Today, You Could...

Start that vegan blog you've been meaning to.

Make your first (or hundredth!) vegan meal for you and a friend to share.

Tackle that Isa Chandra Moskowitz or Sarah Kramer recipe you've been dying to try.

Sign a few petitions for animals.

Make a petition of your own. 


Choose to forgive yourself and start again, if you've been trying to go vegan and have been slipping. 


Spend fifteen minutes researching reasons to go vegan if you haven't found enough yet.


Congratulations!
Today is your day.

You’re off to Great Places!

You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself 

Any direction you choose!

- Dr. Seuss

Plant a veggie garden if you have a backyard, a patch of grass to call your own, or even a windowsill.

Listen to a vegan podcast.

Become a member of Animal Acres.

Become a member of Farm Sanctuary. 

Become a member of Mercy for Animals.

Become a member of PETA.

Put down that glass of cow's milk and never look back - here's why.

Give a friend a hug, tell them you love them, and treat them to a soy latte at your favorite veggie friendly coffee joint. 

Carve out time in your schedule to finally make that trip out to your local farmed animal sanctuary.

Spend ten minutes meditating, praying, or just sitting and listening to that still, small voice inside for ways to help animals this year.

Plan a vegan potluck. 

Better yet, plan a 4th of July "No Meat and Mingle" vegan BBQ.

Swap out your scrambled eggs for tofu scramble - here's how.

Hug, kiss, and cuddle with each and every one of your companion animals. 

Hold the door open for the person behind you, smile at them, and tell them to have a beautiful day. 

Start your vegan pledge and commit to it. 

Buy and stick a vegan-friendly bumper sticker on the back of your car.

Start penning your own vegan cookbook. 

Take a deep breath, and make a promise today to honor the animals - and yourself - with every choice you make. Choose compassion. Choose kindness. Choose love.

When you make loving others the story of your life, there's never a final chapter, because the legacy continues. You lend your light to one being, and he or she shines it on another and another and another.
