I couldn’t possibly think of a better time to write – to reflect; when the sun begins to fade and the day draws to an end. When you take the time to stand – even sit still for a brief second and absorb the chaos that surrounds you, you realise how significant pauses like these can be when reflecting on moments past gone.
Trials & Tribulations

There comes a time where friends become family, negatives become positives and hope becomes reality. You’ll find a way to overcome any obstacle – even the ones that seem simply impossible. You’ll face challenges which will test your strength, your capabilities and your worth but will provide you with the ability to turn disappointment into potential opportunities.

This isn’t going to be one of those stories where I write about the time I watched a troubling documentary and deciding I wanted to become an animal rights activist nor is it a story about bearing witness to harrowing images and being convinced that “vegan is caring” by a very persuasive Facebook video. This is a REAL story about a REAL experience I once had in the fall of June last year which changed my life in many ways. This is my vegetarian story.
