Hi everyone! Let's sprinkle some inspiration around SteemitTown shall we? I am starting this challenge to initiate a community of supportive individuals who will together, make a whole big loving wave in this ocean of ours! So come and dive on in with me!
I LOVE food! You might have noticed this from my recipes that keep finding their way onto my blog ;) More specifically, I love delicious food that makes me feel amazing when I eat it! (I believe from experience that food has incredible healing potential!)
(I wrote a loving guide recently which you can check out here! It came directly from my heart and I hope it resonates with you no matter your dietary preference!)
What does "food that makes me feel amazing" mean?
I am talking about food that my body has chosen to be what is best for it. I have spent years listening to my internal system's dialogue, putting it together with nutritional studies in order to customize a meal plan to be just right for me! In my case that has turned out to be vegan, gluten free, sugar-free, and generally just plant based food from our mother Earth!
However, we all have different bodies and dietary needs so I am not here to tell you what is good or bad, right or wrong but I will offer my recipes to you, my suggestions upon request and my love for you in all that you do regardless! =D
I have told you before that I used to be the biggest meat-eater out of anyone I knew. I think because I am so small, I subconsciously thought I needed more protein to make up for it and so found myself fork and knife in a barely cooked, rare as possible steak at least once a day! (Fun fact: I have put on more (healthy) weight SINCE changing my diet which goes to show that my body is happy with my choices!)
The 'me' now cannot conceive eating the way I used to, but that story is not a story for today. In fact, my transitional tale is so wild that I am going to have to spend a good amount of time on it and share it with you another day, as I believe it will challenge a lot of preexisting beliefs you might have (I know it did for me!)
So enough about me, I promise I will disclose that in raw, pure form as usual, so stay tuned for that if you're interested but FOR NOW... let's talk about this initiative I am attempting to start here with you all!
We're going to call it #veganwednesday and it's going to be a weekly running challenge that I will of course oversee. I will chose at least 1 entry every week and donate $5 SBD of my own to the winner(s).
I will also end up upvoting my favorite submissions so don't be shy, send me your posts!
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE VEGAN TO ENTER! (But you must comply with the rules to win!)
How to participate:
🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍎
- Post what vegan means to you! This could be anything from vegan approved recipes (no animal products) to poems, to reviews... basically I am looking for vegan related content at your discretion (must be animal friendly!)
- Tag it within #veganwednesday (using your first tag will help me find it!) and I will go through them every week, choosing a winner and announcing them each week
(I will have guest judges help me from time to time as well as we grow!) - Post your entry on each week's update (this post will serve as this week's, so post your submissions here!)
- I will create a post announcing the winner each week along with any deserved mentions as to help foster a strong community bond for those of us who are trying to share our vegan recipes with the world!
Only positive posts will be considered. This isn't a war for animal rights or a call out to tell people how to live! It's a loving, caring, sharing invitation to get to know each other and support our community!
I have a compelling urge to inspire and assist anyone who would like to improve their health!
I would love for you to experience the same incredible health benefits I have received from changing what I put into my body.
I hope this challenge inspires you to consider new options in your diets and serves to help us connect to each other! Please engage with me here in the comments, on steemit.chat or in Discord! I am so excited to launch this initiative and can't wait to meet new friends and see your posts!
XO,
🍇🍈🍉🍊🍋🍌🍍🍎
