This article is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your story. So often in vegan, or any health related writing the focus seems to be on the finish line. I love writing about the transition. I particularly resonate with your 4th tip. For so long I would read a headline then just repeat it rather than deepening my understanding to the point of actually being able to discuss the topic in depth. The more I learn the more fluid my conversations and writing become. Much like you say in the 2nd tip, taking in different opinions is vital in cultivating a diverse knowledge base along with continued personal practice. Glad to have found your account! I'm new to steemit it and look forward to enjoying more of your content!
