I'm finally AWAKE!

(I posted this in the wrong place originally. oops. still navigating!) Alicia! My savior! ;p I made your pumpkin bread and cranberry sauce today! YUM! Tomorrow I will try the cornbread and Thanksgiving tofu. Grandma is in for a surprise! This will be my very first vegan Thanksgiving. I made the switch less than a month ago after watching the documentary "Earthlings." I just couldn't bring myself to eat meat anymore, but didn't know where to go from there. So I made a trip to the bookstore, and there you were staring me down, daring me to buy the book that would change the rest of my life forever. My family was VERY reluctant, but after forcing my husband to watch the documentary too and reading "That's Why We Don't Eat Animals" by Ruby Roth to my kiddos, my whole house has committed to do this with me! That's 5 new vegans in the world, my friend! In the mid-west, at that! Wahoo!
Congrats, and good luck on your journey!
I am so happy for you, hopefully someday I will have a similar story. For now my family is ready to linch me.. and they have seen the videos but do not care. Five new vegans that is reason to celebrate.
