Yes, absolutely! That's something I am consistently told! Being able to show people what can be done has such a profound impact on their willingness to give it a go and this is a perfect platform to share on!
I know, when I started my change, I actually didn't have anyone to look to. I didn't even think to look online for someone as an inspiration. I just kind of dove in. The first time, I ended up letting society convince me to switch back to vegetarian (can't believe that but it's life...) but the second time, I was not giving in for the world, no matter what anyone says!
I have tried my best and like to think so :) Happy you're now a part of that! =D Happy steeming!
