Resuming a Vegetarian Lifestyle




For about a week or so, I’ve resumed my vegetarian lifestyle from 20 years ago.  It feels good!  I was thinking about writing about it yesterday as I made delicious potato soup with celery, garlic, onions and malanga for creaminess.  It was so wonderful, nutritious and comforting…no one eating it would miss meat at all.

After only experiencing life for one month, my little body rejected milk.  My mother had to puree vegetables and fruit for me to consume.  I grew strong and resilient to the woman I am today.  However, I’ve always faced problems with diet.

Many times in my life my body has rejected meat.  I either feel better reducing my animal protein intake or ultimately avoiding it completely.  Somehow, it feels healthier and more comfortable for me.

My body has been going through a major healing experience.  An injury has forced me to get chiropractic and massage therapy.  I have also added a supplemental fruit and vegetable program to my daily intake.  The mixture of these changes and my mental focus on being healthy has brought me back to my vegetarian life style.

It is amazing how every change catapults other changes ultimately allowing the true nature of balance and health surface.
