Episode 68 is going to open your eyes to the beauty that is already in front of you. You'll learn a new term, Placmaking, as a way to embrace beauty, even in the middle of mess. 
Christie Purifoy, the author of Placemaker, invites you to use the places and spaces of your life as a way of connection with God. You'll be surprised to learn that Placemaking might call you to buy all new pillows for your living room or build a flower garden that you insisted was frivolous….but it certainly never requires it. Peacemaking is a method that will bring you closer to discovering yourself and loving others by enjoying the beauty of life that God provides. 
 
My time with Christie was filled thoughts on cultivating our spaces so that they can teach us…and we can love others in that process. 
 
Friends, I invite you to grab a copy of Placemaker for yourself or as a gift for someone who enjoys the lyrical pacing of being swept away on a journey of loving and learning about the beauty around them.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
