The Blossoming Lotus has been a pillar in our community and a beacon of light for sustainability and healthy food alternatives.\u00a0We have a sense of peace knowing we had such an impact on our Kaua&#8217;i community. We thank you for all your support over the years in so many ways.\u00a0 We realize we have provided a safe haven, a form of sanctuary, here at our Restaurant &amp; Juice Bar.\u00a0 We have found much joy in supporting our local farmers, musicians, artists and residents over the years. And we are deeply grateful for the love and support [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/www.veganfusion.com\/newsletter\/graphics\/bl01.jpg"}
