I'm about to turn 44 years young. My vegan story: I grew up eating meat, my dad was in the meat business. I married my vegetarian honey and still wasn't a convert til one day about 8 years ago I was searching for recipes for him online, and came across footage of animal slaughter...went vegan on the spot. Life hasn't been the same since. I recently moved to PA for a new job, and wound up moving my mom in with us. She has midstage Alzheimer's. Every day is different but seeing her laugh brings me joy and me laughing makes her happy - win - win situation right? She likes some raw foods, but mainly junk food and cooked garbage. I'm smart, funny, romantic, loving and emotional. I love people. I love figuring out what makes us tick as humans and I love to root for the underdog.
Relationship Status:
Married

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world". IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU
We had the same experience with viewing a video with footage of animal slaughter, changed our world completely as well! We were just in Philly- Took our mom to Carlise (her hometown) and where we spent many summers! Being in PA last month was our first girls trip together- so incredibly special, then onto NYC!Thanks for writing Take Care
