I didn’t expect to get this emotional about it t

I didn’t expect to get this emotional about it to tell the truth…

I have just finished 7plus hours of handing out How To Vote cards over 2 days up here in my electorate. Both for the @animaljusticepartyqld and @queenslandgreens …

These are the two parties I feel will give us the best chance of actioning the urgent climate action that is now critically required and protecting all living beings on this precious planet from the threats they face.

The fact is the difficulties we face now will only be worse under governments who do not prioritise the measures needed to halt global heating.

If I had children I would be… well, tbh, it doesn’t matter that I don’t have kids. I already do despair for their future. It’s heartbreaking to me the lies and half truths that are told to manipulate people who don’t understand what’s at stake and what our lives will look like in 10 years if we don’t act now.

So yeah, this ain’t a cheery fluffy bed and breakfast/business promoting feel good post because under the love, the laughter, the lightness what I do here has a very serious reason for existing.

It’s always been underpinned by my ethics and personal values of justice and responsibility beyond self. It’s why I left VICPOL and started it.

I cry because I care. I’m crying as I write. Parties like the Informed Medical Options party make me sick to my core. They were actually pedaling One Nation at the same time too 😩

I have seen so much straight out of the Trump playbook this election with these far right parties. It’s horrifying. I hope with all my heart that I’m wrong that we are heading this way.

And so we all wait now. And put our shoulder back to the wheel of our personal responsibility. I’ll be ok. This stuff just gets me big time you know? Thanks for reading. I needed to “talk it out” 😞

Much love (and many trees)

Proud to be handing out these this evening…

I’ve never done this before so I was nervous the first 10 mins or so…. And there was lots of people lining up to vote, the busiest all week apparently. But @animaljusticepartyqld sent me a video to watch and I asked a Greens guy and he gave me a couple of pointers too… then I just dove in.

For the most part it was good, I gave out more than I expected and some came up to me and asked for one ❤️

One woman looked at my T-shirt and pamphlets from a distance and you could see was angry which was kinda weird. I didn’t offer her one when she got to me lest I get a biff in the mouth 😂

Other than that I was super glad I did it (and will again tomorrow) as some were clearly interested (and a few said they were vegan ❤️) and at least people saw the party and will remember even if they didn’t vote for us. It’s important to at least represent.

I was glad when it shut down to tho cos I find this kind of thing draining. I’m introverted by nature and don’t like pushing myself on others. It’s very uncomfortable for me.

Plus the informed medical opinion candidate was 🤦‍♀️and it was hard to avoid her in the relatively small area.. the smarmy false sincerity and right wing fear mongering made me wanna 🤦‍♀️
I did my best to ignore her but then she comes over, takes one of my flyers and then calls across the queue to me about vaccines causing adverse reactions in animals & too “look it up”🙄
I backed away, warily, “well I know this is your parties thing… I’m just here doing mine…” 😬

Unfortunately I bet she’ll be at Tewantin tomorrow too 🤦‍♀️🙄

Anyway kept it classy on my end and didn’t engage in any BS 😅

If you haven’t voted yet I do hope you consider giving the @animaljusticeparty and/or @australiangreens a nod up the top of the ticket cos they really are, I believe, the only parties I feel are going to take decisive action on climate, conservation, animals and welfare/social issues AND create jobs while they do it.

Other thing is can’t wait til we eat our veggie packed dinner without thinking elections 😂

It’s done!! 😃🙌😅 My first LOVE LETTER i

It’s done!! 😃🙌😅

My first LOVE LETTER is in your email inbox right NOW!

Well, if you’ve subscribed anyway… that’s all 38 of you so far 😂😂😂

I’ve been 8 years doing my vegan thing here at The Beet Retreat and I recall the excitement of having my first, actually no it was actually my second, stall at @world_vegan_day_melbourne in 2016 and getting a list of email addresses connected with a prize with the idea of a subscription list….

Needless to say I gave the prize and didn’t do the newsletter thing 😂🤷‍♀️😂🤦‍♀️

But hello 6 years later here we go lovelies!

Swipe to here why and what I’m offering as a subscriber thank you!

I’m actually EXCITED and ready to do this now.. cos there’s so much I want to share direct to those who are keen to receive it.

There’s a lot coming up for The Beet Retreat in the next 12 months…. Maybe it’s taken this 2.5 years in Noosa to find my confidence again… I mean it’s been a bumpy time since Mum passed and I did the big move north…

But boy am I loving the new website and feedback I’m getting from guests and people loving the ebook.

I have 10 unique cooking classes listed on the website now too… and I will be doing online classes in the future too.

Life is opening up again, for all of us… I dunno about you but I feel like I’m coming alive again, even though clearly I was before 😂

Things just feel EXCITING! I think I’ve used that word 3 times in this post 😂😅🤦‍♀️

OK so if you are thinking of coming soon, do subscribe and take that opportunity to grab a great discount (like it’s $99 bucks off a 3 Day Escape!) before the end of June! You have 12 months to use it so that’s pretty wicked eh! You gotta have that coupon code tho

Thanks for your love, support, encouragement…

Niche small business is all about that stuff and The Beet Retreat still exists BECAUSE of YOU! ❤️🙏❤️

Lemme know what you think of my first love letter, and what you’d love to have me share in future!

Hugs

Jan

Who wants a say in the type of world we co-create?

Who wants a say in the type of world we co-create? That’s why we vote ❤️

The how-to-vote card from your number 1 preferred party is a GUIDE, but you list YOUR preferences in order (from 1 on down) for the parties/independents YOU prefer.

It’s like a trickle down and your vote is held ultimately by the party you’ve picked that doesn’t get bumped out along the way…

So for example it’s important to me that ALL parties and independents know that I, a voter, prioritise urgent and broad climate action (not “by” 2050🤦‍♀️😩 )

AND a plethora of human and non-human animal rights issues.

So…I will be voting
@animaljusticeparty number 1. Or specifically in my case, @animaljusticepartyqld

They will not get in, obviously, but @australiangreens (my number 2!) may very well hold Balance of Power which is SUPER important to me! The greens will also know my vote came from the AJP (and that sends a message to them)

Now the Greens will be unlikely to hold a majority (sadly many still see short term comfort as more important than a future 😕) either, but my 3rd in line @australianlabor will..
I HOPE!!!!!😅

So my trickle down from AJP to Greens to Labour is sending a very clear message yeah?

Animals and planet matter!

Im not telling you how to vote.. I’m saying how it works and why voting for the @animaljusticeparty in your state isn’t a waste, not by a long shot.

Also by voting for them you give them a leg up financially to where their voices for fairness, transparency, animal rights reform (all species) can be heard and as a party continue to create legislative change I wouldn’t have dreamt possible 10 years ago ❤️🙏😍

So… I hope that helps someone still thinking and worrying. Please please do vote. And take the time to get it right, a dud vote is a violation of what we everyday people fight for….to be seen and heard.

We matter, the animals matter and the planet, our ONLY home, really really matters.

Take a breath, get down to the polling booth, don’t rush it… do it carefully and then congratulate yourself on being part of something huge!

Hellos and Goodbyes 🥲❤️🥹 It does help

Hellos and Goodbyes
🥲❤️🥹

It does help to love animals if you come to a vegan bed and breakfast 😄😍😄

We have had the occasional brave guest who is actually scared of dogs and I can tell straight away if they haven’t told me and keep Mac back… but his lil face is so 😞 and 😕 (but if it happens he gets extra special “hurt feelings” cuddles from me😅)

None of that this weekend though 😂 with major cuddles from all 4 guests keeping the four legged (AND two legged) delighted.. including me! I LOVE this so so much… every time 🥰🥰

Hope you all had an equally wonderful weekend and if you didn’t get to spend it with your mumma I hope you enjoyed it with those you share life and/or laughter with. Two legged or four❤️

Thank you for coming Jen and Tamika and Matt and @zozo_plantbased_mermaid
I had an amazing time with you all… you’re all bloody awesome ❤️❤️❤️

And happy birthday again Matt!!! Glad you loved your cake and hope you enjoyed the extra slices I sent you off with 😂😂😂

Carrot, Apple and Orange Cake for one of my guests

Carrot, Apple and Orange Cake for one of my guests birthdays…❤️🎂

Thought I only had one room booked for tonight but the Sunset Room booked last night and in came a subsequent request for “maybe a candle?”

Figured I was in the kitchen anyway prepping some roast pumpkin for the other guests cooking class so why not try a new cake recipe!

The polite reply to my suggestions of dessert was “he loves carrot cake..” so I thought well the ovens already on 😂 and whattabout this one from @gazoakley aka @avantgardevegan 😍

I’d seen it before but never made (cos hello significant amount of “Special Occassion” Sugar right 😂🎂🤣

Anyhoo so here’s the finished product ( I made the frosting this morning) ….and after my sampling 😜😜😜😜

It was a hit with all 4 guests 😅 and I may have had another slice “just to be social” 😂😂😂

Sugar crash just in time for bed methinks 😂🤣
