After high stress and a diet of high salt and fats and being obese for many years, in 2016 I had four major strokes, in which I lost my ability to speak, drive and even ride my bike. I was told by all doctors I would never be able to do any of those activeites again, ever. Several weeks ago I began driving, which is making me free again after eight long years. I had bugun biking two years ago. Im off most of the 16 pills a day I was prescribed. My voice is accually returning. During my fight back I suffered 3 major setbacks. A bike accident and broken collar bone, two years ago a broken leg, and most recently a broken back. Im back to biking, and driving due to what the famous Linda Middlesworth taught me soon after my strokes. ” It’s the Food! It’s the Food! It’s the Food!!! I feel I’m truly, BACK FROM THE EDGE. You can also do this. Just try!

2016

Cycling is my lifetime Love. Im back to it most days, and loving it. My newest passion is working out in a gym. Im excited about returning to my sales career. Life's so good!
Who has inspired or supported you in your plant-based journey?
My great friend and vegan mentor, Linda Middlesworth. P.C.R.M. The late but not forgotten Dr. John MacDougal...and recently, Dr. Baxter Montgomery.and so many others I plan to share with all of you. And I cannot leave out the most influential vegan cheff...Chef AJ. 5 fantastic books! For beginners to professional cheffs, she's the go to gal!
Which books or documentaries have inspired or supported you in your journey?
" Forks over Knives." "Cowspiracy" " The Game Changer"
What are some of the other lifestyle changes you made to help you thrive?
I exercise every day, and before any potluck of church meal, I always eat my heathy food ahead of time so to be full and not tempted.
Where do you think you would be now if you hadn’t switched to vegan or WFPB lifestyle?
Quite simply: I would be Dead!
What inspired you to make a change?
Years before my strokes, I had read " "Diet For a New America" by John Robbins and " How to Reverse heart disease by Dr. Dean Ornish, and made changes which vastly improved my heath, so in the months after my strokes I began rememembering how good I had felt. Then I remembered as a eight year old boy, a wonder family minister told my sister and I the Bible story of Daniel obeying God's orders to eat only vegatables and pulses and how he out performed the king's men as a result.
If you were to offer a hopeful, positive, and supportive message to those considering a plant-based lifestyle, it would be…
You too can succeed at this. If I can, anybody can.😍👌👍

I went to college and became a registered nurse. As I was first working I wanted to understand about health. I was married and decided that working and raising children did not work for me. I choose to be a stay home mom and started reading health books. This took me on a very long journey of religion, traditions, and lies that needed to be removed from my perception. I am 72 now, divorced 18 years, retired, play league tennis on 2 leagues, writer of the book “Celebrating our Creators truth of love, life and light.” The second addition will be coming out in September, 2024 on Amazon. Since I was 32 I have been vegetarian and as I aged and internet became so accessible I learned from many people. The books that lead me to better health in my 30 and 40 was Fit for Life, Braggs books, The Essene Gosple of Peace, Mucusless Diet Healing System, and Natural Hygiene by Herbert M Shelton. I was very much a student of the bible as I was always looking for truth. Thankfully, King David left the aleph-tav in Psalms 119 which led me to study the light letters until I was released from the hold of the lies of the world and all its boxes. Health, truth, peace, love, light, life all are from our Creator and not a manmade god of religion. I live a simple quiet life, sharing when memory and opportunity shows itself to be beneficial and healthy. I take no medications, no vaccines, and have no medical doctor.
