Intro post: It has been a while since we have intr Intro post: It has been a while since we have introduced ourselves. Weโ€™re Tori and Jonathan, the hosts and caretakers here at Grateful Meadows. Jonathan and I have been a couple for over 16 years. We met in middle school band class. But it was on the afternoon bus rides home that we really got to know each other and became besties. โœจ๏ธWe have traveled the US and Europe together. We went to Radford University where we met Baelynย ๐Ÿพin 2009, our first fur baby.ย  It's at Radford where we first learned about plant-based eating and heard the phrase "you are what you eat". I, Tori, took a biology class my senior year (2012) that exposed me to the documentary โ€˜Forks Over Knivesโ€™ and the book โ€˜The China Studyโ€™.ย  I was so inspired by the information I was learning I quickly adopted a plant-based lifestyle. Jonathan, along with family members and friends, joined in as we all discovered just how good you feel from eating plant-based and living harmoniously with your morals. Growing up we had lots of animal friends to care for.ย We learned at a young age just how comforting and magical furry friends can be. We were taught the simple principles of "love thy neighbor", "do unto others", and "thou shall not kill" as kids which planted the seeds for our vegan journey.ย  Once we realized just howย  horrific the animal agriculture industry is for animals (watch: Dominion), the planet (watch: Cowspiracy), and our bodies (watch: What the Health) we were committed to living a vegan life.ย ๐Ÿ’š

Outside of Grateful Meadows we both work full-time. Jonathan is a real estate agent studying for his brokers license. Tori is an architectural drafter focusing on residential restoration and new construction.ย 

 That's a tiny slice about us and our story. โœŒ๏ธ

Let this be your reminder, if you have a dream, it Let this be your reminder, if you have a dream, it is for a reason. Stick with it! Keep working towards what you want. Be patient and grateful that it's coming to you. The world is a vast and abundant place with endless opportunities. And if you keep at it, one day you'll be blown away by just how spectacular your life is. ๐Ÿ’ซ I used to dream of the life I now live. 

 Don't let fear hold you back. Failure is part of the process to give you more than you thought possible.
