Falling in Self Love: Day 224 LOVEluck Dinner

Tonight there were 8 guests at my dinner table.  We ate well, laughed and had a great time together!!   I am now calling these gatherings LOVElucks b/c people don't usually bring already prepared foods. They are bringing an ingredient that I will use to cook something on the menu of another week.  One friend is bringing a culinary herb plant each week.  Once the weather warms and the garden is up, the herbs will be a wonderful perpetual gift!  Another friend brought a candle (I LOVE white unscented candles)!

This project began as my selection for the Aliveness Invitation that I posed to my laughter yoga students at SLCC.  If you want to read more about this 15 week project and/or join us... click here ...

Anyhoo, this new LOVEluck dinner tradition is warming souls as well as bellies. For that, I am thankful!
