Hi , 
                                                                                                                  January 17, 2013  

There are those of us who sometimes complain when we can't find the exact blend of brown rice. Or a  papaya that is just the right degree of ripe.

 

Guilty - that was me today.

 

We forget - too easily, don't we? - that there are people with far greater challenges when it comes to simply getting good food on their plate. 

 

People who,  for one reason or another, find themselves without team support, or in financial hardship, making it a little less easy to fill the fridge and stock the pantry.   It can often be an excuse to just give up on healthy ideals and eat whatever.

 

Yet there are those who, even in the face of adversity, lead by example, showing  us a better way.  When I got this letter from D'Ann, I knew I had to share it with you. 

D'Ann and I met during the recent giveaway contest of a copy of  Fit Quickies:  5 Minute Targeted Body-Shaping Workouts that was held the first week in January over at the Plant-based Junkies blog.   D'Ann won the drawing, and once I met her I knew the book win couldn't have gone to a more deserving heart.   Here is D'Anns story, in her words:


Hi Lani,

I've been on the "Plant Based Journey" for a few months now, and I must say it has been so HARD! My family acts completely confused by my new eating lifestyle, not knowing what to prepare for family gatherings. My brother, an athlete himself, thinks I'm nuts. My husband breaks into a sweat thinking someday I'm going to take away his beloved meat from him. He's made it quite clear that this is a path he has no interest in taking, and although my kids have been supportive, they act disgusted by the food I'm trying to introduce.

Just a quick story about how I've been encouraged to stay on this path.
