Scottish by birth. But lived in Texas since 1989. I’m a retired teacher who enjoys meditation and volunteering. I also read a lot. And do some writing on spiritual topics. I’ve been lacto-vegetarian since 1991. And 95% for vegan for couple of years. I did go 100% vegan last year, but because of insufficient calories lost 25lbs rapidly. So I need to learn how to eat enough without dairy.
