Thank you so much to everyone who entered the Vitamix 5200 Giveaway! You all have given me more than you could ever know and this holiday season, I really wanted to be able to give one of my readers something special, something I knew they could use. Vitamix was so incredibly generous to offer up one of their blenders for one of you Keepin' It Kind readers and in my opinion, because I love their blenders so much, I can't think of a better gift. Now, with no further ado... the lucky winner of the Vitamix 5200 blender is...

I've been vegan for 26 years and consider it one of the best decisions of my life (my doctor agrees). I lost 25 lbs within the first few months. Today my blood work and test results are of a man half my age!
Here's a short video to help everyone understand why so many people are making this life affirming choice and why the number of vegans has doubled in the US in less than 3 years.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKr4HZ7ukSE
