A normal person would keep a cohesive blog that covers every aspect of their life. Not Melanie, or “Neko” to those who lust me. I had to start a blog for every facet of my life. Before you know it, I’ll have 100 blogs. Sure, this being wordpress, I could create a theme that feeds different categories posts to specific pages and only log into one WP dashboard, but that sounds like work… or preplanning.
Anywho… this is my VEGAN BLOG. I know. Crazy. Bet you didn’t know I was a vegan!? Well, I’m not. Not yet.
I’m trying to get prepared for my new life as a vegan. I’ve been reading books, compiling personal resources and working on my shopping list for my new lifestyle. I want to go into this new chapter in my life as prepared as possible. And to tell you the truth, I am not daunted at all.
At the start of October, just a few days from now, I plan to start my vegan diet. The reasons for this are many. First of all, I am housesitting til the end of the month and don’t have access to my own pantry. Secondly, I find that making a lifestyle change and sticking to it is easier when you map things out and can set concrete goals. A specific start date is a very concrete goal. I read somewhere that November is supposed to be a Vegan Month, but I can’t wait that long. I feel like the preperation/research phase is coming to a close and I am eager to get on with it.
Interesting, October is is the Vegan Month of Food, or VeganMoFo. It’s a (now) annual blogging event organized through the the Post Punk Kitchen as a kind of Vegan slant on the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). The purpose of VeganMoFo is to write about Vegan food for a month. You can oin the official list and other VeganMoFo readers and writers might visit your blog. They might not. Who knows?
Will I be joining the VeganMoFo? Of course! Of course, this being a Vegan blog it would be more like the VeganLiFo (Vegan Life of Food).
