Sometimes it takes a firm and decisive reality check to shake us out of deeply ingrained habits. Five years ago, Lily Miss Sunshine and I were asked to endorse Compassion Over Killing’s #VegWeek. At the time, I was still vegetarian, convinced that was enough of a stand against the violence and injustice I abhorred. I’m grateful that it was pointed out to me by friends and fans that I was actively promoting something I hadn't fully adopted myself. This much needed lesson in the importance of walking the talk was exactly what I needed to jolt myself out of my complacency.
From then on, I began to investigate the horrors of the dairy, egg, leather and wool industries and eventually determined that exploitation of any shade or color didn’t sit well with me. Lily and I have been vegan now for nearly 5 years and my only regret is not making the switch sooner. It’s never too late to adopt healthier, kinder habits. In fact, even though Veg Week is in full swing, it’s not too late to sign up for free now at https://vegweek.com/endorsers/.
Where are you on your journey now? Confused about how to get started? Struggling to stay on track? Even if you’re vegan already, sign up to reaffirm your convictions and stand in solidarity with our animal friends.
Leave me a comment below to tell me you’ve signed up so I can provide encouragement and advice. You’ve got this! 🌱💚
