What does it take to transform a forgotten neighborhood park into an asset for the community? How do you figure out what you're drawn to, and then become a part of that industry? Sara Hirschler is the Marketing & Membership Manager at Fairmount Park Conservancy, a non-profit in Philadelphia. Sara played a significant role in transforming Clemente Park & Playground into a welcoming space where the community wants to gather.The Fairmount Park Conservancy is an organization I have admired for years. Since Sara started working there in 2013, when there were only 7 employees, the team has more than doubled. They even have a couple new opportunities open. Check them out at https://myphillypark.org/who-we-are/opportunities/!Something I learned from my conversation with Sara is that commitment to your purpose, or something that draws you in, can lead to incredible experiences. Sara's story about Clemente Park & Playground, the bootstrapping improvements she led, remind me that what you're passionate about doesn't have to be your job. However, if you do it with commitment and you do it well it certainly can be! A few references you may be interested in reading more about:Fairmount Park Conservancy: https://myphillypark.org/10-mile Broad Street Run training route mapped by Fairmount Park Conservancy in 2020, and the reason I contacted Sara: https://myphillypark.org/we-mapped-a-10-mile-route-through-fairmount-park-for-the-2020-broad-street-run/Local parks, Clemente Park & Playground and Liberty LandsLandmark self expression and leadership program: https://www.landmarkworldwide.com/Isa Does It, by Isa Chandra Moskowitz; that and more at https://www.theppk.com/The Oh She Glows Cookbook, by Angela Liddon: https://ohsheglows.com/the-book/Follow along:whenyougrowup.orgwww.instagram.com/whenyougrowup_podcast/

Amy chats with author Angela Liddon. Go vegan in 2021 with "Oh She Glows," the bestselling classic vegan cookbook packed full of over 100 mouth-watering recipes.

I believe in living a healthy happy life, for myself, my loved ones and future generations who are watching and learning. I put my heart and soul into my accountability groups in the hopes that you will join me on that journey and that together we can meet our goals. It gives me great joy to share an accomplishment that can be directly related to the insights learned and shared in those groups. Today I am helping launch the Wine Loving Vegan with Seafood Exceptions blog, hosted by none other than my mom, Kathy Winderl. She has been a faithful member of my accountability groups from the beginning. She always puts her heart into them by really thinking about the questions I ask and the assignments I give, sharing her thoughts and building discussion among the other members.Some people become vegan due to concerns about animal’s rights. Mom decided to try a vegan eating plan when she found out that it was possible to avoid medication for extremely high cholesterol if she stuck to a vegan diet. After some experimentation she found she could keep her numbers in control and still take advantage of the wonderful Omega 3 fatty acids in her dearly loved seafood. In one of my accountability groups we worked on defining ourselves so that we stayed true to our health goals. My mom defined herself as a “wine-loving-vegan with seafood exceptions”She felt so good with this description that she got it printed on a coffee cup and then a wine glass. She loves experimenting with new vegan dishes, (often accompanied by a glass of red wine) and in another accountability group someone suggested she look at the “Oh She Glows” cookbook by Angela Liddon. She fell in love with the cookbook and tried many of the recipes, tweaking a little here and there to fit her likes and the likes of her loved ones. She was so excited about everything she was learning and the foods she was creating that she wanted to share her findings with other people who might be looking for vegan recipes or trying to decide if a vegan lifestyle is for them.She decided to write a blog. Starting at square one, knowing nothing about blogging, she researched, asked questions and started cooking and documenting the recipes, as she worked her way through Angela Liddon’s cookbook. She had the help of numerous people, especially her husband Fred, as taste tester, the website design skills of Julie Martin of Julie Martin Designs and the labels that got her started made by Kim Winderl, her other daughter, of Label Me Happy Crafts.The blog starts with 5 of her favorite recipes and she gives details about each one.Is it vegan and non-vegan friendly?Is it kid friendly?How easy is it to prepare?Do I regularly have the ingredients on hand?Do I recognize the ingredients, and is it hard to find in the store?She then tells the different ways she has tweaked it, and any other interesting things she thought about it. She is honest in her blog. This is a flop, this is good. Chicken nugget kid doesn’t like it. She hopes this gives people a chance to be more successful because being vegan can be very expensive and flops are money and time wasters.Each week she will present 2 new recipes by Friday. Eating healthy can be fun and purposeful and you do not have to be vegan or vegan seeking to appreciate this blog and recipe collection.One of the constant topics of conversations I have with clients is the importance of celebrating our wins or acknowledging our champagne moments because it’s too easy to work hard and let that victory come and go. I wasn’t going to let that happen with mom! There was too much hard work, time, blood sweat and tears to not have a day to toast with champagne and share her victory with family friends and the world. So, raise your glass of champagne as we toast the launch of the “Wine Loving Vegan with Seafood Exception.

As a registered dietitian and personal trainer, people come to me for help on their journey to be healthy and fit. I can give them information on food choices, and exercises and suggest that they read my book Direction Not Perfection, Accountability and Coaching from your Wine-loving Dietitian for in depth information on the subject. This is definitely a great place to start your journey. However, as I describe in my book, to be truly successful you need to embrace the concept of accountability. You need to know that someone is there to help you set achievable goals. They are interested in your progress and will be waiting to hear how things are going with you so that they can cheer your wins or motivate you when you are struggling. Knowing that someone will be checking in with you helps motivate you to action. That is where my role as an accountability coach comes in.Accountability is not only important, it is vital. People who lose weight and keep it off are constantly checking in with their chosen person or group of people. I am here for you for one on one coaching. But, for a different experience join one of my accountability groups.Today I interviewed my mom, Kathy, about her group experiences. She joined me in my first group, several years ago, not really having any idea what she was getting into but willing to help me get started. That was the first of many groups and she loves them and can’t wait for the next one to start. The format has changed through the years. There have been different lengths of time, different focuses, specific tasks and friendly competition for points. We have continued to tweak the format to find the best fit. The format that seems to work best for everyone is a one-week class, starting the first Monday of every month. Just like we tweaked the class format you can tweak your goals to meet your needs at the present time.Group Details:-One week long, starting the first Monday in the month.-Help from me to set SMART Goals for the week. They can be one big goal or several smaller ones. They do not have to be about health or fitness. Achieving goals in any subject helps to create a feeling of accomplishment which carries over to other areas of your life.-Private Facebook group where you can interact as much or as little as you are comfortable with. I suggest at least commenting daily about how you are doing or posting a picture. It doesn’t have to be of you. Post your smoothie, your bike, your feet on the treadmill, even a beautiful sunrise to start the day. This helps to keep you involved in the group and gives you a chance to see what others are posting. You may find people with the same issues you are having who have suggestions on how to handle them.-Daily motivational video from me on various topics.-Fee: only $25 for a week of beautiful accountability, encouragement, ideas, recipes, thoughtful conversation and accomplished goals.The groups are non-threatening. No one is there to judge other people. Everyone has something they are working on and you can get hints and ideas from the others and also you can share information that you may know, that can help someone else.Mom has come a long way with the help of the accountability groups. Each time she finds ah-ha moments that really help her and become part of her daily routine. She is a self-declared Vegan with Seafood Exceptions due to health issues and regularly shares delicious recipes with the group. Another group member recommended a Vegan cookbook to her which she fell in love with. Angela Liddon’s Oh She Glows Cookbook. Experimenting with the recipes has led to a new endeavor for her. She is writing a blog, detailing each recipe in the book and the experiences she has with it, as well as pictures of her version of the result. She describes things she liked or didn’t like and ways she tweaked it to substitute ingredients, add meat or to be gluten free so that she can serve it to different members of the family. She even has the blessing of the author who is excited to have her describing the recipes. Her blog will be debuting very soon.Please join me, mom and other people just like you, who have changes they want to make. See how just a week of accountability can help you reach small goals and give you the momentum to work on those long term goals.

Angela Liddon is the voice behind the "Oh She Glows" vegan recipe blog and discusses how the food we put into our bodies has a huge impact on how we look and feel each day.

I wish that people knew the impact of their choices...every little choice they're making throughout the day has on this world, and other people, and other beings. The 11th interview in this series, features Kristen Leemon. In her free time, outside her "9-5" Kristen is a world traveller and vegan blogger residing in San Diego, CA. Kristen has been vegan for 3 years. In this interview, she helps us understand why she became vegan and shares with us her personal vegan journey. Mentioned in this interview: Angela Liddon  & Oh She Glows, The Plot Restaurant, Wrench & Rodent (referring to their vegan menu)

Angela Liddon shares secrets and tips from the Oh She Glows Cookbook.

On this episode, Dave, Jami, Tony and Joel each made a recipe from one of the most circulated cookbooks in our collection (The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon; Barefoot Contessa Family Style by Ina Garten; Polish Cooking by Marianna Olszewska Heberle; and The Pioneer Woman Cooks Food From My Frontier by Ree Drummond) and convened in our conference room with enough portions to share amongst themselves.

Sweetness is the Antidote to Bitterness It was a week for an unusual amount of baking. For me, this week, there was baking for co-workers, and baking for students, and baking for classroom guests. Amongst these was baking as part of a thank you gift for a group of four nurses who had traveled to give a talk to one of my classes on campus. They had had a full day, and a hard day, in their hospital workplace before driving the two hours to spend time with me and my students. They would then drive two hours home, after our night class. As part of their thank you gift – one of several thank you gifts I baked this week - there was a gift bag full of a series of treats, as - with the help of Angela Liddon from Oh She Glows - I continued to experiment with the new paradigm:  it doesn't have to be bad to be good. So, there were vegan, and gluten free, refined sugar-free, “real food containing only”:  dream bars, and cookie dough snacking squares, and brownies, and peanut butter truffles, and a really fun little jar of caramel sauce. In one case this week, I made a batch for a work colleague, knowing that peanut butter/chocolate treats were among the favorite treats of his wife. So, there was the box for him, and the box for him to give away to her. It was just so lovely to observe that one of the best gifts I could give to him was something he can give and to her. Sweetness - it can be easy to forget, and sometimes hard to see - is the antidote to bitterness, in the same way that kindness is the antidote to aggression or humility the antidote to pride. Hard things happen. They can leave a bad taste in the mouth. It can be good to know the intentional skill of how to make things sweet again.   It can be an exercise in paying attention, and awareness, to know how to distinguish, and choose, the kind of sweetness that will actually nourish. Perhaps that's why I enjoy the playfulness of the vegan, gluten free, refined sugar-free, so- healthy-it-hurts, utterly easy to make and yummy delights from Oh She Glows:  it doesn't have to be bad to be good. It can just be “all good”. What actually is this sweetness that can help us to feel that good taste in our mouths again, and help to bring us back to a place of relative balance when we're working with hard things? I'm here in eastern Canada, in the north, so perhaps it's like asking the question “can we choose maple syrup over white sugar?”; “can we choose something that's real over something ‘wrapped in plastic’, that might look good but is likely to actually cause us pain?”. Part of what happens, in the beginning of the beginning of spring in the north, as we've explored together, is that the sap of the trees begins to flow again. The sap will pull deep into the trees through the depth of the long winter, and part of coming out of that period of cold and darkness is the time when the sap begins to flow again. Here on the east coast, in Maritime region of Canada, in about February or early March, it's possible to put a tap inside of a maple tree, and to draw out the sweetness of that maple sap.  It is then boiled, and condensed, to make the sweetness of maple syrup, then transformed into any amount of breakfast – and other - works of magic. It can be useful to observe that tapping into sweetness like that is part of how we can get our own sap to start flowing again. In my experience, when hard things happen, it can be possible to pull deep inside ourselves, and to somewhat cut-off:  like having nicks, and corners, and parts of ourselves where our own juiciness has somehow spilled out onto the ground, or hardened deep inside, like a tree shivering its way through the winter. Hard things happen. It can leave a bad taste, and become frozen slightly like that. It can be hard to wake our way out of it again, the way that our trees do in the spring. So it becomes an exercise in remembering how to reach deep inside of our inside worlds, or how to reach deep inside of our outside worlds, and get our juices flowing again. Can we reach in, and touch once again, the sap or the juiciness of life itself, to once again begin to feel more alive? Most often I drink my tea black. An uncle, now several decades deceased, used to tell me it was because I was sweet enough. From time to time, it  does happen that it's good to put milk and honey - and often some ginger in that tea to warm me up again - and bring back some sweetness after hard times. Where does that sweetness come from? How do we reach in and touch that juiciness of life again? It is actually like the sun in the sky. The sun might be covered by clouds. For a time we might feel like there is no sun. We can say to ourselves, “there is no sun out today”, when in fact the sun doesn't go anywhere. It is the earth that moves.  The clouds are not as solid they appear. They are not really real. They come, and they go. It's an old Buddhist metaphor for the nature of mind, which is said to be - like the sky – clear, bright, warm and wise, radiant, intelligent and aware. Thought and emotions:  they come, and they go, like the clouds.  The sun is constant. It's a older metaphor of the Indian subcontinent that life itself is - in its nature - juicy, and rich in sapfulness. It's a word we've seen, called “rasa”. This vitality and vibrancy, richness and delight, like maple syrup or honey:  it is the basic taste of life itself, and it is always possible to discover it again, even if it may feel - from time to time - that instead of honey in that tea there is lemon. How do we find that sweetness again? That sweetness hasn't gone anywhere.  It is constant. That sweetness is the nature of life itself. Yet sometimes we do need to remind ourselves of this. So let me tell you about the visiting nurses, who were my guests in class this week. They had had a hard day in the clinic at the hospital. They had worked very intensely, especially with one woman who was in a very difficult domestic situation. By virtue of their role, the nurses had offered: counsel and support, information and advice, and a safe place to come to where this person could shape some perspective, and work through the process of perhaps choosing to make different choices, helping her situation to become more safe, more respectful, and more kind. That particular day, one day among many - when that client at the clinic may choose to do something very different tomorrow - they had had to watch the client return home, knowing it was likely to be an environment that was unsafe, disrespectful, and unkind. They talked about how hard it was to watch her go home. Then they came, and spent time with my students and I, and there was such joy in the quality of the companionship that they had amongst themselves that it was utterly contagious. So we shared in that joy, and delight in the companionship, as we met each other as friends of a common friend. They were so happy to talk to the students. The students were so happy to talk to them, and there was sweetness in that exchange that was medicine of a kind that is real, even if it’s not prescribed by doctors or sold. There was sweetness, that was medicine, in the quality of the companionship, and delight in the company one with the other. Knowing that they were coming - and boldly experimenting the new paradigm that yummy treats don't have to be bad to be good - part of their thank-you gift was: dream bars, and cookie dough squares, almond brownies, and peanut butter truffles, and magic no-cook caramel sauce: creations Angela Liddon, the Canadian Food artist behind “Oh She Glows”. There was something delightful in that exchange of sweetness, the delight of the companionship communicated in the gesture that somehow embodies the sweetness of life itself:  no refined sugar, but a touch of maple syrup, and the sweetness of the laughter and the warmth, the support and the care, the honor and the respect of one and the other. What is this sweetness, this delight that is the antidote to bitterness? The love and the kindness, the warmth and the friendship, the compassion and the care, the humor and delight, the wisdom and the patience, the forgiveness and the generosity:  the sweetness of life itself that we offer to one another all the time. It is our basic nature. Sometimes it comes in a gift bag with tissue paper. More often it comes with a hug. It is obvious as the space in the room, as obvious as the warmth of the blood in our veins, so obvious we can forget how to see it, so obvious it can be hard to notice. Why are there gifts on birthdays? Chocolate and flowers on Valentine's Day?  Why do we celebrate with feasting? The flowers, the chocolate, the feasting, the gifts:  they are ways that the inherent natural sweetness that is life itself symbolically takes form, shifting and moving from one to the other. I gave my work colleague two boxes of treats:  one for him and one for his wife. The sweetest gift that I can give to him is a gift of favorite treats that he can give, in turn, to the one that he most loves in all the world.  It is warmth, and kindness, respect and love that moves from one to the other, through the offering of sweetness.  It moves between us as humans – from one to the other – in the way that the sap that is life itself moves through the many branches of a single tree. Sweetness:  it is the antidote to bitterness. There are, perhaps, ways that we can try to explore this that arguably hurt us more than help. It is possible, I'm told, to take refuge in a box of Haagen-Dazs ice cream, wishing to numb away the troubles of the world, in the way that one might do with alcohol or drugs, choosing a processed “what appears to be real, but isn't really real” kind of sweetness, the kind that will hurt instead of heal, and be poison instead of medicine. Yet, the sapfullness, the sweetness of life itself -  vitality and dynamism, kindness, compassion, warmth and well-being, generosity and open-heartedness:  this moves, in many vehicles, from one to the other, making all of our lives richer and stronger. We know how to make juice out of our lemons, how to handle the hard things and overcome them.  We can also put honey in our tea. An old Indian tradition, the sweetness of life itself - the sapfulness called “rasa”-  was not so much described in terms of maple syrup. South Asia isn't a land of the big red-leafed maple trees like Canada. This “rasa”, or the sapfulness of life itself, is embodied in the classical Hindu offerings that humans give to each other, and that humans offer to the gods in the context of temple ritual practice. So it's flowers and fruit, rice, milk and ghee, and this often symbolized by the sweetness of honey. So let me offer you a passage from the Brihadaranyaka-Upanishad, one of the early works of philosophy in ancient Indian tradition, dating from the Axial Age of human philosophy, in about 500 B.C. From the Brihadaranyaka-Upanishad, Book 2, Chapter 5:  “This earth is the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of this earth. The radiant and immortal person in the earth, and, in the case of the body, the radiant and immortal person residing in the physical body. They are both one's self. It is the immortal. It is life itself. It is the whole. (1) The wind is the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of this wind. The radiant and immortal person in the wind, and, in the case of the body, the radiant and immortal person residing in breath. They are both one's self. It is the immortal. It is life itself. It is the whole. (4) The sun is the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of this sun. The radiant and immortal person in the sun, and, in the case of the body, the radiant and immortal person residing in sight. They are both one's self. It is the immortal. It is life itself. It is the whole. (5) This space is the honey of all beings, and all beings are the honey of this space. The radiant and immortal person in space, and, in the case of the body, the radiant and immortal person residing in this space within the heart. They are both one's self. It is the immortal. It is life itself. It is the whole.” (10) Sweetness is the antidote to bitterness. If we're feeling torn apart, reconnecting with that sweetness of life itself can help to make us feel whole again. I offer you some sweet treats to try from Canadian food artist Angela Liddon’s “Oh She Glows”. Here is her vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, grain free, freezer-friendly, five minute Magic No-Cook Caramel Sauce. 1/3 cup (75 ml) virgin coconut oil softened ½ cup pure maple syrup ¼ cup smooth raw cashew butter (home ground from nuts or store bought)(you use peanut butter instead, if you wish, for peanut caramel sauce). 2 tablespoons raw coconut nector [for best flavor and caramel colour.  You can swap 2 tablespoons (30 ml) brown rice syrup and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) fresh lemon juice, if needed.] ¼ to ¾ teaspoon (1 to 4 ml) fine sea salt, to taste Process ingredients in a food processor. Spoon them into a jar (makes 1 cup or 250 ml). Serve immediately, chill in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for 1-2 months. It will firm up when chilled; it will easily melt heated over low heat on the stove top. Serve over dairy or non-dairy ice cream, with nuts if you wish, use as a fruit dip, or otherwise enjoy according to your imagination. May you enjoy the sweetness of life. The quality of the relationship that you have with the outside world directly relates to the quality of relationship you have with yourself.  Come see us at “justbreatheyouareenough.com” and join the JBYAE community.
