Hello my fellow Earth Citizen!
Welcome to Elite Vegan Secrets, the book!!
It’s been 15 years in the making.
Ever since I met a girl in a bar in Dublin, Ireland.
I was traveling there and our eyes just connected.
We began dating and she introduced me to her peculiar ways of eating no meat, eggs or dairy. I was 25 and had never met anyone like this before.
Back then it was not so common.
Until then I was living and eating like everyone else. Beer, burgers, junk food.
Lots of drinking and escape through sports and entertainment, sex and travel.
I always knew there was more and since childhood felt somehow a little different. More sensitive. I loved animals.
And I questioned the ways taught by everyone around me because they all looked tense and unhappy.
So gravitated towards the arts, philosophy and all that.
That summer (2008) I quit drinking, shaved my head and went vegetarian.
I had no idea what I was doing.
And I was willing to try things, experiment, explore.
Not just diets but meditation, yoga and anything that could help me live a more better life.
It was still all about me until I fully started to understand the world, our food systems and what we were doing to the planet and to our fellow beings.
This was challenging at first and quite brutal to learn certain things not just about our world but ourselves.
I was excited to share what I was learning with friends and family but they didn’t really care. On the contrary they seemed quite threatened.
This was also something I had to learn to deal with. How to communicate with people. What kind of people to even surround ourselves with.
The years went by and although there were some hiccups and failures at times, I never lost sight of that feeling and vision that this girl introduced for me as we sat in her kitchen in the morning.
There is another way to live in this world.
A way that makes us more happy and healthy.
A way that makes our environment more clean and safe.
A way that makes us feel connected with the source of ALL.
And it all begins in how we think about food.
Yet the rabbit hole goes even deeper than that….
Food is not just what we feed our bodies but also our minds, our spirits, our hearts.
The thoughts we think.
The books we read.
The songs we listen to.
The words we say.
Not just the what but the how.
And the why.
15 years later I am sitting in my living room, typing this.
I felt a deep calling to share what I have learned.
The ups and downs.
The highs and lows.
The triumphs and tribulations.
I wish I had this book when I first started.
Or that I could’ve been able to talk to my future self somehow.
Well now I can at least talk to my past self.
And who knows, maybe someone is in that state of mind too.
Maybe they never meet the Irish girl in a bar.
So think of this as a friend you meet somewhere.
I want to keep the writing direct and to the point.
And if you ever have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
Either through email or connect via social media.
If you want to take your life to the next level,
Go vegan.
Start there.
That is an essential step to take and a very fertile garden onto which a beautiful life may be built. One of joy, compassion, health, wealth, creativity and happiness. Not just for you but everyone around you, everyone you meet.
You deserve the best life you can possibly have.
This book will help you go vegan, stay vegan and THRIVE as a vegan.
Vegan for…
The animals
The planet
The humans
The Gods
And most of all,
For YOU.
It’s an honor to be here with you on this journey.
Take a breath.
Lets begin.
Aloha!
