My vegan surrounds with tasty food all the way

My vegan surrounds starts with regular easy everyday  tasty Vegan meal high in protein and nutrients just like this.

 When we Surround  our selves  with a cruelty free life style, it can be quite liberating , specially when  we  feel the tremendous injustice towards the  killing, and horrific harm caused every second towards innocent creatures . For those who also 

  feel along the pain of the sentient beings , the pain of the destruction of our planet , our health and the negative impact towards the world humanity 

 due the greed to exploit animals for profit, being vegan will only make a lot of sense .

Making sure to have the  ingredients necessary to make a  
 variety of everyday tasty easy vegan meals at home.

Homemade Vegan burgers . Just as tasty .

Once we start to making a connection to all beings, the ones in the ocean and in the wild, we start to feel a huge feeling of respect and love to all   and it leads the  need for us to  speak up for their suffering as well, just like for  cats, dogs, farm animals, and we start slowly adding   them all to our big heart of an animal lover and desire justice for all, for the entire animal kingdom, the entire miracle of life in which include us. Making the connection , and vegan surrounds is believing that we are all the same. We are all miracles. 

Being vegan is not a diet, is a permanent change for those who truly see animals as sentient beings and have the right live just like us . Being vegan is not being superior as I hear that statement quite often from no vegans , but it might be a statement from those who are debating with their consciousness and not with vegans  . Vegan is a new term , it stared in 1944, as more informations stared to become more available , more people stared to gather and putting the puzzles together ,and today many are able to be vegan with no drama, not struggles , even if we are far from being the majority and the media will never show or talk about it, since who pays them are the very profitable cruel food industry. It makes easier to be vegan these days since we are no longer caveman , and we understand what choices we can make, in terms of food , and today we have a better understand about nutrition, a must say a much better understanding.

The evidences on animal cruelty in which leads the damage of our health , environmental and world hunger are everywhere , so it will be quite difficult to create any type of debate or conflict with the ones who are vegans and did their homework . Well, vegans are not a threat to others who are not vegans , there is no need to feel uncomfortable  against the ones who choose to live a life rejecting violence towards innocent beings . 

It is quite easy to be vegan in terms of eating and purchasing products that doesn't exploit animals .Being vegan is not a challenge for those who strongly  feel the injustice towards the animals . Being vegan is far from  being weak , it takes a lot of strength to stand up for what most think is crazy or being very judgmental about something that is simple. 

"One must be brave not to take advantage of not to have to take advantage of the weak in order to survive. The weak is the one who take advantage of the weak , it is not the other way around".

The so called strong by humans, will find ways to don't take advantage of innocent beings to make it though their human greed and false reality of what wealth is .

In order to have a healthy vegan mentality, is necessary  to identify those who are judging you for being vegan and creating unnecessary confusion. It is important to  understand that if individuals judge you for speaking up about  veganism like is something out of this planet or it is negative, crazy and so on , just think of  what else  what else they will judge you for ? Staying way from unnecessary negative judgmental of you being vegan is a must, you do not need relationships that judge you for being vegan , because they will judge you for any little thing. 

The most fascinating thing in life can be the freedom to be our seves , do not miss that chance to be your self  , surround you selves with people who doesn't judge for who you are. 

Simple advice; "When things get frustrated; surround your self with tasty vegan homemade tacos like these " . They are easy to make it and tasty 

"Your journey as a vegan in this world has a bigger  positive impact then the negative useless  judgements  about Veganism"  

Staying focus and positive is part of being vegan. 

Here are some images of my simple daily vegan routine, which involves easy home made vegan meals, the love for my dogs that are great reminders that they are just like all animals and they also loves vegan food for dogs. They are also great reminders that many dogs are without homes, many dogs lives miserable lives in cages and are abandon   everyday they remind me the importance of awareness of spay and neuter and adoption. Having dogs and cats many times can be our only contact with animals for the concrete jungle we live and for many not having  the opportunity to interact with farm animals who  can have the same emotional and type of love and intelligence that dogs and cats does. They can be the bridge for us to make the connection to all animals, most of the time. It was not my case, but for my husband it was.  The fact that they can also be omnivores or live a happy healthy life as vegans as well  makes us think. Today there are reliable  vegan dog food for dogs and cats due extend studies . 

Being vegan is not all about food, the exploitation and cruelty towards animals, goes further to furnitures, cars, cosmetics , clothing and so on. Being consciousness as cruelty free consumers are a must to do not collaborate towards  animal cruelty. There are plenty of cruelty free products, it is just a matter to know about it.

Making  a plan , knowing what to eat, which is basically not animal products or flash, it can be simple and not so mystify as being crazy , since real food doesn't come from animals. It is amazing what you can do with grains, vegetables and fruits. 

Allowing the food to  become our  medicine will lead only to benefits and no harm to any of us.

My own private Vegan surrounds includes , visits and support local Animal sanctuaries , it can be an amazing experience , I recommend to all do it .Animal sanctuaries can be a place to connect with others who share the same beliefs in which is to to live in a cruelty free world ,   meeting other who feels the same can be enlightening a breeze of fresh air.  Mostly, feel inspired by people who dedicate them selves rescuing animals , get educated , and take care of them by giving the proper care that they deserve, not to mention the incredible experience to interact with lovely farm animals and understand their unique intelligences.

I became more outspoken , about my views once I stared to meet the crew of the CatSkills Animal Sanctuary and their lovely rescued animals , including a lovely cow named Tucker, who truly stole my heart, for being the biggest sweet funny baby on this earth.  I do like to talk about this organization that are doing a tremendous job rescuing these animals, offering educational animal tours and more. Places like that are a must in our societies .and being able to have them around is a huge blessing. .

 I became a regular visitor at the Catskills Animal Sanctuary in NY State  , and meeting the animals , the volunteering and the amazing founder gave  the strength to keep living the way I always had believed is the right way to live, which is not contributing to any form of animal cruelty, and that we are truly all the same. I know many just see these farm animals as food and the majority  see a world completely different then I do. But I only wish  one day I would be allow to show the beauty and freedom to love these animals in a point where we do not need to eat them, not to kill them,and last take everyone to hear their pain and their fear in the slaughtering houses . For now , I am the only one who can be the change . One by one, one day, one day...

 Vegan tacos with veggies, a must have for vegans and easy to make it. 

 Regular visits to the CatSkills Animal Sanctuary  'CAS" NY with my dogs and husband. Visiting this organization helps me to understand how important the vegan life style is towards the world we live . They had helped me to understand my individual whole . We all have one whole as a vegan in our societies and the situation we are in it. 

 Always making pasta with no animal products in it, homemade sauce with a variety of avocado and veggies salads, gives me that vegan strength and tasty daily positivity .

 How can people resist so many types of fruits smoothies that are possible to make  with not dairy milks? Knowing that dairy is evil just lead to tastier and healthier drinks like these made with almond milk .Having Almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, rice milk and fresh fruits around are a must. 

Always have reliable vegan snacks for my dogs and cats and give them the ultimate love that they deserve like all animals do.  Embracing the unconditional love with the animals we have a home can be the bridge to love all animals. Knowing about homeless dogs and cats are a must also, the adoption option for dogs and cats are there ; knowing that the lack of  spay and neuter are the cause for homeless dogs and cats ,  and also the surrenders from families that no longer want take care of them . Once we have dogs and cats they  become our  responsibility, it is not that they are our property , but we need give them the best life in which the modern  jungle doesn't allow them to have, which is  safe walks, food, shelter and mostly be their family. Animals are like us, they have this huge sense of   family. Dogs are a great exemple, they want to be  with us 24 hours, if we have them in our homes , make them happy, make sure they know they are family. imagine the same with other animals, not only dogs, they also have the sense of families like cows per instance, they do love their babies , and the meat and dairy industry separate them which leads to great pain..cows are just like dogs , they feel, they can bond with us and others also  . Go vegan, do not support an industry that separate baby calfs , piglets from their mothers and families , hurt chickens in a barbaric way , kill fishes .  Animals are all the same. We are all the same. There are so many other types of tasty food we can have that are not animals.

Eating fruits and not animals is much better then food with cruelty in it.

Although I haven't taste any animals since I was a kid    , I know for a fact how tasty a fruit can be , and how sad would taste a piece of an innocent being . After being only a vegetarian for man years , and learned to live  without their products , milk , and cheese and so on and finally had become full vegan a few years ago. I surround my self with fruits a, no dairy milks and more .

Choosing cruelty free make up and products always --- saying  no to animal testing . Being cruelty free , either cosmetics, food, furniture, shoes, purses and do on. Being a consciousness vegan consumer is easy when we understand what is vegan, or how to track down products with cruelty in it.

I always look forward to hear from the animals and go back to visit them. It is fascinating to see them living the life that they deserve, and mostly it feels great to see in person their affection towards us, their responses and so on. I always feel like to hug them and keep talking to them, they do listen .
