Where there is life, there is hope!
So there I was, plugging along in my low-fat vegan lifestyle. Everything is going fine, although I will admit that I was feeling a little lonely for more flesh-and-blood vegans (in addition to my lovely facebook vegan friends!).
In the past, hubby & I would go into the city once per month to socialize in a hospitable group, but having to stay overnight on someone’s sofa bed was becoming a little onerous. So we stopped doing that, and the ensuing sense of isolation of which I previously wrote began to build.
Fast forward a number of years. Suddenly, out of the blue, without any warning, a VEGAN food column appears in our little small town local paper! In it, the author says she plans to submit a new one once per month!! It’s another real, live vegan who isn’t my husband!
So I wrote a letter to the paper praising their open-mindedness in hosting the excellent column and asked that my contact info be forwarded to the lady. She wrote back soon afterwards… a most happy event… which was shortly followed by even MORE local vegans making contact with each other.
