I'm a vegan, dancing, violin playing, wine and beer (gluten-free, not by choice) loving force of nature.

I'm trying to make my way through this life with as much compassion as I can muster while having a good time! I value life and I feel a sense of duty to leave this world better than when I came in it.

I am vegan for the hungry--if we all ate a plant based diet, there would be less hunger in the world because we wouldn't be using more than half the food we grow to feed more food for a tiny portion of the world's population while the larger part of the world starves. I am vegan for the animals--I believe all creatures have the right to live a life free of suffering and that humans have grossly overstepped our boundaries a
