happy almost new year!

The year 2011 was a big one for The Kind Life and for kind causes around the world. Here are some highlights that happened on the site this past year:

The Kind Book Club began
Guest bloggers Lea Michele Ed Begley Jr. Dr. Joel Fuhrman and many more contributed blogs to The Kind Life

We had our first ever live chat…and there will be more to come!
My Open Sky store opened offering huge discounts on my fave kind products
The Kind Life celebrated its two-year anniversary!

…and some highlights from the news in 2011:

Oprah hosted her first vegan episode and vegan week
Vegan documentary Forks Over Knives was released in theaters
Farm Sanctuary hosted its first National Conference to End Factory Farming
A 600-year old dog meat festival was canceled in eastern China

And personally this was a huge year for me … because I became a mommy! I can't wait to see what 2012 holds. What are you looking forward to most in the new year?
