[edit] Veganism

Carolena describes herself as leading a compassionate lifestyle and has a great admiration for Quan Yin. the Goddess of Compassion whom she has her tattooed on her arm. Having been an ethical vegetarian since age 14 years old, she became an active vegan in 2006. The fcbd website now includes a link on to 'Carolena's Little Vegan World' which offers resources for a Compassionate lifestyle.

Taken From Carolena's fcbd website:

"During the summer of 2006 I opened a fortune cookie (I didn't eat it because they are made with egg, but I digress.) The fortune read, "Depart not from the path to which fate has you assigned." Huh? At 45 years of age, I want to think about retiring — did this mean that I was going to be a belly dancer for the rest of my life?! And then it hit me: all this time that I have spent gaining an audience and getting connected to people is so that I would be able to reach out and talk about Veganism and the compassionate, cruelty-free lifestyle."
