Hey everyone 
Chelsea sent me over here and I'm so happy!
I could give a huge backstory of my life, but honestly there's so much silly drama in there that I'd rather this just be a fresh start here.
My name is Christina. I'm 26. I'm happily married to my soulmate, PJ. We will have been married for two years this September, and I'm unbelievably happy! I have two children from my previous marriage. Jacob will be 6 in October, and Summer will be 4 in September. Also on October 1st my youngest, Owen, will be turning 1! Time has gone by so fast!
I work as the manager at a small local organic market and in my spare time I'm certifying to become a birth doula. I also AM a doula, certifying isn't necessary to practice, but yea...still going through that process to be more "legit."
I became vegetarian at age 11 and then went vegan at 18. I had some bumps here and there until I was 23 and sadly gave up. I was battling a lot of depression, and while I don't consider that an excuse, it is a part of my life and it led me to where I am today so I don't regret it.
I'm still struggling my way back to veganism. I eat vegan a good 98% of the time, but there is still the 2% of dairy and meats that I'm working out of my diet. I decided to go more gradually this time in an attempt to avoid those bumps from transitioning last time. My goal is to eat a good portion raw, hoping for about 75-80% or more if I feel optimal, but I see that as a more long term goal.
Anyway, so that's me.
It's nice to see a lot of people here that I have known for a while on that other board, you guys are great! So happy to be here!

. Just saying I'm back and now I am proud to say I'm up to a good 99% vegan. The only time I have really not adhered to it was on my wedding anniversary I ate some ravioli in a sundried tomato cream sauce at a restaurant 
Hello there.
