: About Me

There's a lot to say and so little space...so many things make me "me". I've been a vegetarian for 16 years, I love animals (especially cats), and I am an avid photographer and painter.

My mom lost her battle with breast cancer when I was 29 and I found myself questioning what life was supposed to be about. I had a well-paying job that was very stressful (and thankless), and I owned my own home and a car. I suddenly realized that in the grand scheme of things, none of that really mattered. You can't take any of that stuff with you when it's over.

So I sold my home, quit my job, and moved to an island in the Caribbean. It was something that I had always dreamed of doing. That was a huge turning point for me. I came to appreciate the simple things in life, and I was truly inspired by everything around me. I got serious with photography and I started writing.

Instead of emailing jibber-jabber to my friends and family I wrote philosophical anecdotes to accompany my photos that I uploded to the internet, which they could read about.

Along the way, I was told by several people that I had a gift of writing that I should pursue. And so, here I am.

Scrambled tofu is the vegan answer to scrambled eggs. It is a great way to get animal-free protein at breakfast time (or at any meal) no matter what your dietary preferences are. The key to making a great tofu scramble is to use medium or medium-firm tofu as it has the perfect texture for this dish. And always go with an organic brand to ensure your tofu isn't made from genetically modified soybeans. If you like your tofu to be a bit chewier you can freeze it and thaw it. 1 16oz package, medium-firm tofu 1 tbsp olive oil 2-3 button mushrooms, sliced 1/4 cup onion, sliced 1 clove garlic, mi...
