Hi! My name is Wendy. I am a Midwestern girl from the Show Me state who recently turned vegan. In no particular order, I love libraries, books, reading, cooking, eating, dancing, practicing and teaching yoga, and drinking tea. I want to share my story including all the trials and errors as I explore my newfound vegan eating pattern and show that being vegan doesn’t have to be complicated. I like easy, no frills cooking that throws together ingredients I already have on hand to create tasty and nutritious meals. I hope you’ll find some inspiration or useful tips here that will improve your wellbeing and your connections with others!
Mission
Inspiring people to embrace a plant-based eating pattern and vegan lifestyle.
Compassionate
Compassion is the guiding force in all that I do. Compassion for humans, compassion for animals. Knowing that we are not perfect, but always striving to live in a way that causes the least amount of harm and always working to do better for each other. Understanding and recognizing that we all have our own pain and struggles that may not be visible to the observer and therefore suspending judgment and instead extending compassion to all beings on this planet.
Sustainable
Sustainability is a top priority that I continuously try to uphold as much as possible. Working to reduce my impact on the planet by eating in the most sustainable way possible, avoiding consumption of products that use unnecessary packaging and waste, prioritizing spending more money on companies and products that seek to reduce their impact, and continuing to educate myself so I can do better tomorrow than I did yesterday.
Healthy
Health in both mind and body are integral to my goal to spread love and joy in this world. I strive to care for myself so that I may enhance the lives of those around me. I work to allow my body and mind to operate at their best capacity by properly fueling the body and exercising the mind so that I can use my time wisely and hopefully have more time in this life to spread this message.
