Dear reader, I have reached the point where I must ask the question I know we are all secretly thinking about all the time. Which is: WHY ARE VEGANS SUCH LYING PESTS? I know that sounds intolerant, or even downright offensive, but come on. It’s just not right that those elitist, unwashed, tree hugging,...
Reclaiming Magic and Wonder
Recently I saw a post on Substack that asked “why life couldn’t feel like childhood book illustrations?”. As I have often thought and wished for the same thing myself, it prompted alot of thoughts in me and inspired this post. I’m reading alot of posts lately that speak of people’s longing for a return...

The Secret to Eternal Youthfulness and Health
There are alot of videos online on the topic of longetivity, and news reports as well. It’s definitely a trend and focus of today. We marvel at Asian 50 year old mothers who look 30, 90 year old marathoners and 78 year old vegan bodybuilders. We may wonder is it race, or economics that...

How To Do a Proper Vegan Cleanse
A juice cleanse isn’t cleansing, it’s fasting. Fasting isn’t really healthy unless you’re overweight or unhealthy. The purpose of a cleanse is to rid your body of the toxic “foods” people eat. This includes salt, sugar, vinegar, yeast, alcohol. And for non vegans, animal products as well. Traditional Yogi fasts also prohibit onion, garlic,...
Feelings
Sometimes people just want you to roll with life, it or whatever it is, even if you can’t. Feelings are like a wheel. If normal and undamaged you can roll along nicely whatever the terrain. If they are damaged and warped then rolling along is difficult or even impossible. To get moving along you...
The Fairy Diet
I love fairies and consider myself a fairy person in my flights of fancy. So after being inspired by a fellow vegan, fairy person on Twitter who is battling an eating disorder, I have came up with a diet that will hopefully satisfy my imagination as well as my appetite, as boredom is my...
On Writing Your Memoir
I’m currently in the process of writing my memoir. This is a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I am also currently attending a memoir writing course at the University of Toronto. I am learning alot through it. I think its a good idea for any writer to take...
