Today is World Vegan Day!

And my very special way to celebrate (like almost every day) is cooking and enjoying my little animals that I have at home ..!

Right now I can smell all over my kitchen "Happy Herbivore´s Maple Pumpkin Muffins Sweet Kissed" ... I think I'll take one as a dessert!

Happy Day! Let every day be like this!

Here is the trailer for Food Inc. The film that helped me make the big leap to veganism.

W & Cie Agency made ​​a corporate ID makeover and this earned them a Silver Lion at the Cannes Film Festival 2011.

A simple approach ... "We are an agency working for brands, so let's do a tribute to them".

The rest of pictures and a video that is very highly recommended here

What a wonderful World!

Hoy hace un año que tomé la decisión de hacer un cambio en mi vida. Una decisión que cambia vidas.

He estado "coqueteando" con el vegetarianismo y el veganismo por los últimos 15 años, pero el intentar vivir con una dieta vegana me vino a raíz de empezar a leer, ver, pensar, sentir y querer hacer un cambio; eso se empieza con uno mismo y cuando uno ha visto, leído, oído, pensado…no hay vuelta atrás.

Mi año siendo vegana ha sido toda una aventura. No ha sido fácil y no he sido 100% vegana todo el tiempo… como dicen por ahí 80% buena, 20% intentarlo ser. Creo que mi mayor conflicto reside en los ingredientes "ocultos" y en el pan dulce (esa gran gran parte de la gastronomía mexicana a la que me está costando renunciar, pero que poco a poco voy ganando la partida).

No empecé a ser vegana por perder peso (que no ha pasado, pero si lo he mantenido), ni tampoco por enfermedad (pero mi salud ha mejorado), empecé por la impotencia de saber que es lo que está pasando, de como nos "están" alimentando, de como están siendo tratados los animales, de como está procesada nuestra comida, de los daños hechos al planeta por los sistemas de producción…y de muchos otros motivos.

Ha sido un año lleno de bonitas experiencias, malas críticas, buena comida, muchísimo aprendizaje, mucha compasión, amor, salud y bienestar.

¡Por muchos años más!

Today, a year ago I made the decision to make a change in my life. A decision that changes lives.

I have been "flirting" with the vegetarianism and the veganism by last the 15 years, but trying to live with a vegan diet came to me as a result of beginning to read, to see, to think, to feel and to want to make a change; a change that begins with ourselves. And when someone has seen, read, heard, thought… there is no u turn.

My year as a vegan has been an adventure. It has not been easy and I have not been 100% vegan all the time… as they say 80% good, 20% try it to be.

I believe that the only problem that i have are the "hidden" ingredients and with the "sweet bread" (pan dulce) (that great great part of the Mexican gastronomy to which is vert hard to let go, but....little by little).

I did not begin to be vegan to lose weight (but I have maintained it), nor either by any disease (but my health has improved), I began because i know what it is happening, because of how "they" are feeding us, because of knowing how animal are being treated, how our food is processed, the damages done to the planet by the mass production systems… and because many other reasons.

It has been a year full of wonderful experiences, bad critics, good food, learning a lot of new things, a lot of compassion, love, health and well-being.

For many years to come!
