Editor's Note

Happy 2022 VEGWORLD readers!

With a new year comes the sense of renewal, a fresh start. It can be easy over time to feel discouraged, to wonder if we are making a difference. Why not, then, take the beginning of this new year as an opportunity to practice mindfulness. To be mindful of how we treat ourselves and others. To be mindful of the food that nourishes our bodies and how it came to be on our plates. To be mindful of how compassion can make all the difference. Veganism is so much more than a diet. It is a philosophy, a way of life, one that benefits greatly from the practice of mindfulness. Through mindfulness, we can begin to understand ourselves and those around us better and become more attuned to our personal ideals and ethics. In this issue of VEGWORLD Magazine, we get a peek at just a few examples of how those in the vegan community are using mindful compassion to move the vegan movement forward. From vegan food festivals boasting the latest in vegan eats to vegan travel destinations, socially conscious businesses, and, of course, delicious recipes from amazing vegan chefs and recipe creators - I hope this issue shows how many ways there are to make a difference in this world so in need of more compassion. Whether you are a seasoned vegan or just starting on your vegan journey, welcome! We are honored to have you here with us. Here’s to a bright 2022!

With warmest wishes,
