Covid19-a vegan perspective

Things change from generation to generation, stories of hardship and triumph are passed down, interpreted by those left behind and discarded or integrated into the fabric of present time. But even if we consciously decide to ignore the lessons of those who came before us, there seems to be an energetic element that persists, continually sending the unheeded lesson until we are forced through the sheer magnitude of it to stop, to reflect, to evolve spiritually and to redirect a …

Christmas and Other Musings – a vegan perspective

He had just turned 30 the previous July and was a husband and the father of three children under the age of seven.

Mother’s Day – a vegan perspective

Mother’s Day is just around the corner in North America. I remember that even as a child, the thought of an upcoming family celebration would make my tummy tickle with anticipation. Mother’s Day is no different in this respect. That is why I find it odd that I have no childhood memories of this particular festivity. I remember with great fondness the birthdays with the paper hats, candles, party games, cake and the Easters with the new bonnet, gloves, straw …
