Friends not food! I’m fortune enough to have a grocery store close by that sells fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, grains. If I have the choice, I’m not choosing meat. I’m going for beans, peas, tempeh, or tofu for protein. I love the whole-food plant-based diet – tons of health benefits and eco-friendly! Here are some of my notes on the affects of industrial animal agriculture. And more about how plant-based diet protects wildlife. I’ve been following this since 2017 and am loving it! Here’s my good eats album with all my food pics, enjoy (-:

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
It really depends on the time of year! I love the beach during the summer months – laying out all day with a cooler of snacks, a good book, and my hubby! Maybe a cold six pack and a long sleeve for when the sun starts to set. Then in the spring and fall seasons, the mountains are perfect! Ideal camping weather. Even in the winter to hit the slopes and snowboard. I guess I love both really! I’m making beach and mountains trips a priority in 2026 by planning my Kevin’s rule now. Good vibes only! Sending many blessings your way!
What are your family’s top 3 favorite meals?
Our house loves rice, beans, and veggies! Cook em up, season to perfection, and eat up taco style, maybe make some quesadillas, or a classic rice bowl. Pita bread always hits and I love making homemade honey mustard (spicy brown mustard and pure maple syrup) or bbq tahini dressing (bbq sauce & tahini). We try to keep the diet whole-food plant-based (90%) and check all labels (like for the mustard and bbq sauce for example). Quality vs quantity. All vegan diet, limiting process foods, emphasizing plant protein, fibers, and minerals. We also love a night out to local vegan restaurants as a little treat.

Do you trust your instincts?
Absolutely. If there is a gut reaction to something, my subconscious mind is telling me something. Usually the first few thoughts after a gut reaction tells me if my pain-body was triggered or if this is a spiritual message. If I am getting a flash back to the past, my pain-body was likely triggered. If I am getting warning flags, I am taking those seriously. A warning flag could be a sign to fine tune alertness in a particular area. Is there a lack of communication, are there negative thoughts, is there actual danger or just imagined danger? This is an opportunity to grow. I trust that I will do what needs to be done in the moment with faith, strength, bravery. In that I know and believe. In the meantime, I’m staying alert and aware, resting in states of acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm. Working to improve without pressure.
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?
I love October! It’s not too cold, the leaves here in Philly and up the mountains in PA are giving major fall foliage – AND it’s my hubby and I’s anniversary month! We usually hit the city for a date day or go on a camping trip. This year we went to Blackwater Falls State Park in West Virigina and Hyner Run State Park in Pennsylvania with our pup Champ! 3 nights each park, ssso much fun!!
