New Years Update Part 1…Early Roadblocks!

If only the scale was an ATM that gave you cash based on the number that appeared 😉

I kind of feel like a person who moved into a new house…I now have my own domain name but yet everything is so different.  It will be a matter of time that I will get used to the new look, the new blogging program (WordPress), and definitely the updated business cards I have.  I gotta thank my husband Chuck for getting all of this off the ground so easily.  Without his know-how and his mad editing skills, I don’t think this site would look as nice and professional as it does now.  Eventually I will want to tweak things along the way (first on the list is a Vegan Resource page!) but like any person in a new house, the changes will be many until things feel just right.  Now onto my first week….

The Veganbowl!!!

If there was a contest of cheesy blog post titles, you bet I would win first place!  But before I start, I just recently noticed a rather large surge in followers, subscribers from all sources (Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc.) and I would be lying if I said it didn’t bring a few tears in my eyes.  Even though this is not a job that brings me a paycheck, but it is nice to know that I am doing what I love and other people are enjoying it in the process.  Not many blogs I have read even talk about the increase in their audience but I felt I needed to because it’s all of you who keep me going and inspire me to talk about more topics.  My dream is to one day be able to travel and talk to other people, especially families about making the transition into the vegan lifestyle.  So for all of this, I want to thank each and every one of you!

The Clock is Ticking…

I am overwhelmed by the responses I have been getting since I came back from my 2 month long blogging hiatus…But now is a great time to get down to business!  As 2011 passes us, I know some of you are striving to go vegan or some of you are already vegan but wish to drop the extra pounds.  I know the last goal sounds silly to some of you but despite popular belief, there are overweight/obese vegans.  Let me break it down to all of you in a way that the newbie vegans (and even the vegan old timers) would understand…

Picking up the Pieces…

It would be easier to say I had writer’s block but that wasn’t completely the case…To not sidetrack too much, I’ll give you the short version.  What most of you may not know until now is that I had some personal events in my life that made me want to lay low for a while.  If there is one regret I have this year, it would be that I let this blog go unattended like I did…Recently I realized that this blog took off the way it did for a reason and it’s a good enough reason that I need to pick myself up and remember those I lost recently and make that the strength to keep everything afloat.  I’d like to thank my family (especially my husband and daughter), all of my friends (both near and far), my church family, and those random strangers who I inspire for helping me through what seems to have been a really rough patch in my life.  But as the saying goes, there is always light at the end of the tunnel and I have a lot of exciting things to share with all of you…
