Do you remember Natalie "Nadia" Suleman? I didn't until I ran across a follow up news story.

 

She is the Octomom, giving birth to 8 babies from one pregnancy. Well, they just celebrated their 10th birthday and all are seemingly healthy and well adjusted.

Octomom's 8

She no dout has her hands full as her 14 children (she already had 6 older children) get bigger and older. In a recent interview she said “Yes, we are struggling, yes, we are in financial hardship.” However, she said her children are her greatest joy. Suleman, who is a vegan and raising her kids vegan, said her way of “recharging” is “by trying to lead the healthiest lifestyle as I could.”

 

No matter what you think of her, it's an incredible story.

While I believe living a healthy lifestyle should be a priority for everyone, I'm glad she's focusing on it for the sake of her health and her 14 kids.

Raising her children, with the focus on health and wellness is an important priority. ‘Mitch asked us, do we remember... Reflecting back on the once media sensation... The media handled this story one way; Kate plus Eight another; and the Kardashians another... PR remains a powerfully effective tool...

Thanks for jubilant reminder. I'm thinking there's a family management book in this that could be a classic. And for sure...a few media features. Regardless, it's a great endorsement for veganism. Though admittedly not for all, it's critical for each of us to determine the lifestyle choices that optimizes our health and well-being.

Thank you Mitch. Lovely story. Just the perfect read this morning. My oldest daughter has been vegan for many years, it is a lifestyle choice that has served her well.
