Fri, 27 Jun 2025 09:07:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.34 By: Maria Theresa Maggi https://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/2020/02/14/anniversary-note-to-the-ones-i-love/#comment-42939 Mon, 02 Mar 2020 17:52:32 +0000 https://fatfreevegan.com/slowmiracle/?p=8273#comment-42939 Thank you so much, Gena! It’s one of the blessings of this blog that through it we have become such dear friends. I’m so honored that my phrase “Healing and strength and even success may not always come in the package we are taught to look for it in” might find its way to your clients as well. And yes, here’s to many more years of writing and creating for all of us! Much love to you xoxo

What a wonderful post and tribute to your blog and the community it has created. It’s an achievement to bring people together, and you’ve done that by being the loving, generous soul that you are and also by speaking your truth honestly and enthusiastically.

I’m always impressed by the way you talk about healing, both with tremendous hope and also with the willingness to accept what life gives us. “Healing and strength and even success may not always come in the package we are taught to look for it in” may very well become a motto that I print on paper and hang in my office as I meet with clients 🙂 It’s a phrasing that we could all benefit from, no matter what we’re trying to heal from.

I’m personally so glad and blessed that blogging brought us together as friends years ago. And also happy that Susan had something to do with our paths crossing, since she’s a person I have such regard and fondness for. I echo her sentiment: here’s to another 12 years of your writing, cooking, creating art, and slow motion miracle eating!

XOXO

I’m so happy to hear your own family is supportive and that your husband does so well following a plant-based diet. Continued health and happiness to all of you!

I SO cherish your long time faithful reading and commenting. And yes, those seemingly “little” things, like friends making sure to eat like you eat when you all get together, are the ones that make a very big difference. Love and happiness back to you, always, my dear!

I’m so thankful to have the support of my parents, who cook vegan for us and eat our vegan food, even though they are not vegan. I agree with your statement, their support makes a world of difference.

My husband has MS and we know that our plant-based diet is a big part of why he is symptom-free.

You have helped me so much through my own journey, getting to read your journal and try your recipes and talk with you- means more than you know.
It's wonderful to have support when you have to be a little "different" – some of my friends make sure to always eat how I eat when we're together, which is a small thing, but has a big impact. My husband changed right with me, and it helps so very much. Your son and daughter-in-law seem like such lovely people, and I'm happy you have them in your life.
I'm excited to see where the next years take you! Sending you much love and happiness. xoxo

I so appreciate them being directed at my efforts. And thank you for following along over the years. Here’s to an abundance of good health for both of us for many many moons to come! I like how you put that. 🙂
