This week we are discussing how I made the decision to go vegan. I share with you how I never thought it was possible but now I have been vegan for over a month now!!! Thankfully I am pretty good in the kitchen so the transformation hasn’t been too difficult for me. I fully express how going vegan has provided me with lots of energy and clarity within my day to day life. I vulnerably share that in the beginning it's not going to be perfect, but you get to have grace for yourself! It’s a journey, not a destination.

Some benefits include lowering the risk of disease, increased longevity, lowering the chances of food allergies, and more! There are a lot of important things to note when you decide to go vegan though. Start slow!!!! Slow and steady wins the race! It requires careful planning to be a vegan to ensure you are getting all of the nutrients that your body needs. You may need to add additional plant-based supplements into your diet. If that is the case, be careful to read the ingredients and if you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out!

Bible verse highlighted: Colassians 1:10 “Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” This scripture speaks so much truth because if you are living your life according to God’s will and doing everything in your power to honor and please God, you will learn to know God better. This is only going to transform your life in so many ways you do not even know are possible.

Grab your herbal tea, hot lemon water, or mushroom coffee and enjoy the listen!
