V – Validate your choice by learning all you can.
E – Enjoy the adventure: have fun with this; we’re lucky to know about it!
G – Get to know other vegans, thru conferences, MeetUps, making online friends.
A – Add more than you subtract: new foods, new dishes, new activities, new places to shop — Going veg should make you happier every day.
N – Never forget the animals: If you’re doing this for your health, good for you — but there are lots of opinions on health. Reverence for life, on the other hand, isn’t an opinion based on one study that could be invalidated by the next; it’s a living ethic, a way of being that will enrich your life and cultivate your soul.
I love this Victoria! I’m going to paste this on my blog’s facebook page right now. I’m truly enjoying your work as the Main Street Vegan. As a health coach, I’ve recently committed to work primarily with women who are transitioning into a plant-based diet. I’ve been teaching plant-based workshops at Pure Yoga, and this Saturday I’ll teach my first vegan cooking class at Whole Foods in Tribeca! I’m so inspired by your work. Thank you for being the accidental advocate that inspires so many of us : )
