If I were a dairy cow…
If I were a dairy cow, I would be pissed off Mother’s Day and every day. As a new mother, I have never been able to relate to their plight more than I do now. Creating new humans is an experience coveted in our society; one that is of profound importance. People go to great lengths for the ability to bring children into this world.
Me and my precious, vegan baby.
And yet humans turn around and...

Pot belly pig sanctuary
Josie with Ellie, the one-eared pig.
I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about pot bellied pigs. I really don’t. I know people keep them as pets. I’m pretty sure most people don’t eat them. I know they’re not raised on factory farms. What I didn’t know is that they have many of the same issues dogs and cats do in our disposable society. Recently my friend Linda...

Guest House Granola
Many years ago I stayed at the Greeley Guest House in Greeley, Colorado. I was on a business trip and fell in love with this quaint retreat. I felt like I was right at home. Especially when I went to the lobby for breakfast and stumbled upon the best granola I’ve ever had in my life. A lot of their guests must think the same thing because they have the printed recipe right next to the granola...

Animal research I can support
I recently read an article in the Translational Genomics Research Institute’s (TGen) newsletter that surprised and even shocked me. TGen is a non-profit organization dedicated to medical research. You would think that they use vivisection in their studies so I have been keeping my eyes open to their projects, their studies, and the results they release: one, because I’m interested in medicine...

Vegan Pregnancy
I truly didn’t intend to be such a slacker. I can not believe it’s been months since my last blog post. The honest reality is that life became overwhelming for me very quickly! I am now 6 months pregnant with our first child. I spent the first few months being terrified about what this meant to our comfortable, fantastic, adventurous life. I have since come to grips with the idea of being...

Pomegranate: Finally delectable vegan food has moved into Ahwatukee
I’m so thankful to Phoenix Magazine. The writers/editors have this amazing way of keeping their finger on the pulse of what’s going on in all of the greater Phoenix area. Recently they had an article about the best neighborhoods in Phoenix. While our little neck of the woods didn’t make the list (that’s ok because it is perfect to me), the highly-sought-after Ahwatukee area...

A Cattle Ranch With (gasp) Happy Cattle
Happy cows on John's ranch.
Life has been quite busy lately. I was hoping that many of you wouldn’t notice my absence but many of you have said, “Josie! What’s up, I don’t get your blog anymore.” Here’s why. As of January I started going to school, volunteering heavily in a political campaign, becoming partner in a weight-loss business, all while running a thriving...
