Here at Flying Pig Animal Sanctuary, we stand by the powerful idea that “peace begins on your plate.” Yes, that’s right—what you eat matters not just to your health, but to animals and to the whole planet! 🐷 🌎 Embracing #meatlessmonday is more than just a trend; it’s a transformation. Each meal without meat helps save valuable resources like water. 💦 You can also #ditchdairy whenever possible and that makes a big difference too! So, what swaps have you made? Let’s swap stories. 🌱 We’d love to hear how you’re incorporating compassionate choices into your routine. We also love shared recipes. Got a killer kale salad or a zesty zucchini pasta recipe? Do tell! Sharing is caring, after all. 🥗 Let’s spread the word on eating with empathy because after all, peace begins on your plate. ✌🏻 🐷 @diva_the_deaf_pig #motivationalmonday #choosekindness #bekind #compassionliveshere #smallstepstobigchange #bethechange #friendsnotfood #mondaymotivation #peacebeginsonyourplate #animalsanctuary #flyingpiganimalsanctuary

We have some new arrivals and need your help to name them! To enter the naming contest, donate $1 or more by 4/30, along with your name choice(s). You will get one entry per dollar, so the more you donate, the better chance you have of being able to name a chicken or pigeon! We have five animals to be named and you could even be chosen to name more than one animal! Donation links in bio. The chickens were part of a large rescue done by Animal Place. They were able to rescue 614 chickens who were slated to be killed at an organic egg farm just because they are two years old and aren’t laying quite as many eggs now. The pigeons came from SF Animal Care and Control. They were rescued and brought there by mistake from someone from a different county. Due to avian flu risk, SFACC can’t house birds from another county, so these two were in immediate danger and came to live with us. #rescuechickens #olschickens #eggsarecruel #ditcheggs #eggindustrykills #olspigeons #rescuepigeon #kingpigeon #friendnotfood #someonenotsomething #animalsanctuary #animalrescue #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #endspeciesism #peacebeginsonyourplate #voiceforthevoiceless #bethechange

In a moment, everything can change. For Romeo and Richie, young steers who endured cruel neglect and starvation on an animal farm, that moment came when animal control called @poplarspringsanctuary asking for help with an emergency rescue—and they were saved. What makes their rescue all the more remarkable is that since they don’t produce milk, millions of male calves are taken from their mothers and either killed at birth or raised to be rendered into veal and calfskin so that the milk their mother produces to feed them can be sold for human consumption. Forever safe from harm, best friends Romeo and Richie are healing from their past, learning to trust people and forging new identities in a bright future. That is the benevolent blessing of sanctuary. 🩷🐮💚🐮💜 . . . #someonenotsomething #cowsofinstagram #cowstagram #rescuecow #animalsanctuary #sanctuarylife #veganforlife #ditchdairy #bekindtoeverykind #vegansofig #aocp2024

For the next week or so, Kathie and the pigs will be taking a little hiding out time to re-evaluate and talk about the future. More time and focus needs to be spent on some very important things, and our social media needs to take a back seat for a short time. Sometimes, we feel uncomfortable when our home is considered a public place for people to interfere in, when they have a business doing so. Putting yourself out there and showing compassion and love for animals so many don't care about, can bring unwanted and unnecessary disruption into our space. A space that is meant to be about kindness and compassion. Please know we are still working like busy little bees. Our Patreon, of course, will be undated a couple of times a week. Please join us there if you wish. If not, we'll see you back with all the news and what we've been up to in a very short time! https://www.patreon.com/contentedpiginn?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator We love and appreciate all of you - our supporters - just sometimes a little self care is required to stay strong 💪 🩷🐽 🐽 Learn more about us here ⬇️ Contentedpiginn.com https://contentedpiginn.com/sponsorapig/ 🐽 Or donate to the pigs' care and welfare here ⬇️ Contentedpiginn.com/donate #pigs #petpigs #lovepigs #pigsareawsome #piggies #piglife #veganfortheanimals #cute #peacelovepigs #vegan #veganfortheanimals #peacebeginsonyourplate #matesnotmeat #happy #pigrescue #pigsanctuary

Saturday, April 27, 2024 - An amazing group of people showed up today to plant some seeds about veganism! We got a lot of honks of approval and thumbs ups. Sadly, a young man passing by on his motorcycle had an accident in front of us. So many people jumped into action, the police and firefighters were called, and it seems he was okay. We hope he *is* okay and rides carefully. A massive thank you to everyone who came out today. You are all appreciated and loved more than you know. 🙏❤️ #WhyLoveOneButEatTheOther #PeaceBeginsOnYourPlate #EmpathyAndCompassionCanChangeTheWorld #FriendsNotFood #SomeoneNotSomething #TheAnimalsNeedOurHelp #TreatThemTheWayYouWantToBeTreated #PlantingSeeds #ThereIsNoPriceOnLife #MayAllBeingsBeFree #ForTheAnimals #EmptyTheCages #Love #Peace #empathy #Compassion #Respect #WeAreAllAnimals #FollowTheMoney #RaisingAwareness #EmpathyAndCompassionCanChangeTheWorld #SomeoneNotSomething #EveryoneDeservesToLive #loveoneloveall #RespectAllLife #WeAreAllConnected

I had a fabulous time with Tobias and Kerstin last week. They were great company and super helpful getting a few of those things done that we never seem to get to! There was also some time in there for some new ink. I'll never say no if there's one on offer and I let Tobias decide for me (it's the vegan ambigram). I love it! Sadly these guys hit the road this morning to Brissy, before heading off home to Germany for a while before the next adventure.

Happy Veganniversary 11yrs. 🎉🙏🏼✨❤️🌱 @peaceful_ollas Thank You Mom for embarking on this amazing life long journey together. I’m at where I’m at because of the roots you instilled in me, from Marching with the Farm Workers to caring for the community. Together we’ll continue planting the seeds of the future, growing into a forest of amazing compassionate beings. Thank you for all you do and continue to. Let’s celebrate, see everyone Sunday for the big celebration, still a couple spots left. Also follow Moms @peaceful_ollas as we continue. Peace Peace Peace Repost from @peaceful_ollas • Happy Veganniversary to my best pal in the world! On April 26, 2013 we took action on the best decision of our lives. You brought home the information about Veganism. We adopted Veganism as a choice for life. We began with the China Study and learning how to eat healthily and cruelty-free. Each day without violence on our plates increased our compassion toward all beings. Then came the need to share veganism with others and to be a voice for the animals. I love being vegan! I love cooking vegan and sharing! Vegan life! Vegan love! Eleven years and forever! 💚🌱✌🏼 #Veganism #Vegan #peacebeginsonyourplate #cruelty-free # #animalrightsactivism #veganlife #veganflag

Because one post featuring Waylon simply isn’t enough! According to caretaker Kelly, Waylon is “ ”Confident and dashing, pretty sure he was a peacock in another life… Waylon only stops posturing and showing off when you’ve got snacks and he’s very communicative with his facial coloration. He’s a classy guy and seems intimidating until you squat down and offer him a chest scratch!” 😍🦃😍 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #beneateatlessmeat #rescueturkey #turkeysofinstagram #farmsanctuary #farmfriends #safehavenfarmsanctuary #compassion #govegan #turkeys #bekind #peacebeginsonyourplate #sanctuariesofinstagram #turkstagram #veganforanimals

Repost @thesavemovement ・・・ Did you know that animals in laboratories can legally be poisoned with toxic chemicals, shot, irradiated, gassed, blown up, drowned, stabbed, burned, starved, have their bones broken, have limbs amputated, and be deprived of sleep? All without anesthetic. Basically anything goes. Please choose #crueltyfree and #vegan products. Nothing is worth this amount of wholly unnecessary suffering and cruelty. Swipe to learn more about the abhorrent practices . .

Progress makes happy me, and happy pigs (soon).

Things are done better too. Thanks also to everyone who donated for our feed bag, it truly takes a village of pig loving people to keep this show on the road!

It's been a hive of activity here the past couple of days. We have Dan, Rob, and Dave on the fencing, and I have Kerstin and Tobias here from Germany for the week, helping me out with other jobs around the sanctuary. I can't even explain the difference a hands on, motivated team of people at the sanctuary makes. It would be a different place altogether if we could find helpers more often. Once this new lot of paddock construction is completed, we can free up the area we need to start growing some fresh food for the pigs, and alleviate some of these crazy pig feeding costs. Thank you to those who have donated to see us through this week, we have raised $450 towards a bulk bag for this week. We need to pick up feed this afternoon whether that be small bags, which are more costly or the bulk bag. If you'd like to chip in also our donation options are below.

#earthday reminder: animal agriculture is decimating our planet . Animal agriculture the leading cause of climate change, deforestation, water pollution, soil erosion, species extinction, ocean dead zones and diseases.. why arnt climate activists talking about this? . The rule of thumb is that each day, a person who eats a vegan diet saves 4,164 Liters of water, 18 kg of grain, 3 m² of forested land, 9 kg CO2, and one animals life every single day . .

During a focused connection with my spiritual team for a deeper understanding about my role as an animal communicator & advocate, this emerged. I clearly see my previous conditioned self through these words. We wonder ‘what’s wrong with people?’ as violence escalates world wide, in schools, places of business & worship. They ask us to notice that the rise in violence in man coincides w/the rise of violence towards animals. The scale of each is in tandem. Consuming violence is a karmic collision course. There is a real peace effect that happens when removing abused, antibiotic and hormone pumped animals from our bodies. 🌱 It is why I call my plant-based session The Peaceful Plate. 🎉 I am creating small groups for those who want to be plant-forward/based/vegan but feel overwhelmed. We meet on zoom 1x/wk for four weeks and move through the key points/stages with others and me for support. You receive everything I’ve got. You’ll understand whole-food plant nutrition & how to nourish deliciously w/ease. ALL my valuable cliffs notes, swaps, staples, recipes, emotional & social aspects, and shortcuts. And solidify your ‘why’. The thing is- what we’re doing isn’t working. Each generation is sicker and bigger than the previous. And we’re complying with a very violent norm that enslaves and slaughters 80 Billion land animals - not including Trillions of sea beings - a Y E A R. Everything we hold dear is collapsing at a horrific rate of intentional destruction. No one is winning. Not humans, animals, or planet. If you’re interested in joining an intimate Peaceful Plate group, get on my list @ website 🔗 in bio! 🎤 AND - seeking GUESTS who can share their vegan/plant-based journey & expertise. Who has an animal non profit I can donate to - yours or one of your choice - if you’d like to share some wisdom at one of our meetings? 🙏🏻 A portion of EVERY PP group will be donated to an animal non-profit. Pls DM or email. 🌱 Website 🔗 in bio. 🎉 Grab all 3 free gifts while you’re signing up. The groups will be at a nicely reduced group rate! Who’s in? 🌱 Much ❤️& 🕊️ Susan . . I tagged some souls I deeply admire as poss guests. ❤️🙏🏻

The 18th was my birthday and I can’t think everyone enough for surpassing our goal❣️❣️❣️ Here are some photos of what we buy on a regular basis for our 12 li’l piggies that adds up in a hurry. We have hired a much needed helper who we pay $120/mo. We also have to pay for behind-the-scenes things like a subscription to Zoom for our board meetings and Quicken for our tax filing. And don’t forget the hoof trims, vet bills, etc.😉Your donations, which have been SO incredibly generous, go toward our out of pocket expenses. If you or someone you know who has a couple of dollars to help support our mission of making sure all animals live their best life, we have 2 weeks left for our fundraiser😃THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Poppy isn't feeling well so is living in the bathroom for awhile. I noticed her poops were very runny and she wasn't as active as normal. Then Sunday she stopped eating, which is a definite sign she's unwell. She visited the vet on Monday and received fluids and an antibiotic injection as well as antibiotics twice a day this week. She did start eating again but still is mostly lying down. If she doesn't improve, next steps are X-rays and blood work. We believe that chickens deserve veterinary care just like dogs and cats. So many people with chickens let them suffer if they are ill or injured. Chickens feel pain and fear as well as happiness. Even though the vet is an hour away (and the specialist is on the other side of the state!), it's our obligation to provide the best care we can for our sanctuary family. If you would like to contribute to Poppy's vet expenses, it would be so appreciated.

Y’all, fitting the mold is overrated! I used to try to do that and it led me to heartache and chaos. Once I learned to follow the calling of my heart, everything got better. I stopped worrying about whether I was pleasing someone else by following their path and just got down to the wonderful, enormous task of living my life authentically. I shudder to think where I would be today if I had continued to try to fit into a society that views animal slaughter as normal. I can’t stress enough how my eyes were opened by veganism. It watered this poor little seed in my heart that finally had the right conditions to grow- and boy has it yielded fruit. I have found my people, my purpose, my chosen animal family and I wake up and go to bed every day with love in my heart no matter what life throws at me. That’s what happens when you truly follow your heart. Sure, there are still problems, there are obstacles, but you always have the fire to solve and overcome them! I wouldn’t trade this path for anything! Thankfully, all I have had to give up is the fear of being different. In giving that up, I have received so many blessings. I encourage y’all to do the same. Are you following your heart? How can you get yourself closer to a life of authenticity and purpose? The dream of Rowdy Girl Sanctuary began when I was still a cattle rancher’s wife bottle feeding a little calf named Rowdy Girl. After undergoing a full-on vegan awakening, I managed to crowdfund our cattle ranch into a vegan farmed animal sanctuary.

Hi friends, this handsome gentleman needs a safe home. He is not to be eaten. I already help mum with 6 rescued chickens, and their health would be at higher risk if they had babies. Can anyone help us get him to safety? Mum will transport if needed. He's in Ventura County, California. We love road trips.

It was after a devastating animal communication connection with a dairy cow that my journey to self-educate about animal agriculture began. She told me things I did not know that I later learned were true. I saw undercover footage from factory farms and slaughterhouses that broke me. But my discomfort is nothing compared to what cows, pigs, chickens, lambs, etc. endure. I really don’t know too much. I know the truth. And the truth is never too much. The truth behind animal ag stands on its own. It’s unwavering. It doesn’t sway or change based on one’s feelings or beliefs. The truth is in the undercover footage from factory farms, slaughterhouses, circus animal trainings, sea world trainings, or animal transport vehicles where they are driven up to 3 days with no water in all weather. The truth is learning about the psychological damage from the workers themselves who are undocumented and early releases from prisons. That the freedom working in a slaughterhouse offers is better than where they came from. I’m a voice FOR animals. Yours & the unseen, enslaved. I am the conduit between companion animals who are in active transition and their human to convey wishes and messages so all can be at ease with how and when they choose to go. And connect you to your dearly departed. I help people who are pulled to get off the meat/dairy train because they do love animals. All of them, not just companion animals. Or they want better health. I’ve done the work & taken the whole-food plant-based course to be able to mentor those in a way that leads to success, not quitting because they’re eating boring processed plant-based foods and are devoid of taste and nutrients. Peace is knowing you’re not funding any animal abuse. Once the body is off animals, the cleaner the quality of thinking, feeling, and knowing we have. We can suddenly see the whale who was born into captivity who has never swam the open ocean hundreds of straight miles never seeing the same thing twice. For some it’s a journey, others a snap wake up. Either way, it begins with the peaceful plate. Pls let me know how I can help you w/your companion animals or plant-based path. 🌱🐾

Gizmo was the sweetest and gentlest of giants. When grazing in the pasture that he loved, he looked like a big black bear in the distance. He was smart, cuddly and loved his best friend Penny with all his heart. She died a few weeks before his passing and a part of me believes that his will to live and to overcome his horrible arthritic condition, languished after she passed away. Gizmo was about 9 years old and was bred to be pork, bacon etc. Pigs grow to enormous sizes because of the breeding conditions that make their bodies so large their joints struggle to support their weight. Gizmo was on medication for years for his arthritis and struggled to walk on occasion but his will to live was so strong. He loved his life—HIS LIFE. The vet came out 3 times to see him. We had him on many different pain management protocols but he kept getting worse and had little desire to get up. Gizmo was destined, like so many other animals, to be sold at auction after serving as an FFA “project” - meaning he would be killed and his body chopped up into pieces and sold in a grocery store. Thankfully, Alena was one of those unique teens who was able to see through the lies and propaganda of the animal ag industry working through FFA. She saw Gizmo’s soul and the two developed a strong bond. Alena came for a visit and I told her we would take Gizmo in if she agreed to stop being in the FFA and came to visit him regularly. And Alena did! She brought friends and family to see Gizmo too, helping them to understand that the animals we farm are just the same in love and sentience as the pets we dote on in our homes. My love and respect always to Alena and other young folks like her who are capable of accessing the deeper truths of their hearts. Our sweet Gizmo was loved by all, especially by Alena, Ann and Leah. I hope you’re rolling in the mud with your friend Penny now, happy and at peace. Rowdy Girl Sanctuary is a haven for farmed animals and educational hub. We seek to change minds and hearts all over Texas and the world.

Yesterday we had a private tour with Marijanne and Catherine. These guys drove a whopping SEVENTEEN HOURS from way down on the NSW/VICTORIAN border, just for us! Was it worth it? Absolutely! They had a ball. Thanks so much for coming guys, we always enjoy our one on one tours, and so do the pigs, with all those extra hands for belly rubs! It's also a fabulous opportunity share knowledge with people who have their own pet pigs. Our tours are by prior arrangement, and by donation, which we leave entirely up to you 🩷🐽 Dusty, our self appointed PR pig, is always ready to greet you with a smile and a belly ready for some attention 😀 Learn more about us here ⬇️ Contentedpiginn.com Or donate to the pigs care and welfare here ⬇️ Contentedpiginn.com/donate #pigs #petpigs #lovepigs #pigsareawsome #piggies #piglife #veganfortheanimals #cute #peacelovepigs #vegan #veganfortheanimals #peacebeginsonyourplate #matesnotmeat #happy #pigrescue #pigsanctuary

Heart disease got the best of our sweet Lorna. 😔 A couple days ago, she had to be taken to the ER as (in short) excess fluid in her abdomen started putting her into respiratory distress. Her medications were no longer enough. After discussions with the veterinarian, we made the difficult decision to euthanize. She was taken too soon, but we are grateful that we were able to provide a loving, caring, safe space for her with new hen friends for just under a year. She was rescued, along with several others, by @chickenbuttmicrosanctuary from a neglectful, hoarding situation. We adopted Lorna as we had the capacity to care for another special needs, heart disease girl. Lorna, you are loved and missed. 🖤 #veganforthem #tragic #gonebutnotforgotten #chickensgotothevettoo #veganfortheanimals #friendsnotfood❤️ #🐓 #hensofinstagram #endanimalagriculture #eggsareforchickens #rip #someonenotsomething #peacebeginsonyourplate #PleaseDonteatbirds #leavethemoffyourplate #RescueChickensOfInstagram #ChickensOfInstagram #StopEatingAnimals #EatingAnimalsIsWeird #chickens #🐓❤️ #stopbuyinganimalproducts #microsanctuary #chickensofinstagram #supportsanctuaries #chickensofinsta #lovedandmissed #hardtimes #hens #specialneedschicken

Some people think a plant based diet is difficult, but if they had to choose between a dog burger and a veggie burger, they would probably choose the veggie burger. That’s how easy it is for me to choose between a cow burger and a veggie burger. I don’t see the type of animal; I see a sentient being, a life. Why love one but eat the other? #friendsnotfood #peacebeginsonyourplate

… 🦋 Happy Saturday 🦋 A painting, haiku and post to remind us all that we have the power to make a difference. Wishing you all a peaceful, kind day. Enjoy the wonder of the sky, sun, rainbows and flowers. Breathe in the magic of nature, feel gratitude for all that is good in your life. And maybe, just for today leave meat off your plate. Let your thoughts rest with the animals who enjoy all the above also. Perhaps you will reflect on all that you can achieve by being kind to all kinds. Maybe today is the day to start afresh, by saving lives and feeling the great joy and peace it brings. #peacebeginsonyourplate #meatfreeday #tryvegan #smallstepsbigchanges #haiku #myhaiku #haikupoetry #animalart #artivist #paintingforthesoul #sheepart #artforlife #alllifematters #plantbasedlife #wedontneedmeat #eatkindly #makeadifferencetoday #onedayatatime #letyourheartguideyou

And I sure think we can all get behind that statement. I mean, really? How are you going to justify that your momentary taste pleasure is more important than the entire life and conscious experience of an individual animal?? That’s psychopathic! We are not wild animals! We have grocery stores! Stop live action role playing that you are a frontiersman or a lion! It’s utterly ridiculous. Humanity is defined, at its best, by its moral reasoning and technological advancement. We have big old brains that can think us out of all kinds of problems. If you use this brain to justify killing an innocent being because you like the taste or convenience??? You’re using logic that has justified some of the worst moral atrocities of our time. Oh, and stop saying vegans are part of a conspiracy. That’s absurd - a whopping 3% of Americans are estimated to be vegan. How are you going to say that this tiny vegan minority is an elaborate conspiracy? Thinking that way just means Big Ag has you bamboozled. Sorry, it’s true. The USDA basically works for animal ag industries. Make the right choice for animals, the planet and your own health! Choose vegan! Sealy, pictured here, was like a family member! To think I used to eat turkey sandwiches makes me hurt all over from the inside to the outside–from my bones to my skin! At Rowdy Girl Sanctuary, we are working hard to pierce the veil between consumers and the vile animal agricultural industries that kill trillions of animals each year. And we’re doing it right in Texas! My husband and I rescue farmed animals like Sealy from a violent end to be able to live out their natural lives peacefully, surrounded by compassion and love. We live each day to make up for our past as cattle ranchers and flesh-eaters, before coming into our vegan awakening and seeing the light inside each and every living being on the planet.

This is Babe. An 18 month old Landrace pig saved from slaughter as a baby. She is just like our beautiful Mousey! Babe is seeking a family to love her forever. She has lots of love to give and is a sweet girl, but needs a big paddock with secure fencing suitable for big pigs. She is currently sad because she is being contained in a small pen. The current fencing isn't suitable for her and her people have been told she needs to go 😢 If you could offer Babe a loving home and have suitable infrastructure for piggies, please contact us. Obviously she will only he rehomed as a pet, and proper checks will be done on suitability. Located in Bilambil, NSW.

Y’all, I have seen some of the darkest parts of humanity. Never have I seen the brutality coming from a farmed animal that I have personally experienced coming from a human being. I know animals have and show aggression - but not to the diabolical extent of the human race. The animals I know have different personalities with differing tendencies but they are never sadistic. When they are treated with love and kindness and feel safe and secure, they are absolute sweeties, each in their own way. I would like to think this is true of humanity as well, but looking back does give me pause. Some folks just seem beyond redemption in this life. Maybe I’m wrong and I hope so. But I will keep my distance and let them work that out with God while I’m hanging with the animals and folks who have honored and cultivated the brighter parts of their nature. Going vegan and sober truly has helped me access these bright parts. Walking this road has allowed me to both soften and strengthen and grow into a better version of myself, one who can trust more fully AND gauge more accurately who to trust. And I love this community of ethical vegan angels I have found. Y’all lift me up daily and challenge me to keep learning and growing. Let’s keep enlarging our circle and shedding light on the most brutal and unnecessary murder of life on planet earth.

I remember when I was 16 my mother called the school saying I couldn’t and wouldn’t dissect a frog, and could I do something else? I did something else. It was expected to be okay to cut up a carcass and poke around their body parts then go home and eat already cut up body parts. Then love and play with the dog. Because society assigned family status to her. I’m sure I went home after not being able to cut up a frog and ate parts of another animal someone else cut up for me. Then loved my cat. I was in the throes of carnism: the invisible belief system that allows us to eat and wear some animals & assign higher status to others. We didn’t choose any of it. I could never had eaten a cow I locked eyes with. But I absolutely could have eaten a cow someone else did and presented her flesh and fluids to me in neatly packaged containers with familiar marketing, slogans, and branding I recognized. I communicated with animals then as I do now. I was also in deep with the world’s view of profiting from animals. Even though they were ‘all the same’ to me. Commodify some, assign family status to others. Oppose dog factory farms & fund other factory farms by eating + wearing cows and pigs. Then the frog. I had a visceral hard no and my mother knew it. She knew even if she didn’t understand it all. She was a nurse. Dissecting a frog wasn’t a big deal for her. But she knew my heart and that I’d either fail biology or help me get credit a peaceful way. Carnism is systemic psychological conditioning. As ‘isms’ are. We don’t have choices at birth. Someone else feeds us until we can ourselves. Until someone sees the hypocrisy in it all - and re-aligns their choices by extending their compassion to all animals. In hindsight, the frog was also one of my early messengers. Commodifying animals takes extreme oppression and brutal, unethical practices. If there were windows in slaughterhouses, their ruse would be over. But we see and know now. No one can make us participate in something we deeply don’t believe in. My passion is helping ppl who feel pulled toward peace. And it begins on the plate. It FEELS aligned because it is. 🙏🏻🌱🕊️
