Hello Alkaline Angels!
I took a new direction with today’s vlog because of your wonderful suggestions from last week! Our focus this Friday is the fuel we put in our mouths each day. It’s a big topic to cover in one vlog, which is why it is twice as long as usual–and I only skimmed the [...]
In 2007, I was the NYC Farm Sanctuary Walk for Farm Animals coordinator, and my activism was officially transformed forever. Then, in 2008 — while I was on staff at Farm Sanctuary — I was the national Walk for Farm Animals coordinator, overseeing all 60 Walks throughout the US and Canada. Both experiences were like [...]

I can’t believe I’m at this point, folks…
On August 31st, Steve and I will be making the cross-country move to the city of angels – otherwise known as sunny, warm, car-happy Los Angeles. I’m filled with a bittersweet mixture of emotions at the moment over it all, but I’m also completely at peace with the [...]
