Live Your Life With Purpose

Kathy shares her personal story of sexual abuse. For Kathy, the betrayal ran deeper because when she finally found the courage to start speaking out about what her abuser did to her, her family responded by labeling her a liar and a troublemaker.

Kathy didn’t stop speaking out though. In fact, she spoke out more, eventually becoming a powerful voice in the nine year campaign to get both the criminal and civil statute of limitations extended for child sex abuse crimes changed in Massachusetts. On June 26, 2014, the day the civil bill was signed into law, Kathy was finally able to file suit against her abuser.

Romy discovered her love for cooking after going vegan in 2014 and has since spent more time in her kitchen than anywhere else.  When it comes to food (and also life in general), she believes that balance is the key – that’s why she creates delicious, heart-warming recipes with a healthy twist. It’s important to her that food brings that satisfaction through flavour and texture and she, therefore, spend a lot of her time in the kitchen testing, experimenting, and developing tasty dishes to share with you all.  She believes that everything is possible in the kitchen and there’s no missing out on the flavours and textures you love the most.  

Whether you are a fitness fanatic, want to nourish your body with all the healthy food, or like to stick to the comforting foods that you’ve always known and loved – there’s something delicious waiting for everyone on her blog and you don’t have to be vegan to enjoy some mouth-watering plants.

Most people use OCD as an adjective, I know I have in the past. I'm grateful to talk to Harper who opened my eyes to understanding the true debilitating disease that is OCD. OCD is something that Harper has always had to deal with, thanks to a recent surgery her quality of life has improved.  She still deals with this on a daily basis but now she is able to keep a positive outlook on life.

Harper thank you for sharing your story with me and for helping others!
