The jodilewiscollection is back in business! This time with a mission.

Save the animals.

In the last month, my love of animals has taken on new meaning. June 10th, with the help of an amazing vegan coach, I made the transition from vegetarian to vegan. It's been an eye opening, heart-breaking and so-far pretty fuckin' cool experience.

Being part of this unique network of peace promoting, compassion filled, progressive thinking community has challenging and life changing.

Jodi Lewis Collection is filled with fun, kitschy accessories, and home goods. Inventory is growing daily and 20% of proceeds are donated to animal charities. Right now Rancho Relaxo

Thanks for checking in.

A recent Facebook post by my teenage cousin, she asked, "Will everything work out? I really hope all my hard work pays off!" I'm not sure what she was referring to, specifically, but appreciated her concern for the future.

It made me think of one of my favorite weekend jams, by D Train called Keep on.
Keep On. Good advice for someone wondering if it'll all work out.

Keep on steppin' 'til you reach higher ground
Can't nobody turn you 'round
Step on up you can claim the highest star
Straight ahead, it's not very far!

Keep on, keep on

With the strength of your mind you can be set free
You can know the? from your past
Search deep inside and you will see
Time has come at last!

Keep on, keep on
Keep keepin' on, you gotta keep keepin' on

You can make it if you only try
Don't stop reaching 'til you touch the sky
Life has many ups and downs
Plant your feet on solid ground! keep on!

Keep on, keep on
Keep keepin' on, you gotta keep keepin' on

Through the strength of your mind you can be set free
You can know the? from your past

Search deep inside and you will see
Time has come at last!

Keep on, keep on
Keep keepin'

GREAT NEWS!

According to the Humane Society International, Switzerland has pledged to ban the sale of cosmetics containing ingredients newly tested on animals, which will spare rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats unnecessary pain and suffering.

This makes Switzerland the 35th country to take legal action toward helping end cosmetic animal testing since the launch of HSI's global campaign in 2012.

For those make-up loving individuals, like myself, here is information on companies that don't test on animals.

You have a choice in make-up, make it a compassionate one!

Looking forward to an evening with Gene Baur, surrounding myself with individuals who consider animals equally important to the world as people are. My kind of crowd.
