Hi,

Been vegetarian for 11 years and vegan for a year and a half. I've needed a little vegan support network and lo and behold, alicia's book came out. Thank you. And thanks for this online community. Hard to find in my small mountain town.

So... HI!!!

Nice to meet you. With being a Veg for so long I'm sure you'll be able to give the rest of us a wealth of information. Welcome to The Kind Life.

Hi everyone! I just recently decided (about a week ago) to make the switch to a vegan lifestyle. I have dabbled in the veggy diet a few times since college, but after reading The Kind Diet I felt really inspired to take the leap! I know this is the right decision for me...for my health and my support of the environment.

Oh, so nice. And even nicer to hear people call me by my nickname (real name: nicole) since my lil' old italian grandparents call me that as well. *sigh

Hey Im Jennifer from Illinois and I'm not really sure how this computer blog thing works but I'm trying my best! It's my first week as a SUPERHERO and I'm loving every minute! Iv'e been a Flirt for awhile but have been so inspired lately! Just looking for encouragement along the way...its hard when the ones you love begin to think you have a "problem" and just don't want to hear it :(

Hi all! Just signed up and am in the middle of reading Alicia's book. Been a vegetarian off and on since I was 15 (18 years ago). Feeling very inspired by the book but also scared to death about making the leap. Mostly probably because I'm afraid of losing my social circle and never being able to eat anything when I go out with my friends. Food is such a part of our lives, right? Anyone else feel this way????? Any insight!
