Why I Started a Blog

Throughout my school years I enjoyed creative writing. When the teacher assigned an essay or poem, I was all for it. Term papers were another story. I didn’t like spending my time putting in a bunch of footnotes as to sources. I just wanted to write.

Then along came my whole food plant-based way of eating. I saw such dramatic changes in my health that I wanted to share this way of eating with others. My weight went down and my energy level went up. I found such mixed reactions to my enthusiasm about having changed what I eat. Some people wanted to hear more while other people dismissed me as a crazy vegan.

The more I learn, the more I want to share. I have friends and family who complain about this or that health issue that I’ve read or seen a video on. So many of those health issues could be eliminated or helped by switching to a whole food plant-based diet.

This way of eating has been proven to reverse heart disease, reverse type 2 diabetes, eliminate arthritis, and so much more. I encourage you to do your research. I am not a medical doctor. But, I am an avid researcher on things that I do in my life.

So many times when I talk to people about this way of eating they tell me they can’t do it. There’s a difference between can’t do something and won’t do something. I suggest that anytime you say “can’t” you need to ask yourself if you should be saying “won’t”.

Here I hope to share with you what has changed in my life. I’ve seen an increase in energy, many “issues” have lessened or gone away. I’ve definitely changed the things I cook and I’m eager to share with you.

From time to time I’ll share recipes, tips, gardening, and other personal experiences. Any suggestions for topics are truly appreciated.

Eventually you will see links on my blog to items I use and you can purchase. These will be affiliate links where I might get paid a small commission, but it won’t cost you extra. A girl has to make a living somehow, right?
