This week marks my 40th birthday. It's been 5 years since our plant-based path began and the more time that goes on the more grateful I am to have found it. It's left me:

• excited to grow older
• more in control of my own health
• with a lot more energy
• with a great pregnancy and my 5th son
• with increased mental clarity and emotional resilience
• with easier cooking!!

With all of this I believe the best thing we can do is to love ourselves exactly how we are and make change and improvement out of our own love and appreciation for our individual gifts. It can be easy to believe "I'll be happy when . . . " but the truth is that when we love ourselves exactly where we are at, we gain traction to make real progress.
