I’m basically a link hoarder – I bookmark everything. Well, maybe not everything, but things that interest me – which turns out to be a lot! I went through my links to collect the ones that you would hopefully find the most useful, enlightening and informative. 

In addition to these, you may also want to look at my Essentials and Transitioning to Veganism pages, as well as my post on Vegan Nutrition.

Please be sure check back periodically – I’ll be keeping this page updated as I discover more sites to share.
