I Never Wear Shoes In the HouseI always remove my shoes before I advance into someone's house, but especially in my own home! It's a respectful thing, not to walk exterior dirt throughout the home.
I Stay In Shape and Enjoy ExerciseI swim a lot. I love swimming, and fortunately I add a little gym work with loose weights, dumbells and barbells, and some extra dance movements with music. With my vegan lifestyle I am content!
