Hello World!

       


"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different." ~ Hippocrates

I remember reading these words while in college, and I never realized the impact they would have on my life just a few years later.  They replayed over and over in my head as I sat and watched the documentary Earthlings.  It was this movie that opened up my eyes to the world of animal cruelty, and that ultimately helped me make my decision in becoming vegan. 

Of course, becoming vegan would impact my health in a positive way, but that shouldn't and wouldn't be the ultimate factor when I chose to adapt to this lifestyle.  I wanted to become a voice for the voiceless. I wanted to make a difference in those beautiful animal's lives. It made me feel good at the end of the day to know that I was doing something in my life, to help save their lives.  They mattered.  They matter.

So here I am today, a 30-something year old wife and mama from New Jersey.  My family consists of my husband, my daughter, a Pug and a kitty.  You can usually find me cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, when I'm not busy running around being mom or anything else I do in my crazy life.  

A while ago I decided that I wanted to write a blog, I just couldn't decide what to base it around.  Now I know, that here is where I will be a voice for the voiceless. I will invite you into my family, my heart and my mind.  Here is where I will share with you recipes, ways to become an advocate for the animals and tips on becoming vegan.  Welcome to my world, I cannot wait to share it with you all!
