Will YOU Celebrate with Me?
In 4 more days…I will be 50!!! Will YOU celebrate with me and help make my Birthday Wish come true? This is my Birthday Wish: I wish that on Thursday, December 19th, no one eats any animals or animal products the whole day and night! This means: Why is THIS my wish? I think of all the animals across the world who are suffering, needlessly, just so we can eat them. I think about how we place the pleasure of our taste buds over the tragedy of their confinement and their torture. I think about our collective indifference and find it too hard to bear and just impossible to justify. One meal trumps the value of one life – why? Thomas A. Edison wrote, “Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.” Once you know, once you understand the reality of what goes on behind those dark walls of modern-day Factory Farms, the question of whether or not it is “ethical” to eat meat is promptly answered. Ethics stares at you as squarely in your conscience, as the innocent eyes behind the face of every animal silently pleading for their freedom and for the return of their stolen loved ones. THAT is why this is my wish. So, everyday I choose to fill my plate with love and life, color and vibrancy. With that comes a feeling of peace, an assurance of good health and the pride of compassion. My 50th Birthday Wish is that you fill your plate with food that does not include animals! Will you join me on December 19th and help make my wish come true? In return, I promise your gratitude, on behalf of all the animals you will be saving.

Hear This!
My Healthy Life Begins with Sharing Information You’ve got to hear this! (click on the photo) Superfoods! A subject about which I am very passionate. WHY? …because Superfoods contain an abundance of high-level nutrients for the body that are quickly recognized and easily assimilated such as: ~antioxidants ~vitamins ~minerals ~amino acids ~enzymes ~proteins ~vital nutrients Superfoods contain all of these elements. They offer healing and medicinal benefits, they are complete in their concentration of nutrient-dense properties, they are plant-based, from nutrient-dense soils, easy to eat, taste great, and their health benefits have been proven endless over centuries: they can help with weight loss, muscle gain, energy increase, detoxifying and purifying the body, helping reduce inflammation – so many healthy benefits!

read more…Because You Asked
My Healthy Life Begins with Healthy Cooking SO many of you have asked if I am still honoring my New Year’s Resolution: to read one new book a month. Thank You for caring, Thank You for asking! The answer is YES, and I hope that you are still honoring yours as well. While out of town all summer, I decided to polish up on reading my cookbooks. YUM! I read and am happy to recommend the following three cookbooks: 1) Quinoa Revolution by Patricia Green and Carolyn Hemming (not Vegan but many delicious recipes that are easy to make animal-free) 2) Thrive Forward by Brendan Brazier (met him, love him, love his book in every way: beyond great!) 3) The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen (met him, love him, love this book too: the recipes are a little more complex than Brendan’s, so if you’re looking for more of a “gourmet approach”, this is it!)...
