Introductions - Why Vegetarian?

I had a special bond with a calf that I raised as a child, and was always a guilty meat eater. About 15 years old I was learning to golf at a course next to a packing plant. Watching the cows in th...

About Me:
What of me... I am first and foremost, Kylie, my 7 year old daughter's Mommie. She is what makes the world right for me, even if in it's current situation it doesn't. I am the saver of the "lost cause" as can attest my shelter dog, Jackson, and my Taco John's adopted cat, Mystery. I live in the a conservative RED State of South Dakota, so a down trodden fight is always easy to find, especially if you are a vegetarian, human & animal rights advocate, tree hugger, pro-choicer that also protests War. My husband of 20 years is the best tolerator of my causes (most of the time).

I love hiking and exploring nature. I marvel to find peace, the simplest things, the sun shining on my face.

In this community I have found home and acceptance! Namaste!

Sacrifice in the name of compromise

Today is one of the over the top days that I would like to scream. Dealing with constant hunting stories, mountain lion's season in the Black Hills, the deluge of cattle trucks I see full and empty every day and living with meat eaters is over the top to an emotional explosion. With every story and witness to the horror of the animal sacrifice is taking a huge toll on my vegetarian wellbeing.

Living in mainstream in meat eating world South Dakota, is the

I can't wait for the day when my path turns toward the many pleasant goals I have set for myself to enjoy. I'm still encountering 'beginnings' and folks that only 'might' like to get more involved. One such turn almost began last week, when a vegetarian approached me to see if I'd be interested in talking about the BUEC.

I hope you're finding your 2008 path a lot more recognizable, a lot more meaningful and a lot more productive.

Peace.

I saw that you're a member of the "Vegetarians Love the Environment Group." so I wanted to personally invite you to a new group I created called Veggie Cars

My goal is to simply field questions people may have and share my first hand experience in using biofuels.

Friends, it's really important that the whole membership be aware of the following discussion here on fungevetarians.com: Click here >> www.tinyurl.com/32hm8h

Don't be left behind! Your input will directly affect the future of our budding community.

Not enough of the site membership is participating in this vital forum. WE NEED YOUR INPUT NOW! Please join in the creative group brainstorming & weigh in with your constructive feedback. We need to breathe new life into the site name change discussion, it's getting stale in there (no offense intended to the pro-active members who are graciously & actively brainstorming ~ it's simply that we need some new blood in the mix to open up the discussion more.) Come submit some fresh ideas! ... Otherwise we'll be stuck with a URL that makes us sound like a veggie dating site... yikes!

Please do your part to help get the word out ~ send a message to all your friends here at funveg! (Or whatever the heck our name is...!) We're solid in our identity as a thriving new community... we just haven't figured out what to call ourselves yet!

And while we're at it... please >> join the Veggie Connection group! The goal is for this group to become the biggest here on Veg*n Exchange, and to become the #1 group for interaction between members.

Spread the love ~ please pass this message on!

Namaste Wendy,

I'd like to invite you to join a couple of discussions: One is >> The MYTH of “FREE-RANGE” EGGS. My post contains vital info that your veggie & non-veggie friends might not know about... even you might be surprised! Please spread the word & also add your thoughts to the discussion.

Another discussion is titled “Getting the message out” please >> click here. I’m inspired to encourage people to join this particular thread in the hopes that they will reply very carefully to the original discussion post, which opens with the line “I feel the subject of preventing animal cruelty im(p)edes the Vegetarian/Vegan message rather than helps it.” I hope you too will feel inspired to add your thoughts to this delicate discussion. Please invite your friends to join in so that we can bring more light of wisdom to this sharing!
Love & Light, Kamaniya Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
