I started eating meat again after decades of being veg & am not sure what else I should be doing. Any suggestions?
Wow that is awesome. You did hit the jackpot. She is structuring it for you so you don't have to seek it yourself. Maybe that is the issue is people need structure and guidance from a central source that coordinates it.

I am lucky in that I have become good at utilizing many things under my own guidance. I teach myself with guidance I seek. I can't always trust my own guidance but I will find out from those who know about something. Nutrition, mediation, whatever.
