composting!

Well, here I sit, typing away thinking about what to say… My mind first goes to how can I type this without admitting that I am wearing this lovely cream Ella Moss high neck blouse (MADE OF SILK!) and my new Taryn Rose silver comfort heels (MADE OF LEATHER!) for our fundraising event here at work tonight. And I have decided to change my top but not because I am vegan but because it is all wrinkled now (however, my new shirt is not made from animal products).

I just could not feel good about talking about being a vegan without you all knowing that I have a long way to go before I can call myself a total vegan!

Since becoming a transitional vegan, I have thinking about the ways in which I consume things. Not just food. I have also been thinking about all the food I waste that is rotting in my garbage. About six months ago, I was with my friend Laura and she showed me her compost pile at her home and I was very impressed – however, not enough to start my own until maybe now. So I am thinking, “just” thinking about starting my own – if my husband is reading this, don’t freak out! Composting is great for the environment and I need to do it. I just am not sure about having my own compost pile. The City of Tacoma should pick up compost piles like they do in Portland (right, Michelle, didn’t you say Portland does that?)

I am going to see Laura tonight at the event and am going to tell her I think I am ready to really start thinking about doing this!

The weather is so beautiful today!
