I'm Christina, the creative force behind Graceful Pause. I'm thrilled to share my passion for animals and cruelty-free living with you. Growing up surrounded by pets and nature in Indiana, I developed a deep connection with creatures of the four-legged kind.
In a world that often forgets its connection to animals, I've made it my mission to raise awareness and make a difference. From my early teens, animals and nature provided solace and inspiration. And now, a mom of four wonderful children and an adorable mini-dachshund, Zoey, I continue to weave my love for animals into our daily lives.
I've been exploring cruelty-free cooking through trial and error since March of 2013. I was lucky to have the unwavering support of my family, when, after watching the documentary, Vegucated, I declared that I would no longer contribute to animal suffering. We've embraced a plant-based lifestyle ever since. I've even created our own family cookbook, filled with delicious recipes that align with my values. The best part? Our cruetly-free journey hasn't been a burden on our budget or health. In fact, our food expenses remain comparable to the typical American diet and our doctors continually comment on our good health.
Here's to a future filled with compassion, connection, and mouthwatering meals!
Keep spreading compassion and never stop being the voice for the voiceless.
God Bless,
Christina.
