Many people erroneously self-identify as being “a vegan” when really, they are eating a plant-based diet, and not living in vegan consciousness on any other level, and sometimes, not even within the diet itself.
Someone who self-identifies as a vegan while eating a plant-based diet, is not embracing the vegan consciousness if they take their family to the zoo, the rodeo, the marine entertainment parks, animal acts or circuses. The same goes for buying animal-based fur, leather, wool, silk, feathered goods, and either breeding or buying companion animals from breeders instead of supporting sanctuaries and rescues.
A plant-based dietdoes not mean 100% plants, unless it specifically says 100% plant-based. It means predominantly plants, still consuming animal products, however, in “moderation” like 3 oz servings 2-3 times a week. Some like to say “like a condiment” which is particularly galling to vegans because these “condiments” were at the ultimate price of the lives of other innocent individuals who wanted to live and did not consent to their lives being taken.

Join us as we explore resilience practices (self-care, mindful movement, breath work, etc.) to keep us sustained and thriving in this challenging world”

The "[l]ongest bull run in the history of the stock market, congratulations America!" tweeted President Donald J. Trumpone day in August. But there are two Americas, and only one of them owns any stocks at all; and the richest 10% own 84%of all stocks owned by Americans. What is a stock anyway? A stock is a claim on a company's profits and assets, both of which are products of workers employed by the company. The America of the owning class lives off the labor of the other America and the rest of the world. On another day in August, President Trump tweeted: "For all of you that have made a fortune in the markets, or seen your 401k's rise beyond your wildest expectations, more good news is coming!" You know to which America the president intends to bring "more good news."
Last day to register to vote in the November 6 election at Franklin County Board of Elections
Go to your county Board of Elections or Secretary of State's website to make sure you are registered.
Heading into October the race for governor is by most accounts tighter than expected even though many pundits figured Ohio was continuing to trend red. Earlier this summer, polls had Democrat Richard Cordray leading Republican Mike DeWine. Of late, some polls show a dead heat or DeWine with a small lead.
Cordray is a relative unknown, but may have a chance, as Danny O’Connor did this past August in the special election. Cordray is probably best known for directing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during President Obama’s second term.
DeWine, on the other hand, is essentially the incumbent if you take Gov. John Kasich into account, says Cordray press secretary Mike Gwin.
“Mike DeWine has spent decades in Congress and in Columbus supporting policies that favor the wealthy, health insurers, and big drug companies, but hurt middle class Ohioans,” said Gwin to the Free Press. “After 42 years in politics, voters shouldn’t expect anything different from DeWine as governor.”
But the Cordray campaign, along with many others, are keeping a close-eye on who DeWine will embrace more as November 6th nears.
It isn't just the sweat shops in Jordan that are making cheap products for local garment titan Victoria's Secret; they are being made right here in the Columbus area. The international clothing (or lack of it, as VS models seem to be mostly naked) company that is such a sensation on the runway, in their own stores and in their sales volume has at least four factories working round the clock (literally!) to make the skimpy clothing that is supposed to entice sufficiently horny men into getting their women to remove even these last refuges of their modesty.
In the first part of this article I talked about hypnotherapy and Shamanic healing. I now take this opportunity to bring forth Spirit mediumship and Reiki. But before I do that I want to bring to your notice that being in a state of calm and centered place is a daily task. It is therefore important to give oneself at least 15 minutes of "me time." 15 minutes away from your various gadgets, family members, daily stressors. 15 minutes daily just for yourself. We all have to make ourselves important first and then others.
