About
Celebrate the fact that we can choose what we want to eat when we want to eat. Celebrate that readily available to us is a wide variety of produce as well as lifestyles to choose bits and pieces of to make use of that produce. (want to go raw? I could tell you about a fabulous restaurant in NYC. . .) At parttimevegan, we say anyone and everyone go ahead and celebrate choice. And add a dash of open-mindedness to that choice and voila! Parttimevegan or one who is a little veganish.
Vegan-ish: The art of incorporating aspects of a vegan lifestyle into your own to enhance your body, mind and attitude. However, it doesn’t stop there. It’s a lifestyle swap geared towards reducing our individual energy consumption, promoting sustainable and local produce and wares, and enhancing our lives by feeling incredible, looking even better and exceeding the expectations of the best damned machine ever built- our bodies.
This is neither a political movement nor one that stresses strict activism. My thought is that by simply incorporating little adjustments to one’s lifestyle, we can gently yet firmly begin to change course- adding more organization, prosperity, financial freedom, energy independence and healthy glow into our lives.
I’m an ‘aspiring’ vegan (can we ever really be 100%?), as of September 29th 2009. Three years ago, my last meal on Earth would have been anything off the menu at Peter Leuger’s. Now, it’s Brussels Sprouts and shallots with a drop of cognac, a grilled veggie panini with hummus and balsamic or anything from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World!
A SCUBA diver, chocoholic, mommy of two and married to my best friend, I find inspiration in many places.
BEST RECOMMENDATION: Read The Alchemist. Twice.
FAVORITE DIVE SPOT: Palancar Gardens- Cozumel, Mexico
HOW TO RE-IGNITE YOUR VEGANISM: Really look into the eyes of a cow residing on an animal santuary. They are such regal and loving animals- you will be overwhelmed with respect for life.
