The universe is trying to line things up... maybe?

Yeah, the universe/god or something/someone much larger than myself is trying to point me to the resources I need in this journey. And I must say, it (he/she) is doing a fine job! I've been looking at stuff online and in the library for months; trying to learn about vegan/vegetarian/raw food lifestyles. I've also made a lot more food choices that are less meat-oriented for the last couple months. Well.. today I was at Walmart, reaching for my Boca chicken patties and this woman was PILING vegan/vegetarian brands in her cart. Being the bold woman I am, I asked which ones she likes the best. We struck up a conversation and I asked her what she did for a cheese substitute. Her response was 'follow me.' We ended up talking for well over 30 mins. exchanging emails, and she is a WEALTH of information. She welcomes the opportunity to teach a newbie to veg. lifestyles and exchanging recipes. I told her about my ongoing digestive problems and she made some suggestions. I'm going to TRY to follow a vegan-ish lifestyle plan for a lot of my meals and delete ALL dairy from my diet for 30 days. This won't be easy to do as I AM a meat and potatoes girl. But I've packed the frig, freezer and cubbies with options.... so we'll see how well I do!!!
