Welcome!
I am so glad that you are here! This blog has been my passion since I started it in 2014. In these pages I hope that you will find some inspiration – whether it be a recipe or a way to improve your well being.
Who is this site for?
- This site is for anyone who wants to include more plant-based gluten free vegan foods into their diets (or just looking for some recipe inspiration).
- Anyone who wants to consciously create a life filled with things that they are passionate about.
- Anyone who wants to heal their bodies and thrive with healing foods and natural living.
- Anyone who wants a new way of living because the old way isn’t working.
Who Am I?
My name is Willow Moon. I became a vegetarian in 1998 and a vegan a year later, which you can read about here. Many years ago, I realized that I was gluten intolerant, so all recipes on Create Mindfully are vegan and gluten free.
Creating recipes is my favorite way to spend my time. When I’m not cooking, you’ll find me practicing yoga or dancing to my favorite tunes.
You will also find me working on DIY projects. I find a sense of satisfaction in the creation process, and I love seeing the end result.
I make my own beaded jewelry, face masks, sugar scrubs, and body butter. I sculpt and paint polymer clay ornaments, paint abstract paintings when I get the urge, and take photographs of anything and everything.
In the past I have crocheted a couple of hemp purses, a scarf and a blanket. I have also tie-dyed clothes, made my own journals, cards, and paper beads. It is my goal to create more DIY posts for the blog in the future.
Not sure where to start?
If you are looking for a recipe by category, the Recipe page is a good place to start. The Home page all has the most recent posts and some featured ones.
You may also want to check out the Reader’s Favorites. They are the top posts since starting Create Mindfully in November 2014.

Pleased to meet you! I’m a vegetarian who may someday become vegan. As for now, I am allowing my soul to speak to me about what feels good in all aspects of my life: from fitness, to food and everything in between. I thank you for sharing your life in this space. Very cool blog!

Hi Willow. I stumbled upon your site today looking for a grapefruit mojito recipe and found we have a lot more in common than a cocktail. 🙂 I too am interested in food (though I am not a vegetarian or vegan), Abraham Hicks and am an educator currently open to work that calls me.
It’s a pleasure to see online sharing things that interest you and others… and me specifically. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks Holly! I love to see others following their passions! Esther (Abraham) Hicks have got me through some tough times. I always feel uplifted after listening to their videos. I now try to make listening to them part of my daily walk. My energy is raised every time!
