The Morals of Diet - The First Step

Leo Tolstoy

Written in 1892, during the later years of his life, Leo Tolstoy’s The Morals of Diet reflects the profound spiritual transformation that reshaped his outlook after Anna Karenina and War and Peace. In the decades following his literary success, Tolstoy underwent a moral and religious awakening, renouncing wealth, privilege, and the comforts of aristocratic life. He sought a simpler, purer existence grounded in truth, humility, and nonviolence. This period gave rise to his moral essays — What I Believe, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, and The Morals of Diet (The First Step) — in which he strove to align daily actions with spiritual conscience. 
The First Step emerges from this search for ethical coherence. Ostensibly an essay about vegetarianism, it is in fact a meditation on the nature of moral progress and the necessity of compassion. Tolstoy argues that abstaining from the killing of animals is the first, most tangible act of moral purification — “the first step” toward a life of genuine goodness. For him, cruelty, however subtle or socially accepted, degrades the human spirit. To refrain from violence, even in small forms, is to begin transforming one’s relationship to all living beings.

Diabetes and Me - Living a...

Wendy Louise Novak, David Novak

"Children with diabetes can live full, happy, productive lives. I hope my story can stand as proof of that fact."
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age seven, Wendy Louise Novak had to create her own path in a world defined by stigma, struggle, and hope.
With little public awareness of her condition, Wendy's only role model was her fiercely independent father, who grew up in an era when diabetes meant a difficult, and often short, life. He taught her to "follow the rules" and stay self-reliant. That sense of independence carried Wendy through college to a successful career, globetrotting excitement, and a whirlwind romance with her husband, David.
Wendy built a loving family as she navigated the highs and lows of a condition that was still widely misunderstood. Despite tough times, she learned to balance following the rules with following her passions, saying, "I never wanted to be the kind of person who stayed home and worried about whether or not I could take it, and so I didn't."
Today, Wendy is the face of the Wendy Novak Diabetes Institute, which supports groundbreaking clinical services, education, and research to ensure young people with diabetes can thrive. In this honest but uplifting account of a life well lived, Wendy shares what she has learned, including practical tips for managing diabetes.
With a foreword by the author's husband, businessman, and philanthropist David Novak, Diabetes and Me shows patients and families that a diagnosis doesn't define your life.
"There are always ways to experience the joys in life, no matter what it throws at you."
