Uncertainty // Day .34

I can't believe I'm starting 2017 with so much uncertainty. I'm just keeping my faith knowing there's a plan. While I was reading my devotional for the day, it mentioned that He has designed us to have no sufficiency of our own. That for me saids a lot because it's true. We are not sufficient on...

A Look Back on 2016

I wouldn't say 2016 flew by as quickly as 2015 but hey I had the most fun this year and met the most amazing people. Though I've done more in 2015 (lots of minor things) and a couple in 2014, this was the year I traveled the most and explored veganism. So what have I done this year? 1. Attended...

Little do most of you know, my attempt to veganism started a while back but failed a couple of times because I wasn't educating myself properly. I don't know why chickens are not meant to be eaten or why people could eat more calories on a vegan diet and still stay slim. (There's a science behind...
