Editor’s Note

Happy New Year (two months early)… {getting the positive momentum, fired-up and running}.

As I have confessed before, I have mixed feelings about participating in the winter holidays. It is a good time to gather with family and friends… to take a moment and think about the trials and tribulations I have endured… to reflect on the wonderful experiences I found pleasure in… like when I visited recently my grandson, Adrian, after two years. It was heavenly, just to be with him, again... finally. Celebration time, reflection time, and gratitude time. This is what the end of the year means to me.

Of course, the terrible feeling I get, this time of year, comes from …knowing that innocent and charming animals are “being murdered” for the sake of ‘cruel traditions’ …that are feeding human-appetites. While carnivores are celebrating with jubilation, they are feasting on the massacred bodies of fellow sentient beings, …breaks my heart and makes my soul sad.

At this time of year, yes, I feel impelled to: …encourage vegans… to encourage non-vegans, …to become vegan. It is an overwhelming caregiving\mothering impulse, that I feel on behalf of animals. So, here it comes- I hope that you will …help to inspire, engage, and educate people, so we can end that ‘cruel tradition. ’ Show non-vegans, that celebrating with dead bodies on their plate, …it means they have been brainwashed and lured, deceitfully, into unkind and barbaric habits. Our food traditions must change. We must choose real food… food that honors all life, while giving life: …plants… plants are the food that Nature is providing for us, right out of Mother …upward, from Earth, herself.

Please share vegan whole-food plant-based recipes with anyone and everyone. Cook it up and share it, with the recipe on the gift card. Share it on social media. Let’s overrun the media pages with- nutritious life-giving vegan plant-based food-inspirations.

It takes ‘all of us’ to keep the progression of veganism growing. We must share the vegan message, which is: compassion and love; those virtues might be easier to spread-around… if the food is pure (simple yet enticing; & deliciously nutritious)…… because- people love to eat. And why not? Thank goodness that… Vegan Food is not fake. For goodness' sake… literally… Vegan Food is a sacrifice of, neither: meal-satisfaction; nor bodily-vigor. Vegan food is- all that food should be… perfection.

‘Working together’ …we can create, perfection… a peaceful vegan world.

As always, if you want to contact me, I’m here to help. ((heartnsole3@yahoo.com))

Cook with Compassion & Eat Without Violence!
