Hi! And, welcome!
I'm super excited you're here. Here at my blog and here learning about me and why I'm here. Let's dive in.
I spent the summer of 2011 learning, reading, researching, and watch documentaries about food, nutrition, our bodies, the world, and animals. Not sure why, I just had nothing else to do. After some time passed, I grew so fascinated by what I was learning, I decided to do a cleanse for two weeks. It was October, and I didn't know then that I made a decision that drastically changed my life.
When I started my cleanse, I was considered a raw vegan (I didn't eat anything that had been or was cooked, nor did I eat any animal product or biproduct). It was kind of fun the first couple days, got a little hard, but then became extremely easy for some reason. I was a raw vegan for a month.
The health benefits were amazing. I found myself happier, feeling healthier, full of energy, pain free (I have had chronic neck pain), and heck, I lost some serious weight! All the while, my relationship with God was deepening. I struggled, sure, but I overcame.
I chose to move from raw because I craved warmth in the winter! And, while I live now as a vegan, I tend to lean more on the raw vegan side simply because of my hectic schedule.
Here at my blog, you can expect:
- Recipes : generally vegan, sometimes raw, sometimes neither as I enjoy cooking for all my omnivore friends
- Music : what I'm into at the moment
- Stories : love a good story and my life is daily full of them
- Opinions : rants and raves, comments, etc. nothing too controversial though and never anything about political views
- Religion : my faith is important to me and youth ministry has a huge place in my heart
