a vegan wishing to do the most good in the shortest amount of time, was, and still is, to meet other vegans, to listen to their views, to share mine and to come together with a new and improved and productive vision. I had no idea how to do this seeing as only 2 percent of the population worldwide is vegan. And since I am not all that fond of traveling…..gotta do it from home.
