When our bodies go without food or water, there is a certain part of our brain called the “hypothalamus” that tells the brain it is time to eat and hydrate ourselves. It's our body’s natural ability to remind us that we need food. In fact, our brain and body are working as a team to keep each other functioning. I want you to take care of your appetite for success like your body would if it were hungry. In life, we do not view success, happiness, and wealth as a necessity but in reality, it should be treated the same. If more people took their careers, life, and money as seriously as our brains did when our bodies needed to eat, there would never be an epidemic of poverty! Learn to feed your appetite for success and happiness as you would feed your body when it tells you that it's hungry. Written by Shikoma M.

It started with being addicted to using my mother’s Vitamix for green smoothies full of celery, kale, romaine, lemons, apples, pears, and ginger. I began to see the world completely different than how I was used to seeing it. So much life surrounds us on this planet.

All of the beautiful and miraculous fruits and vegetables that grow here on this planet are here to heal us. My love for this planet for being nurturing blossomed and filled my heart. My skin started to get better but I was still eating small amounts of dairy and seafood at the time

It wasn’t until 2 years later that I decided to become plant-based. My Skin gradually started to really heal. I’m human so I’ve had my fair share of reverting back to dairy or seafood because those were the toughest to let go of. The only thing that truly helped was going out of my way to research animal agriculture and the effects on the planet and me.

70 billion animals are produced each year slaughtered and killed. 1/3 of grain production goes toward feeding livestock (even though people still die of starvation) and so does 16% of fresh water available (even though there are still places with no access to clean water).

14.5% of all the carbon dioxide that is emitted in the atmosphere is a by-product of animal agriculture. We collectively have so many problems that snowball into bigger problems. “More is better” is killing our planet but the choices we make and the understanding we have of the importance of awareness living in this day and age can help tremendously.

If love was a plant it would be the biggest and strongest tree that ever grew. It would reap the fruit of awareness, compassion, the realization of cause and effect, and positive choice. I’m not saying that people SHOULD adopt this lifestyle overnight-because it would be impossible. It’s all about taking that first step and sticking with it. It’s all about plant-based love.

Why me, the question that people ask themselves when they're in a place of such discontent. It seems as if life throws curve balls at you right when your heading for home plate. Truth be told the moment you start to believe you can have it all, you will. I know what your thinking well if it were that easy everyone would be fortunate. Not true. It's three things you need to learn on this journey in life; overcoming failure, giving gratitude, and thinking profoundly. I can remember a time in my life when I only attracted low paying jobs, depressed friends, and unfaithful men. Only to discover it was my negative thought patterns that attracted this energy into my life. I was so quick to devalue myself I unknowingly manifested these issues into my life. The moment you switch your thoughts, behaviors, and claim your self-worth, your life will change in the blink of an eye. Remember you are the only person who can change your thoughts! Start by sitting alone and reminding yourself how uniquely talented, worthy, and remarkable you are in life. Thoughts become things, the energy that is put into a thought travels within seconds and transforms into action. So, it is imperative to take control of your thoughts. When you start to focus all your energy on things that have meaning, value and purpose you will attract a better career path, quality friends, and a healthy relationship because you were beautifully designed to do it all.
