I don’t know how my birthday came so quickly! Surely another year hasn’t come and gone… I feel like life is speeding up so fast and that I will never fit in everything I want to experience. (which is the ENTIRE world, by the way!) I never would have imagined that I would give up consuming animal products, nor could I have expected my life to take the path that it has. Even through all the hard times, I wouldn’t change anything. I have overcome some major emotional hurdles this year and have more self worth than I’ve had at any other point in my life. For that I am grateful.
I barely made this post I missed making this post on my birthday as I was off having a very special (and crazy) night with some of the most important people currently in my life. We ate at the most fabulous raw, vegan restaurant in St. Augustine which I will have a whole post on when I finally get caught up. I’m about to curl up and read a couple pages of one of my presents “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle” before passing out. For the most part, it has been a wonderful day.
My mom made this and sent it to me today. awwww
And my 24th birthday picture..
oh! side note! I was absolutely thrilled today when my site mentor, Erin, at Healthy Start and my co-worker server, Charisse, brought along the whole office crew to deliver a vegan birthday cake to my desk. I was told that they called all over the city trying to figure out how to get me a vegan (NOT vegetarian as many of the places kept asking) cake. I truly am thankful for all the amazing people in my life.
