She now has a face!
The Plant-Based Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide for Transitioning to a Healthy Lifestyle and Achieving Your Ideal Weight now officially has a front cover, six months to the day from release.
This week also marks the last few days
that I can make any changes in the manuscript.
I’ll just have to resist my urge to pile in more content – as it is I had to trim 10,000 words from the original! So much to talk about, bring to light, and share with you about this wonderful way to live.
The Promise of Living Plant-Based
Plant-based living carries more than just the promise of easily achieving your ideal weight – as in the title of
Journey.
It also has to do with healthy living – also in the title – on multiple levels. There is a harmony of living, a match with the sense of integrity that comes when you are doing your best to make the world a better place by eating low on the food chain, curtailing environmental degradation and avoiding the messy set of circumstances that comes with eating animal products.
It can seem difficult to make a difference when it comes
to these issues. But this one, simple thing you can do – eat a plant-based diet – is also the biggest impact you can make on all of them. And it’s easy and delicious to achieve. And that, of course is what Journey is all about.
It’s Mbegu’s Birthday, too!
As it so happens, today also marks the first birthday of the first orphaned elephant we fostered, sweet Mbegu – who we were able to meet and spend time
with when on safari in Kenya last summer.
A favorite in our plant-based posse, I’m so enamored of Mbegu’s charms – and so deeply concerned about the plight of the elephants – one of my recipes in Plant-Based Journey is named after her: Mbegu’s Spicy African Peanut Sauce.
