Becoming More of an Actual Family Lifestyle Blog
Vegan Family Living started with the vision of two people wanting to talk about how their family lived and followed a vegan diet. However, my husband Rupert has been working hard to help our family survive, so I had to move things around a bit.
In April in an effort to help bring us out of the hole we were in, I decided to start a writing business. I have been writing for over 26 years but I did not want to make a full fledge business of it because my writing started out as such a personal therapeutic journey for me. But I finally heeded the voice that told me for the last two years to two years to start a writing business. The Natural Writer was launched with clients waiting for natural health and living writer to help them with their content needs.
Do You Think Outside the Typical Food Box?
Last week’s VFL Podcast was an interview with my husband Rupert. One thing he said made me ponder a few things. One of those things was my own ability to think outside of the box.
Let me explain what I mean by that.
When I started me transitioning journey to a vegan diet, I was stuck in the way I cooked. It made it difficult for me to make a meal, but I was who I was and I was very resistance to change.
Tell Me Thursday
My Tell Me Thursday story about my Wordless Wednesday is all about SOUL!
As an African American woman I grew up on my momma’s and my aunt’s soul food. My daddy could throw down too!
When I began the transition over to a vegan diet, I was not quite sure how I would manage cooking the soul food I knew as a little girl and even a grown woman. I did not try for some time because I did not want to ruin my reputation as a good cook.
Vegan Family Living is an Inspiration
It is 4:40am and I am up and working. Why? Well, to I won’t go into all that. Let’s just say I have a bit of insomnia today. So I will most likely be taking a nap at about 10:00am once I have gotten the kids settled for the morning.
In my early morning internet hopping, I decided to open up my Netvibes page and went to the feed page to listen to some podcasts. As I looked around to see what I wanted to listen to, I saw a post that caught my eye. Chele Niesler of Moms Loves Shopping wrote about why Vegan Family Living inspires her.
