When you are clear on who you are and what you stand for nothing is difficult. It's just your life.

For some being vegan means arming themselves with facts and figures. For some it means knowing everything there is to know about protein, calcium and iron. Some are vegan for health reasons, some for compassion reasons.

For me, it's all these reasons and more. For me, veganism is about thinking outside of your own needs, seeing a world beyond yourself and opening your heart to compassion, empathy, and understanding.

I am confident in my choices. This is a lifestyle choice I made for myself - not so I'd be cool, or fit in. It's a compassionate lifestyle choice that I made to feel comfortable being myself.

I will not apologise for my opinions. I will not be a shrinking violet in the face of adversity. I will do everything I can to be the best vegan I can be. Everyday is a new opportunity to make a difference. Whether it is a small or large contribution, it all adds up. - Sarah Kramer "La Dolce Vegan!"
