Finally, though not vegan-related, I just have to share a beautiful post that my cousin-in-law, Emily, wrote this week. She is a talented baker and started blogging at Pie-Eyed last year. She writes a series called “Pie it Forward” and this week wrote about sharing her love of baking pies with clients at a homeless shelter. I hope you read it – it’s lovely: Pie it Forward: Family Promise.

My friend Ginny Messina takes on PCRM: More body shaming to “promote” veganism. Bravo, Ginny, bravo! Speaking of body shaming, it’s spring and that means many of us will be bombarded with messages like “Get bikini-ready!” or “Get skinny in 15 days!” because, you know, we aren’t lovely just the way we are. Well, I am. Are you? Are you happy with your body right now? Submit your story today!
