Last night I had the wonderful honor of attending my first "Supper Club". Supper club is a monthly dinner hosted by children's book author Sue Stauffacher and her husband in their beautiful farm house. The dishes are all plant based foods, most being gluten free and vegan as well. The idea of supper club is to bring a lot of food-conscious, interesting people together under the same roof to share their recipes, a glass of wine, and good conversation. I absolutely loved my first experience there last night and plan on becoming a regular attendee of Supper Club.
Not only was there a massive table filled with all kinds of unique salads, soups, desserts etc. but I was completely inspired by the people that I met. Even though I am by no means an expert on food, especially vegan or plant-based food, nor am I a great (or even good) cook, I found that it didn't matter and people were still interested in talking with me anyway.
What I took away from Supper Club, besides a very full and satisfied belly, was a handful of new friends and the motivation to write. Even if it's just for myself, to vent or to be creative, I think I need to write more often. I finally realized the reason that I don't write near as often as I intend to is because I'm afraid of what people will think of my writing. Will they think I'm a good writer? Is my life interesting enough to write about? But last night I found the clarity to accept that if for no else, writing is good for me. So, here we go.
I can't wait for next Supper Club - to fill my body with delicious, whole, satisfying food. But I also can't wait to see how God continues to work through the people I meet there, to inspire me to follow my heart.
