Dedication

I would like to use this page as a sort of dedication to a few folks that have made this possible for me, make me strive to be a better person on this planet we call home, have shown me what true strength is, and those who, in the future, help me along this journey I call life!

My Mum

She has been my #1 cheerleader my entire life!  Not sure how I got lucky enough to get to call her Mom.  She is my rock, my cohort, my Superwoman!  I could not / would not be the person I am today without her push and her understanding nature.

I look up to her everyday for her strength and compassion after everything she has been through, heck, everything I've put her through!

My Son

He is my light that I eagerly wake to every morning!  He is truly what keeps me going every moment of everyday.  I decided long ago to never allow him to believe that hard work will not pay off, this is what pushes me to continue to try and excel at everything I do and hope to do!  There is not a day that goes by that my little monkey doesn't teach ME something, or remind me what really matters in life, I could never repay him for what he has done and continues to do for me!  I am optimistic that as I continue my vegan journey, I can help show him how to eat healthier (even if it's not vegan) and be the happiest "himself" he can be!

My Grandmother 

I wasn't given but a short amount of time with my grandmother, but I enjoy thinking that in that time, we were quite close.  She is one of the big reasons why I am so interested in the link between a plant-based diet and Cancer as she was the first person I can remember seeing fight that awful disease.  My fondest memory is eating tomatoes with mayonnaise on them with every dinner while watching Looney Toons!  She helps me to remember that it truly is the little things you do that matters in life.  I don't remember once hearing hatred in her voice, I have been blessed with a wonderful angel watching over me!

My "Adopted" Grandmother 

She is an amazing lady, to say the least!  From the moment I met her, I felt as though my mom and I had always been a part of her family.  The fight she has taught her family, she is the epitome of the backbone of a family!

She is my "final straw" to choose to make this blog and maybe help someone choose, for themselves, a way to be healthier and happier and maybe avoid having to watch so many loved ones fight so hard.

I love you all to the moon and back and then some!
