Get VegUcated at the Florida School of Holistic Living

In case I haven't mentioned it before, my friend Gretchen from What a Healthy Family Eats is the one who convinced me to give a plant-based diet a try - no nagging, just subtle and consistent pieces of information that (eventually) opened my eyes to a healthier choice.

These days, she is reaching a broader audience by teaching "VedUcation" classes at the Florida School of Holistic Living. Her next class will be on Wednesday, April 6th from 7:00 - 8:30PM and will focus on the topic of Heart Health. Here are the details from their website:
