Dear friends, I made it another year! Today is my 47th birthday and I couldn't be happier to be alive. I am so grateful to be in good health (I don't take that for granted!!)! I'm also surrounded by so many wonderful people and doing what I love: growing community around wholesome values, starting with eating nutritious food that's kind to the planet and all beings.

I don't think it can get better than that!

It's also my daughter's birthday so we have a busy weekend, but I wanted to share the joy with my annual birthday sale: you get 23.5% off everything and I donate 23.5% of your fees to the Captain Paul Watson Foundation. Their crews need all the support they can get to continue safeguarding the seas and defend marine life.

How to share the joy: use coupon code BIRTHDAY47 on any of the following before December 31st:

My book Flow in the Kitchen isn't discounted on Amazon, but I'll donate 47% of royalties for sales between now and December 31st.

Don't need anything but moved to share the joy anyway? That's fantastic! Just visit the Captain Paul Watson Foundation website to donate directly.

What brings me the most joy is to know that you care about what you cook and cook like you care. It makes the world a better place - thank you!

Grateful for you (yes: YOU!!),

Brigitte

p.s. A whole foods 🌱 plant-based diet isn't a silver bullet, but study after study shows that it helps a lot with what we think of as ordinary signs of aging - and it sure feels that way to me! If you're not sure where to start, I think you'll love my 100 Days of Flow in the Kitchen.
