What Laura’s Saying

Hi Colleen,

It feels surreal to be writing to you but I am excited at the same time. I’m not sure what to say, other than thank you, and to tell you that I am a big fan. I absolutely love you, your cookbooks, and especially the podcast. It is the primary reason I was finally able to let go of dairy, for whatever reason that was the most difficult hump for me to get over but shortly after I started listening to you, I was able to let it go. And I am so grateful. I have been vegan for 7 months now and listening to your podcast the entire time. I honestly can’t describe the feeling I had when I realized that this is how I needed to live, but it’s as though someone turned the lights on inside my head. I love that you refer to it as “waking up,” I am definitely awake today and happier for it.

I have had a difficult year, both financially and emotionally and I have wanted to join the Compassionate Cooks club for a while. I am happy to do it this week, as my birthday is on Sunday and I’m considering it a present to myself. My journey and excitement as a new vegan have helped uplift me through my more challenging personal times recently and I’m glad to be able to give something back.

So thank you, Colleen, for all that you do. I’m hoping to attend your speaking engagement here in NYC in October and maybe I will be able to thank you in person.

All the best!
Laura
