New Year, New Followers

Although I'm a week late, I just wanted to take a minute at the beginning of 2010 to welcome those who have recently discovered "Digging Through the Dirt."

Whether through Twitter, Facebook, Google searches or elsewhere, I'm glad you found this blog. And whether you're a meat-eater, vegetarian or vegan, I hope you find it informing and enlightening. I also hope it inspires you to make changes to your life to help yourself, your fellow animals and the Earth.

It's not always easy to break old habits, particularly ones that have been ingrained in us since we were children. But when we know the truth about animal suffering, it's easier to make decisions that reflect our values.

I will continue "digging through the dirt" to inform both my readers and myself about issues affecting animals, our health and the planet so that we may all continue to grow.

To both my new readers and my faithful followers, have a very happy New Year!
