Shades of recovery

A place for me to record my daily struggles with anxiety and track my journey to a better self image and more balanced diet. Also a place for me to freak out over both things serious and silly. Feel free to freak out with me! Tawnie. LGBTQ supportive. anxiety. vegetarian. gluten free. game sprite.

Tonight's feast <3 remember folks - food is for eating, it doesn't always need to be beautifully plated and shot. Food photos can be so fun as you share what you've made or discovered, but don't let aesthetics take away from your connection to the food as fueling your mind and body #food #foodphotography #foodisfuel #dinner #feast #sweetpotato #avocado #vegan #vegancheesesauce #glutenfree #zuchinni #eggplant #greenbeans #beets #blackbeans #kimchi #foodforthought

It is so sad to me that there are still people perpetuating such hate, but the show of solidarity as everyone joined in and marched behind them cheering with their rainbow flags in the air was beautiful #loveislove #capitalpride #stopthehate #equality #gayrighysarehumanrights #lgbtq #ottawapride

My dinner was just kind of thrown together, but it actually turned out super yummy. Made a chickpea, rice, and veggie bowl with fresh corn, beets, and zucchini on the side. Plus candlelight for some ambiance ;) #vegan #glutenfree #localveggies #dinner #yum #food #
