13th day- I declare Wellness NOT war

It will be 13 years next month that I have lived a vegan and/or plant based lifestyle. It was introduced to me in High School by a classmate of mine who decided it was the best way to lose weight for prom. However, it became an interesting lifestyle to live and led after I was given a vast amount of information via articles, papyrus (scrolls), books, etc. while attending the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff as a member of Ipet Isut Institute, a local and international study group and more. 

Then, it was solidified after a visit to Georgia with that same classmate I spoke of earlier in the year of 2006, July 7 that I made up my mind that I was becoming a vegan and going to live a 
healthier lifestyle. 

Picture it... Marietta, Georgia July 2006, I was battling with letting sea food go for the last 3 months and ordered an appetizer of clam stuffed mushrooms at a diner in Marietta and soon after I completed my appetizer 
I threw it all up. 
That gave me the confirmation and strength to let seafood go and 
I did... COLD CLAM... :) 
If I see something disagrees with my body to that degree I have no problem letting it go especially if or when I know there is something better to partake. 

Although, I have had an up and down relationship with being vegan and living a plant based eating lifestyle. It has been the best most revealing and rewarding experience and influential years of my life.

I have been a fat vegan and not P.H.A.T. (Pretty, Hot, and Tempting) in college when I was not aware of the more healthier foods to partake and ate vast amounts of pastas, vegan processed foods, and at vegan restaurants without moderation.

I have been a skinny vegan and smaller than I have ever been in my life. Since, I have always been a little chunky and as my older sister would say a chubby cuddly teddy bear sometimes when we were younger, I was at times worried but I continued with my journey and began to embrace my body even more.

Then, there is the middle heavy weight vegan champion I am now... :) which, my younger sister says is thickness... 
Whichever, I am at peace with myself but do look forward to releasing some weight this summer... 

Moreover, in the last 13 years I have learned so much about my body and how it reacts, relates and refreshes with each food or nutritional supplement I partake and/or intake. 
I have been divinely inspired by the mental clarity and power this lifestyle has brought and continues to bring forth in my life. 
I have cured myself of anemia and long painful moontimes (menstrual cycles).
I have lived not just a healthier or natural lifestyle by my change in food intake but with my every 
thought and action. 
I work hard to maintain an environment conducive to that lifestyle as well... Gardens are my best friends! I am humble and give MUCH thanks for the will 
and the vessels that make it 
possible to do so.

With that being stated, this 13th day I remember and declare WOMB wellness NOT war with my womb self and the wombs and men who have maintained and continue to work hard to live a healthier lifestyle for our future generations to see... and know that they do have choices! 

It is most about our future generations and our future environment... 

Ase', Amen, Awomen, Bless it be, So be it... 

Peace to the Power 
and 
Power to the Purpose... 

Be WOMBderful (Wonderful) WOMBniverse!
