A Proggy!

I am humbled and honored to report that PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has presented me with their annual Proggy Award for "Blog of the Year".

I was so shocked I started to cry like some kind of online Ms. America.

Thank you, PeTA! And thank you to everyone who visits the Vegan Lunch Box to see what's for lunch!

    I got goosebumps for you!! Like Arline said...It totally is amazing what one little ripple can do...I am amazed and excited by the number of people who comment (and I'm sure the hundreds more who visit) daily...And now that number is only going to multiply! Congratulations on your wonderful recognition, and may this path you have set yourself on bring you many more rewards in life...The best of course you are already experiencing through the caring and compassionate son you are raising, who from the sounds of it will follow in your trail-blazing path.

    A little ripple here--I'm not even vegetarian yet, much less vegan, but my husband and I are making baby steps and I visit your blog regularly for ideas. I'd say we are 80% vegetarian now. This blog was part of my motivational speech for us making positive changes in our diet (i.e. "See, honey, it doesn't have to be weird--I can even make cool lunches for the kids). Thanks for the ideas and hopefully we will be joining you one day soon in the world of the fully converted!
