Veg/Vegan Thanksgiving "unturkey" gathering near Gainesville, Florida?
Nov 12, 2005
Hi dear vegan friends...

I wasn't sure whether to post this in the vegetarian or vegan group so I'll post in both because I may actually get a positive response and result from both.  I thought I'd also post here in the share network.  I'm currently living in Starke, North Central, Florida, and quite honestly I feel like the only vegan, let alone vegetarian, natural living natural whole food non-smoker conscious person in this ridiculous stupid god-forsaken town.  That's probably because I AM the only veg/vegan here!!! grrrrrrr    I can't travel too far, but I would really love to find and attend a cool uplifting fun vegan Thanksgiving unturkey Tofurky gathering where I can meet some really nice wonderful cool uplifting down-to-earth conscious aware vegans/vegetarians somewhere in the Gainesville area. 

While I was still living in California, I attended a gathering like what I speak of above and there were no hidden agendas or special speakers, just a nice pot luck event where everyone brought a 100% vegan organic whole food additive-free yummy meal and labeled the meal item with all the wonderful healthy ingredients contained in the dish.  I miss that camaderie connection so much and I would really love to attend and participate in something wonderful like that again!  Does anyone know of anything like this that they can inform me about?  I'm so tired of and feel sad being surrounded by all these meathead smoking toxic detergent/fragrance-addicted rednecks.  Talk about feeling like an alien...I sure feel like one here! *crying*  Anyway, I could sure use some help here, a caring kind good listening ear, and a dear caring friend who understands how I feel.

Please feel free to email me if you have any thoughts or just to say hello...

Blessing, *hugs*

We all know that we're expected to be on our best behavior at church, but do we really know why that is?  Shouldn't we be on our best behavior all of the time?  Is behaving as if we're something we're not when we're not being a hypocrite wh...

When I think of the word, "Mother," many things come into my mind.  My own sweet mother, of course, who to me, will always be the perfect embodiment of motherhood.  I think, too, of myself, for I am the mother of three, the step-mother ...

Discipline means to train.  Jesus demonstrated this in his training of the Disciples.  We can correlate this to training our own inner faculties to serve us.  Metaphysically speaking, the Disciples of Jesus represent the spiritual powe...

ALL healing is energy healing!  If it is not, then there wasn't a complete healing, because energy is what transports the life force, on all levels, as always.  Energy transports the life force in our physical body, enabling us to move and ...

Please allow the song above to play as you begin to read.  I find it adds to the meaning of the words I am writing to you.  The hills ARE alive with the sound of music, just as the song tells us they are.  The birds, the rustling of le...
