New at this (sort of)

Okay, sorta new at this... I say 'sorta' because I had blogs for short times in the past but never really carried through with them.

Here's a little more about me: I was diagnosed (unofficially) with endometriosis at the age of 19 and then (officially, after a laparoscopy) diagnosed at age 21. I also have Lupus, which I was diagnosed with a few months ago. These really are terrible, yes, but I'm not going to dwell... These diseases have changed my life and really caused me to take charge of my health. Because of Lupus and endo, I eat a *mostly* gluten free (GF) diet. Because of my love for animals, the environment, my body, etc... I eat a *mostly* plant-based diet.

I'm planning on "blogging" (that term sounds really lame) about things that have helped me - in hopes that someone else out there who may be in a similar situation can benefit. I hope to open up people's eyes about the world of gluten free/vegetarian eating/cooking. I want to provide tips on alternative/natural medicine.

I want to help others while sharing my story. I would love it if you would join me through this journey into health and happiness :)
