Starting Again
Restarting my commitment today. You see... the production of Mamma Mia consumed my life. I was luck to get energy for something, sometime during the day. I didn't exactly go crazy. I just wasn't as mindful as I should have been, and had been in past year. I still was eating a plant based diet. … Continue reading Starting Again
Wrapping up September with Plant Power
People still look at me funny when I say I choose not to eat meat.; that I do eat an occasional egg and have even had a little yogurt or cheese here and there.

Keeping it Healthy… almost?
Monday plant eating opened with some of the best black berries I have ever eaten. I got them at the farmer's market. I think they called them triple berries. Whatever they are called, they were so juicy and sweet. I ate 2 boxes. That led to my down fall of eating a few potato chips.… Continue reading Keeping it Healthy… almost?
