RUNgiaRUN

23 04 12

If you're from New Zealand and you're exposed to a lot of Maori culture, you were probably confused by that title for a moment. Just to clarify, it says "run gia run" (not "ru ngia run")

Carrying on from yesterdays effort to find positive vegan-ish stories on the internet, Gia's blog is a good example of positive reinforcement. I don't see much carnivore bashing there, and she doesn't appear to beat the vegan drum too hard either.

This is refreshing. On the surface, a lot of vegan/vegetarian content is kinda sanctimonious and annoying.

Gia appears to be completely in love with what she does (running) and has found the best way for her to go about it.

I get that for some people it's trendy to be a vegan. And for some carnivores veganism is a weakness; almost to the degree that there should be some sort of category in the Special Olympics for them.

But for others, like Gia, it appears that it's all about choices that work (for her) and a want to share the joy those choices have bought.

It's that kind of joy for what you're doing that makes people want to be relatable to your actions, and maybe enact change in themselves. 

Imagine if you liked something you did so much, you didn't have time to focus on the negative of it's opposite.

Pretty nice way to live, huh?
