My (troubled) beginning

Hi, everyone! I'm so excited to be able to start sharing what I've been up too in the past year!

As you can see at the description of the Loving Life website, I've begun this journey through healthy, simple, vegan and more sustainable living about a year ago. 

It wasn't because I wanted to change my life. It simply happened... and the way that it did was so natural that I believed the right way that I was aligned with my soul.

I think I was always conscious about those values in my life. I'm a daughter, a wife, a mother, a teacher... and applying them was the correct thing to do, however, in the past year, every time I saw any articles, videos or something related to those values, my focus was on and I started absorbing so much information that my mind was beginning to conflict with my actions.

It started with the health...

I don't like coffee (yes, I'm one of those people)! But ever since I've had my second son, nothing seemed to get me through a working day, and I didn't know anything better.

That was when I came across "macrobiotic people". Through a course of self-development, there were a few colleges that were doing the Macrobiotics Cours at IMP, and they introduced me to a new world. A world so different than the one I lived all my life in, a way of life that listens to your body and improves it. It was mindblowing but it still wasn't my way. So, I continued searching.

Last summer, I discovered (in the middle of tons of information) Sustainably Vegan and I loved her videos and what she was doing. She is a vegan, environmental activist that inspired me to change my path.

I started with breakfasts. Oats and so many fruits, seeds and nuts I could find. For about a month I haven't drunk a coffee in the morning because I was satisfied.

That it began the question that strikes at the bottom of your conscience: Should I give up animal food? But that doubt left me immediately when I saw the documentaries that showed the massive destruction of the planet by engaging in that market. My belief in living a better world, a legacy and setting an example for my children (mine and others) were my motivation to take action.

I'm now vegan because I believe that it helps to contribute not only to myself but as a part of helping our world.

I try every day to set an example, especially to my amazing boys, so they can see that is not impossible for one person to make a difference because it really does.

Hope you are loving life like I am.

Kisses,

PG
