Community around food

Do you remember when every town, city or neighborhood had a place to gather around a table. This is where people came to share life with one another. Maybe we should get back to doing this, take the time to slow down, interact face to face and see how similar we all are in this world. We need real human connection to be happy, and life is about being happy, having fun and finding joy. Lets work together to reconnect on a personal level, one person at a time.
