Are you considering marriage, already married, or perhaps navigating parenthood? Here's some invaluable advice.
Twenty-six years ago, at the onset of my marriage with Danielle, we made a pact to eliminate THREE WORDS from our vocabulary. These words were not just discouraged but deemed detrimental as we made goals about our relationships and family culture. They were not only discouraged; they were considered a curse word in our home and continue to be so today!

So, what are these three words?
• DIVORCE: We banished discussions of separation or incompatibility, fostering a commitment to resolve issues together.
• DEPRESSED: We opted for proactive language to address feelings of sadness or despair, emphasizing communication and seeking support.
• "CAN'T": This word, implying limitation, was replaced with empowering alternatives like "won't," "I'm not interested," or "I don't know how yet."
While we strictly adhered to the first two, occasional slips with "can't" prompted swift reminders from each other, reinforcing our language discipline with a touch of humor.
What's the significance?
Words are not just words; they hold power to shape our emotions and actions. Our mantra became clear: "WORDS trigger EMOTIONS, which trigger ACTIONS."
Here's some advice: Consider the words you choose, for they shape your reality. Instead of "can't," explore phrases like "won't" or "I'm learning how to."
Whenever you utter "can't," you limit your potential and hinder progress. By reframing your language, you open doors to possibility and growth.
Remember, don't speak it if you don't want it to become your reality.
Believe in the power of your words. Your words WILL sculpt your destiny positively or negatively.

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.
