Intro: Hi! I am Star. I am passionate about healing through food. I am a 6 year Vegan and credit my healing journey to my decision to make the switch to a Plant-Based Lifestyle. When we open ourselves up to the possibility that everything we need for our wellness has already been provided from Mother Earth, we walk through new realms of life giving goodness. I am so happy to share with you some fun whole-food ideas and chat about Gaia and all her glory! Happy Earth Day Everyday! Much light to you on your path of re-awakening. One love.


Compassionate Living: "I don't want to be a pain in the ass for people but I choose to live my life in a way that feels like I am making a positive change in the world. Changing the food you eat on a daily basis makes a great impact. It changes your connection with the world. My daily life is about living life to the fullest in the least negative way possible. As more people make that change, we shift our impact on the planet, spread more compassion and kindness, and increase our health and well-being. Choose a life that will save the planet for future generations. Open your heart to the idea that our food choices create generosity, love, understanding, and compassion." - Chef Barry Horton
