My mother died 28 years ago. She lived much longer than the doctors expected, they said it was because of her diet.  When she found out she had breast cancer she researched and began eating a macrobiotic diet. I was young and remember her eating it but did not understand it. When she was dying she asked me to eat the macrobiotic diet too. I had no idea what it was and had not heard of it again until a couple of weeks ago on Oprah, I saw and listened to Alicia speak and she talked about a macrobiotic diet. I was so captivated that I went out and bought her book. I have been reading it ever since.  I would love to learn how to cook vegetarian. I just don't know where to begin.  I eat fresh fruits and vegetables everyday, my diet mostly consists of these.  I don't like red meat.  I have been eating chicken and fish.  I went on line to see where my husband and I could take cooking classes.  I think this is where I will begin.  I need to learn about different foods and where to find them.  Thanks for opening my eyes again to good health.

Wow!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you so much for the book you have written and this website. The book has changed my life. I have changed not only the way I eat but the way I look at the world. I carry the book with me wherever I go because I know there are little things in there I want to look up all the time since I'm still new to this lifestyle. I love the website just as much because I always learn something new that changes me when you post something. I always look forward to finding out what you have updated on the website, and I have found so much useful information on here from you and other members. So THANK YOU and keep it going!

Wow, And still growing!

I have been a vegetarian for 8 years and a vegan for 4 years now. I appreciate all the research and effort you put into your book. Much of the information I have read previously, but there were tid-bits that I did learn... which is always good! Thank you for writing a book that has ALL areas of kindness covered in one convenient place and is written in a way that people can truely understand.
I have begun trying out your recipies and even though I am not the best chef in the world, even I cannot make them taste bad. And my 21 month old vegetarian daughter is well on her way to learning the Kind Ways of Life too!!

Just joined the 15,000 + group! Congrats. I love this shot by the way "KIND" ;)

Hi Alicia!  I just joined The Kind Life today and I am very excited to stay in touch with all the great information you share with us!  Keep up the great work! 

Hey, I just joined today! Maybe I was #15,000?!?! : ) I stayed up super late and read half of the book last night. I am sold. At least for 30 days. Let's see if it lasts longer..... Thank you! : )
