138 – Karl and Laura – I Wonder….”

These conversations keep getting better and better. Kids are naturally curious. Laura’s class asked the question, “I wonder…” about parts of a science project. Why do we lose that natural wonder?

41 – Jonas – some of My Favorite Vegans

This little mini series is about a few of the interesting people I know that are plant-based.  We tend to think of vegans as commune living, hemp wearing hippies that don’t fit in regular society.  As veganism becomes more mainstream, I just wanted to introduce you to some of my wise, interesting friends.
