Dear Diary, Something Shifted & I'm Suddenly Vegan. Are You as Shocked as I Am?

Dear Diary,

So, I’ve been vegan before from six month to two year stretches at a time. As you know, because you are all-knowing, it’s been for health reasons. Motivations were wanting to feel better physically. It would usually take me a long runway of time to get ready for the transition.

But this time? It happened overnight. Actually, it was almost instantaneous.Something shifted inside me and I thought: I can’t eat anything animal anymore…because I love animals. What in the world?!!! It’s amazing and also so different from how change usually happens for me.

A few days after this shift, I went to a friend’s birthday party. In the past, as a vegan, I might’ve bent the rules and eaten a bit of his mom’s homemade (meat-based) food. This time I couldn’t even consider that as an option.

So anyway…this is a whole new journey. And honestly…it feels way easier than any choices on my food path previously, because it’s not a question, it just is!
Are you as shocked as I am?

Dear Mudita,

Yeah, I know, I’ve been watching this unfold and it’s just rad, girl! You go! While it seems like it was an overnight decision this is actually a lifetime in the making. Have fun with it. Think about all the new people you’ll get to meet because of this and all the new recipes to try. Plus, you can feel really good about following your internal compass!

Have fun baby girl & love you,
