FAMILY

I am passionate about my family! They are the reason that I place self-care as a priority. I want to be around for them and leave a legacy of health and vitality. I want to play with my grandkids without being limited physically. I realize that I only influence people, including my family, with my example. Thus I choose my habits wisely, realizing that my habits determine my life. I choose to take care of me. I choose to love my family by loving myself enough to do everything within my power to maintain my health.

This is me hanging (literally) with my granddaughter Aviana. My family brings me such joy!

Me and my best friend, husband, and business partner Tim! He is the wind beneath my wings! The fulfillment of my dream would not be possible without his encouragement, belief in me, creativity and love!

Animals

I love animals! My husband Tim and I have 3 furry kids - two dogs, Dexter and Stella, and one fat cat, Molly. I hate, yes I said hate, the way animals are raised for food in our world. They are not treated as live beings, but as things. Companies subject the animals to horrible living conditions and inhumane slaughtering methods. There are more than 56 billion animals killed every year in the United States alone for food, not including seafood.

I have been plant-based for 40 years which means I have saved about 8,000 animal lives so far! That is something that I am proud of!

I urge you to check out what is happening to the animals that end up on your plate. If you are OK with the way they are treated and killed, then that's fine. I just believe that you should be aware of the truth. When you partake in anything, you give tacit agreement. "Know before you agree", don't you think? People believe that ignorance is bliss. It isn't! When you consume these animals, you absorb the negative energy of these tortured creatures. I am suggesting that you decide if that's what you want to do beforehand. You vote with your wallet. Make sure you are voting for something that you agree with!
