Vida Vegan Bloggers Conference is over but just attending and mingling with these amazing vegans inspired me to start writing again. I didn’t get to meet all of the bloggers I wanted to. But I was able to meet the author of The Gay Vegans (one of my favorite blogs). However, I wasn’t able to … Continue reading
