🌱 Meet Jeannette

Hello and welcome — I’m Jeannette.

I’m a writer, blogger, and lifelong nature lover who believes that kindness, mindfulness, and curiosity can transform how we live.

Through my websites, videos, and online community, I share my journey toward a more compassionate, plant-based, and fulfilling life — one gentle step at a time.

My path to veganism began with a search for healing, but it soon became so much more than that. It became a way of living — one rooted in gratitude for the earth, respect for animals, and a deep desire to live in harmony with nature.

🌿 A Journey of Healing and Awareness

Years ago, I faced a serious health challenge that led me to rethink everything I knew about food and well-being. I discovered that true healing doesn’t just come from medicine — it begins with what we nourish ourselves with, how we care for our bodies, and the energy we bring to each moment.

When I embraced a raw vegan diet, I experienced a renewal of both body and spirit. What began as a desperate attempt to restore my health became a journey of awakening — one that reconnected me with the rhythms of nature and the simple joy of living mindfully.

Over time, I learned that veganism isn’t just about food; it’s about compassion, awareness, and alignment. Every choice — from the clothes we wear to the products we buy — can either harm or heal. I choose the latter.

🥑 Living the Vegan Lifestyle

LivingTheVeganLifestyle.org grew from my desire to share what I’ve learned — not as an expert, but as a fellow traveller on the path. Here, I write about plant-based recipes, cruelty-free living, vegan travel, and the emotional and spiritual growth that comes with living in harmony with your values.

I believe vegan food should be simple, colourful, and full of flavour. My recipes celebrate nature’s abundance using wholesome ingredients, organic produce, and herbs from my own garden. Whether it’s a 30-minute vegan curry or a comforting bowl of soup, each recipe is made with mindfulness and love.

Beyond food, this blog is a space for inspiration — a reminder that plant-based living is a lifestyle of kindness, not restriction. My goal is to help others discover how nourishing, joyful, and accessible veganism can be.

🪴 Close to Nature

My love for the outdoors found its home at Close-to-Nature.org. This site is a celebration of everything the natural world teaches us — from gardening and wildlife to natural healing and Feng Shui.

I’ve always believed that the closer we live to nature, the more peaceful and balanced we become. Gardening, for me, is a meditation — a way to ground myself and reconnect with the earth. In Close to Nature, I share guides, plant care tips, and reflections that help readers find beauty and calm in the natural world.

🐾 PawReiki

As an animal lover, I wanted to create a space dedicated to the healing bond we share with our pets — and that’s how PawReiki.com was born.

This website combines my love for animals with my passion for energy healing and holistic care. Paw Reiki is more than a practice; it’s a philosophy — one that honours the deep, wordless connection between humans and animals.

Through Reiki, mindfulness, and intention, we can support our pets’ well-being while deepening our understanding of their emotional world.

My dog Sadie, a constant source of love and inspiration, reminds me every day that animals teach us presence, trust, and unconditional compassion — lessons that shape everything I do.

🌍 Work From Anywhere in the World

The digital world has opened incredible opportunities for creative, heart-driven living. My site WorkFromAnywhereInTheWorld.com is where I help others explore how to build ethical, purpose-based online businesses — from blogging and freelancing to affiliate marketing.

It’s the practical side of my philosophy: showing that you can live meaningfully and sustainably. You can build income streams that align with your values, support your passions, and allow you to work from wherever life takes you — whether that’s your kitchen table, a quiet garden, or halfway across the globe.

Through this site, I share what I’ve learned about entrepreneurship, content creation, and online growth — always with integrity and community at heart.

🌸 My Philosophy

Everything I do — from writing recipes to tending my garden — is guided by the same belief: compassion is powerful, and small choices create significant change.

I believe in progress over perfection, mindfulness over haste, and kindness over convenience. Living consciously isn’t about doing everything right; it’s about doing the best we can, moment by moment, with gratitude and care.

My mission is to inspire others to live gently — to reconnect with their food, their pets, the planet, and themselves.

💚 Let’s Grow Together

If my journey resonates with you, I invite you to explore my blogs, connect through my YouTube channels, and join me on this path toward a more compassionate way of living.

Whether you come for a vegan recipe, a gardening tip, a moment of mindfulness, or guidance on building an ethical business, I hope you leave feeling encouraged, grounded, and inspired.

Together, we can create a ripple of kindness that extends far beyond our screens — into our homes, communities, and the natural world we all share.

With love and gratitude,
Jeannette Z 🌿
