@ Kathryn – It’s all about baby steps towards being who you want to be. That’s what we’re all doing, just baby stepping forward. That’s all we *can* do! Good for you for being so mindful. You’re going to LOVE Portland. =)

Luck!

Oh geez. Now you’ve made me more anxious to visit! This fall I’ll make the trip up for sure (from California).
Yeah, having a father who is full-blown-as-Greek-as-you-can-get and is always making little comments about how delicious the lamb is, etc. and a mother who is fairly sure I will not feed myself properly is a tad grating. But I eat vegan when I can, vegetarian if not vegan, and chicken only if my parents make it for me. So I’m doing my best. :)
There is so much inspiration here; you will definitely be seeing more of me.

@ Kathryn – Portland is an AWESOME city – for many reasons – but especially if you’re interested in veganism! There’s a huge community here, and tons and tons of amazing restaurants, plus vegan grocers, co-ops, coffee shops, and a badass farmers market scene. Definitely something to consider when selecting your school destination. =)

I definitely understand about having an unsupportive family life. It’s hard, but it’s great that you are still keeping your eye on the prize, so to speak. In the mean time remember that you may not be able to eat vegan all the time (at home and stuff), but you can definitely make sure that your personal dollars don’t go to support inhumane industries in food or when shopping. You still have a lot of power, and every action adds up!

I’m so glad you like the site. Hope we’ll see more of you!

Hi, I just stumbled upon your site (literally! thank you firefox add-ons!) and I love it!
There are quite a few colleges in the Portland area I’m looking at so it’s nice to hear such positive discussion about the city. I’m also an aspiring vegan so I was really excited when I saw some of your recipes. Currently, my family is a wee bit, err, completely dead set against me going vegan until I leave for college, so I always get a happy tingly feeling when I find a blog that indirectly encourages me!
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I adore your site and am looking forward to future posts.

P.S. – Best of luck with your body/soul cleansing. A friend of mine did this a while ago and absolutely loved it.
