Jolinda Cary
Jolinda's lifelong quest for existential meaning has led her some amazing places. With a Masters of Divinity degree and a background in Cultural Anthropology, Jolinda optimistically believes that we all have more in common than we might think.
A self-proclaimed consumer of spirituality, she practices ahimsa, the moral imperative of nonviolence towards all living beings. Her own spirituality and nonviolent path is manifested in her commitment to a cruelty-free vegan and sweatshop-free lifestyle and her refusal to drive an SUV.
When she's not working at one of her several freelance or nonprofit day jobs, she can be found either reading the Bhagavad Gita on a mountaintop, munching vegan cookies while perusing the blogosphere, or on her usual soapbox somewhere.
