A challenge to Orbiting Vegan Readers...

A week or two ago I received a phone call from a dear friend, wanting some pointers on picking out a good juicer for her home. She's a very busy woman, working two jobs, and hasn't got copious amounts of free time. Nevertheless, she is determined to make some positive changes not only in her diet but her life, which I just think is fabulous.

So, two things happened. I told her to buy a Vitamix and start drinking smoothies, because, let's face it, there is no such thing as easy, quick, or low maintenance juicing. The man or woman who invents such a contraption will surely be a billionaire, and perhaps even have lawn flamingos erected in their honor all over the world. The second thing that happened was this: I had the idea to make her an "emergency wellness kit" including a rice cooker, some organic quinoa, a small bottle of raw cider vinegar, a bottle of raw agave, and a bag of lemons. I also got some olive oil and dark chocolate (which I forgot to put in the kit, they're coming! You know who you are!)

My thought was to provide on or two small and easy options that could be instantly integrated into her week, and it don't get easier than cooking quinoa in a rice cooker. But really, going back to an earlier post entitled "the Secret Ingredient," what better way to help somebody start a new journey than with a healthy dose of love?

My challenge to all who may read this entry is this: do one small, unexpected thing this week to bring happiness into someone else's life. I'd love it if you'd share your experience with the rest of the Orbiting Vegan community via commenting on this entry! So knows who else will be inspired by your story!

Thanks!
