On our recent trip to Florida, Sandy and I found ourselves in Palm Coast, headed toward St Augustine. Because I had never been in this area, I did a Happy Cow search to check out our veg options for lunch. Much to my delight there were almost too many vegetarian and vegan restaurants to choose from.

Happy Winter Solstice. To me the Solstice represents the death of the old creating space and light for the birth of the new. The sloughing away of negative ideas, experiences and fears. I am writing to you from the passenger seat of the KIA. We are driving South in a blinding snow storm. We have [...]
