Supporting Animal-Welfare

Hey there, fellow animal advocates!

I'm Christina, the creative force behind Graceful Pause. I'm thrilled to share my passion for animals and cruelty-free living with you. Growing up surrounded by pets and nature in Indiana, I developed a deep connection with creatures of the four-legged kind. While others seemed focused on the two-legged variety, my heart gravitated toward our furry friends.

In a world that often forgets its connection to animals, I've made it my mission to raise awareness and make a difference. From my early teens, animals and nature provided solace and inspiration. And now, a mom of four wonderful children and an adorable mini-dachshund, Zoey, I continue to weave my love for animals into our daily lives.

I've been exploring the art of cruelty-free cooking through trial and error for over 10 years now. With the unwavering support of my family, I declared one day in March of 2013 that I would no longer contribute to animal suffering. Together, we've embraced a plant-based lifestyle. I've even created our own family cookbook, filled with delicious recipes that align with my values.

The best part? Our cruelty-free journey hasn't been a burden on our budget or health. In fact, our food expenses remain comparable to the typical American diet. Our pantry boasts an array of exquisite spices and ingredients from around the world.

Here's to a future filled with compassion, connection, and mouthwatering meals!

Best wishes,

Christina
