Tomorrow, at 9:30 AM, there will be a rally held in Mamaroneck. Check below for info and join in the justice!
From Facebook:
"Dark Skin ≠ Looking Suspicious but Mamaroneck police seemed to think otherwise. Luis Quiros, local activist, community organizer, educator, and author, was considered "suspicious", harassedm and arrested--for sitting in his car in front of his home? Please see the above link for more details a...bout Luis's experience."
"IN RESPONSE, we will be showing up for his court date. It will be Feb. 28 9:30 at 169 Mt. Pleasant Ave., Mamaroneck, NY 10543."
"This will be a peaceful and nonviolent rally. We will be holding signs with messages like, "Dark Skin ≠ Looking Suspicious" and "Dissent is Patriotic" etc."
Today, I visited a friend on the upper west side of Manhattan. We walked and talked about the various cool things NY had to offer as well as matters of the heart.
As we continued our journey, we found a great restaurant called the PeaceFood Cafe. There, we ordered sandwiches and aweome Chic Pea Fries! Yum!
At PeaceFood Cafe, all of the delicious foods are animal and animal secretions free! Yup. Everything on the menu was vegan and very good, in all aspects of the word. So not only did the food taste great, but it was good for the heart!
My favorite person who speaks volumes on vegan issues, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau recently posted on FB a heartfelt message. It read, "We tend to indulge in rich, decadent, animal-based foods when we dine with our beloved on Valentine’s Day. Ironically, the heart, the symbol of this romantic holiday, is the organ we stop from beating in animals, whose flesh and secretions we then then serve to loved ones, which in turn hinders the blood flowing to our own hearts. For the sake of our loved ones, our health, and the animals, choose life-giving rather than life-taking foods."
My friend and I parted after our scrumptious meal, and I headed to the subway. There, I started to think more about the foods I eat and the reasons why I am a vegan. I think choosing to be vegan was the best choice I ever made, however staying vegan sometimes gets difficult. Today, it was easy.
So when I got home, I decided to jump start the compassion in my heart by watching a few videos on youtube about veganism. My heart skipped a beat when I found an interesting video about building muscle as a vegan starring Noel Polanco, a vegan male fitness model (see below).
In his video, he describes his typical breakfast and dinner as well as offers a sample of his workout routine. You might want to check him out below as well as like his page on FB.
My heart is now racing, and probably beating a little healthier after a great day visiting with a friend, dining at a great restaurant and feeding my soul with the awesome choices I make to stay on the vegan path.
May joy fill your heart so that you can love more deeply.
The snow is falling in NY today and that might cut into some holiday shopping with Valentine's just a few days away. Many people shop for various gifts during this time of year for their partners. Many people go for the flowers, chocolate and jewlery, while other people go as far as to buy expensive underwear from high priced stores like Victoria's Secret.
Well, have you ever wanted to really get to know a Victoria Secret Model? Perhaps you have been itching to know the truth behind the camera?
Well, you are in luck!
