  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  I could not have written this book without those who expressed interest in women’s wellness. It is you that fueled my imagination and helped me turn an idea into something tangible. Thank you for asking questions, keeping me on my toes, and motivating me to keep learning, sharing, and connecting with the community we’ve created together. I so appreciate you reading along and keeping up with The Glowing Fridge!

  To my mom and dad, for the endless encouragement from the very beginning, when no one knew what my little vegan blog could turn into. Thank you for letting me chase my dreams and allowing me to dabble in my passions until I found something that made me happy. Thank you for being there for me no matter what and sharing my blog with everyone you meet!

  To my Grandma Shirley, for always steering me to think positively, for helping me to believe that everything happens for a reason, and that everything is going to be okay. Thank you for listening and being a guiding light in my life. You know what I mean, grandma! And to my Grandma June, you are forever missed.

  To my love, Terry, for being my biggest supporter of all throughout this process. Thank you for not letting me sulk in my sorrows when I couldn’t see an end in sight. Thank you for pushing me to grow stronger and showing me what determination truly looks like. Thank you for not complaining when I hadn’t showered for days straight or made you a proper meal for weeks at a time. Most of all, thank you for keeping me laughing and for this amazing life we are lucky enough to share together.

  To Elizabeth and Joanie, for always making my recipes, trying everything I blog about and making me feel at home in your sweet family. You don’t even know how much your support means to me!

  And thank you to my talented photographer Sara, from Sara Hilton Photography, for helping to capture special moments that are sprinkled throughout this book!
