CPVegan-Carl from Carle Place: Thanks Gemma!!

In response to my last post, I received comments from the author of the vegan blog, "Invitation to my Vegan Journey"!! Use the link to the right to get to know her and share in her life's journey.
And, of course, read what she had to say below.

Use Your Head (strong, poignant words of advise off the pages of Skinny Bitch)

I've created this as a test for a continuing POST series. Here are the words from the savvy gals looking to help us to stop eating crap:
"...there's no point in being gorgeous if your life is a mess. End your co-dependent relationship, quit your dead-end job, and ditch your toxic friends. Make a list of goals and start chipping away at them. THIS IS YOUR LIFE! Live it to the fullest with reckless abandon. Seize the day. And do it again tomorrow. Live. Go get your dream job. Search for your dream man. Fear nothing. Try everything. Be excited. Dance. You'll never get yesterday back, but today is yours for the taking. Make it great."

If anyone would like to borrow my copy of this book, please notify me. In the meantime check the GoVeg.com website.

I'm listening to Mattafix's "Living Darfur" off the Trip-hop Radio section of http://www.last.fm/ as I write this.

FROM THE BOOK- ADVICE FROM A FAILURE

You do not need to be loved,not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship truly central and crucial to life is the relationship to the self. It is rewarding to find someone whom you like, but it is essential to like yourself. It is quickening to recognize that someone is a good and decent human being, but it is indispensable to view yourself as acceptable. It is a delight to discover people who are worthy of respect and admiration and love, but it is vital to believe yourself worthy of these things. For you cannot live in someone else.You cannot find yourself in someone else.You cannot be given a life by someone else. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never leave or lose. To the question of your life, you are the only answer. To the problems of your life, you are the only solution.
