Happy World Vegan Day!
World Vegan Day is an annual event celebrated on November 1st, by Vegans around the world. The Day was established in 1994 by Louise Wallis, then President and Chair of The Vegan Society UK to commemorate it's 50th anniversary.
I'm constantly asked why I am vegan, so I thought I'd share what led me to live a cruelty free lifestyle. My upbringing definitely sparked and shaped my path to a healthy vegan lifestyle. My parents really fostered a non judgmental household filled with encouragement to always follow my heart, and to be kind to others and the world around us. We always had lots of pets; we were known around the neighborhood as the rescue animal house. My first dog was a wolf my Mother rescued and he was like another member of the family. Building the bonds I had with all my pets I couldn’t imagine eating a living thing. I’m vegan because I strive to live a peaceful and healthy life. I believe we take on the energy from the food we eat, the products we put on our skin and the clothes we wear. I consciously make peaceful and loving choices every day. It’s pretty amazing to wake up every morning knowing that every decision I make is to cause as little harm as possible.
