Hi everyone. Thank you for listening to Food for Thought and following along here. I am working on some new

episodes for you, so stay tuned. In the meantime, I'm going to share some recent conversations I've had

with some of my favorite people that took place on their podcasts, amazing people like Victoria Moran, Jasmine and Marianne from our henhouse,

Michelle Kane and Tony Okamoto from Plant Powered People podcast, Briddy Reed, at World

Vegan Travel and more. On these podcasts, we talk about all things related to compassionate

living, sustainable living, vegan living.

And we talk about my new book, A Year of Compassion, 52 weeks of living, zero-waste, plant-based,

and cruelty-free. For me, writing books, writing is the most enjoyable part of the process. I love the writing and research

part of the process. The most stressful part is the marketing and promotion part. And with so

much going on these days and with so many people trying to grab your attention, it is harder

than ever before,

certainly harder than when my first book came out in 2006.

So if you're able to support this new book, a year of compassion, in any way, I'd be so

grateful.

I'm really, really proud of this book, and you're going to hear lots more about it on these

upcoming episodes

and hopefully you'll be inspired to pick up a copy for yourself. Hopefully for a few friends,

it definitely is the book I think you can give to every friend and family member, acquaintance.

And if you would be so kind as to write a review, you can write a review on Goodreads.

You can write a review on Amazon, even if you don't shop at Amazon, even if you loathe Amazon.

Millions of people do shop over on Amazon.

And many people will just go look on Amazon for book reviews.
