Musician Paul McCartney along with his daughter Stella McCartney honor her late mother Linda, with a vegetarian Christmas feast each year. Linda and Paul met in 1967. She converted The Beatles star to vegetarianism, which proved a problem at Christmas because there was no turkey to carve.
"The thing about becoming vegetarian is that some of the things that I saw as traditional male roles not wanting to get too sexist or genderist here such as barbecuing, and slicing the roast, went," Paul told to media. He added: "I wanted something to carve at Christmas!"
To give her husband something to do, Linda, who died of breast cancer in 1998, invented 'a macaroni cheese that she shaped and left to set.'
Now, the father-daughter duo has a vegetarian roast made from mushrooms straight from the vegetarian range of foods Linda launched in 1991. Stella said she and her father try to keep Linda's "legacy alive" each Christmas.
"She was so ahead of her time. The cool thing about her is that she would challenge someone about eating meat, but she had this very charming way of doing it, so it never became an argument," Paul said.

It is really quite simple. Whatever we put our mind on, that is what we know. We are not obliged to think negative thoughts, yet we constantly do. It is another of our human foibles. We put our mind on such matters, which are bound to make us unhappy. Even though we already know that doing this will make us suffer, we still do it.
Perhaps we should contemplate why we think in ways we know perfectly well will create unhappiness? The more clearly we see into our inner processes, the easier it will be to discard those that are not helpful, that do not lead to calm and contentment.
—Ayya Khema

If we find that we often think and speak critically of others, we should get into the habit of asking ourselves, 'Am I being fair?' And if I'm not, why am I drawn to harsh evaluations of others?' - Rabbi Joseph Telushkin

I would say that acceptance is about knowing the way things appear. It’s kind of like awareness; you need acceptance to see what is really going on. But you don’t stay there. You say, 'Okay, that’s what is going on. But what are the limits? What are the possibilities? What do I need to accept because there is not much I can do about it? And what is it I can transform? Acceptance is just the beginning. In meditation, we are not trying to stare at reality. We are developing our creative awareness so we can bring a creative response - Martine Batchelor

Because people know that they are judged largely on the basis of their appearance, many people spend far more time working on how they look than on how they behave. - Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
