It is all about the story . . . everyone has a story; “their story” that has “Shaped” their lives to who they are today. After reading Nele’s book “Plant–Based Made Easy” her story is remarkable. I always say when you change one’s life – it is a domino effect. Nele first changed her own life by researching and taking action on her own nutrition and health. She shared it with her family. Now, today thousands of people are eating healthier because of one person’s “metamorphosis” and her passion to create an impact on our world one person at a time.
I do believe in serendipity – moments when the world and people come together to do their “magic” at the right place and the right time. My “story” with Nele is a serendipitous moment and a blessing on so many levels of my life. I am a cookbook author and we were creating our first “plant-based” cookbook. Plant-based cooking was not my expertise, but I am passionate about living the lifestyle. I am what I call a “fast-food” plant-based eater. Nuts, seeds, veggies, fruits, juicing, salads – the grab and go kind of gal. So, when we decided to do our next cookbook on plant-nutritious recipes for the whole family – we chose to reach out to the experts. We wanted to create a cookbook that was fun, easy and delicious. So, we decided to get “friends” on board that were masters in the “plant-based” world. A dear friend of mine introduced me to Nele. She said she was genius and a guru at plant-based cooking. Cooking from scratch was a totally different way of cooking for me. I was thrilled and so honored to meet her. I wanted to learn everything!
Nele and I Skype one early morning (early for me – late for Nele) and we became fast beautiful friends for life. Nele has a heart of gold and so eager to spread the plant-based word to support all of you in your transformation.
I am so grateful to work with you Nele. You are my rock star! Together we will change the world one person at a time.
