This is an episode I struggled in committing to do but I knew it was important. Being set apart will always look strange to people who are used to settling. Choosing abstinence builds discipline and is designed to be intentional, nowhere near easy but worth it.

Learning to love yourself and knowing your worth going into a relationship is more valuable than a lot of people think. It takes practice, discipline, and could be disappointing to the wrong people. Having self-respect and understanding each other's boundaries are part of the growth and establishing a healthy partnership. Are you choosing your selfish desires today or God's will for your life?

We’ve all been there... it’s normal and scary. If there’s anything you can take from this episode it’s that you matter, you are valued, and your life has so much purpose. Don’t give up on yourself because God will never give up on you.

Happy International Women’s Day/Month! In a manly world, women usually get the shorter end of the stick. As a woman, I love the power and value I hold, whether society believes it or not. Women should be loved, valued, and respected the same way a man is. What do you think?

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
