Change. It's the only thing that's constant. And yet it's also the hardest thing to do. Or is it? Maybe change is easier than we think. Maybe all we need to change is our minds and the rest will follow. When I changed to an animal-free, plant-based diet nine years ago, I was worried that it would affect more than just my plate. I thought it'd put a cramp in my style, my social life and romantic relationships, that going veg would take too much time, and ultimately be unfulfilling. That limited belief turned out to be a scary, small feeling—'not a fact. In reality, the simple act of changing my plate, change my life for the better. My overall health improved, I met and married my soul mate, changed my career, committed my life to helping others, negative relationships ended and healthy friendships began. Overall, it was a win win situation! Oh, and forty looks pretty good when you're plant-based. I'm just saying.

It may not seem like it, but even making the smallest shifts—like eating an apple everyday—can have a huge impact on your health and well-being. Kathy Freston, author of Quantum Wellness, talks about how to make these tiny changes in your life.

What strength and courage you have! I found myself in tears trying to put myself in your shoes wondering where you found both to help you go on. I was left speechless by the turn of events. I was one who thought stage 4 was a death sentence. But, it seems that in your case, it was a new beginning. Thank you for sharing of yourself with us/me. I have listened, seen and am questioning myself...a good place to be. Gracias.
