It's been well over two years since I first started this blog. Nearly two years have elapsed since my last post-which was about soy yogurt;which by the way I am still eating. Everyday, religiously...in a smoothie with my organic gluten free hemp protein and some frozen berries. I am oh-so-lucky to have a work environment with a fabulous top of the line VITAMIX. So I have the luxury of having my noon smoothie once a day. Often with a serving of matcha thrown in the mix. MATCHA I owe you an entire rant about this stone ground fine substance.
Without a doubt I lost track of time. But certainly not heart. I have been continuing my veghead journey still and am oh-so-fortunate to share it with my favorite person in the world. Since my last post I have met the most beautifully open minded human I could have ever stumbled upon. James is my partner through this journey called life and we are so blessed to share our lives with each other. ok almost done with the mushy goodness.
He is relevant to this blog and to my journey because he is the personification of hope for our modern day society. He is bonafide proof that absolutely anybody can enrich their life through a plant-based diet and consciously green mind.
He was the meat and potato eating, beer drinking "blue collared" heteronormative drum banging metal head (joethrasher.com) who never in a million years thought he would become a vegetarian.
That is of course until he fell hopelessly in love with a veghead girl (MOI!) who just happened to be incredibly savvy in the kitchen.
It is 100% true that you can win over the heart of a man (or woman) through their stomach. He began to feel the difference as toxins left his body and were replaced with energy and wholeness.He sought out the basic 101 of our commercial food industry which sealed the deal for him and his journey into vegetarianism.
His awakening is due to a mind which was already open and thirsty for truth. It is a sad fact that this mindset is not the norm amongst the masses. Most are happy to eat their shitty A&W CHUBBY CHICKEN burgers,thankful that factory farms do not have glass windows. Because if so were the case then they would be forced to cut out the crap, get involved with their universe and have some creative fun in the kitchen. (It really is that easy.)
We live in a society of fear and laziness, so counterproductive that we're missing out on our full potential. That is our ability to function as a harmonious collective. A HUMANE existence, not restrictively a HUMAN one.
The expectation of my role at work is to be a source of knowledge and communication to the customer, to facilitate in them a desire to understand their bodies with love. To feel a connection between themselves and our planet deeply rooted in ritual. I get to meet a lot of people in a day. I have many conversations with strangers about health and wellness and I often learn a lot on the subject from them. (I am also at times completely flabbergasted by some perceptions of truth-but we've got lots of time and blogspace in the future for such tales.)
Dialogue is key here, and we've got to use every ample opportunity to speak the truth.
MEAT EATING IS NOT FUNCTIONAL.
Over the past two years I have met a number of new vegheads whose journeys into a plant-based diet are not unlike those of my partner's. I strongly believe that not only should we all be eating this way, but we are all completely capable of doing so. Regardless of lifestyle. Regardless of status quo. Regardless of how much a pound of carrots costs in comparison to a pound of ground beef.
The original purpose behinde ThymeBomb is still as relevant NOW than it was when I first created this blog. I look forward to sharing and learning more through this fourm.
I hope you stay with me.
