I know it can sometimes be hard not to take food from people as you don't want to hurt their feelings or anything. I can see how vegans might struggle with that - especially if you are a people pleaser. That food looks amazing - I would want to be going there everyday.
Thanks for this post on building confidence and setting boundaries! Yep- I’m a people-pleaser, a sorry person-and a yes person. It’s really difficult to break these habits. Thanks for the great ideas.
Oh, what a neat way to support vegans! I love the idea of helping people live a lifestyle that's different than the people around them without diminishing themselves in any way. - Jeanine
Everything looks so good. And yes, I do tend to be a people pleaser, but I'm not sure if I reached the recovery stage. Or maybe, I'd rather be a pigeon pleaser! Who knows?
"Recovering people-pleaser" sounds like a totally legit title in many aspects of life. Looks like the two of you had a fabulous lunch and dessert that you happily shared with some pigeons. Happy Blogging in July! Tamara
