Do you long to consider your health, the planet, and the animals as you create your festive Thanksgiving experience? Me, too!
Here are a few sustainable and compassion-filled tips:
✨ Try these yummy vegan pumpkin scones (even I can make them, so they’re easy!)
✨ Adopt a turkey
✨ Compost things like veggie peels, tea bags, coffee grounds
✨ Donate to a local food bank
✨ Volunteer to deliver food to those in need
What are your go-to ways to spread compassion this time of the year?
I know some of you may be curious about eating more plants as a way to heal our planet, stop factory farming, and get more nutrients into your diet. I’ve been veg since 1999, am obsessed with animals, and, as you know, pigs and pugs have my heart (hello Pigs & Pugs Project).
I love what this lifestyle has done for me and my health. And I also know that the holidays can be a challenging time to practice mindful eating. I mean, pumpkin pie! Personally, I like it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but I digress.
Savor each morsel. Surf the urge on that fourth piece of pumpkin pie (speaking from experience). Rest when needed. Listen to your body. Be gentle with yourself and others.
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. May we spread compassion, practice sustainability, and live tranquility.
This season, I’m particularly grateful for YOU! x
