It's that time of year when everything feels fresh and hopeful. I've begun to emerge from my holiday fog and I'm happy to say I have packed away the last of the Christmas decorations. I have a new set of goals and a renewed sense of energy.
The cynic in me cringes at this naïve sense of hope and possibility, but I push past that voice and grab tightly to my new found positivity.
After three weeks of travel, I have returned to the world of social media; and the hope I felt seems to be slipping away. I realize that the world of thinking people is not well represented in the social media-sphere, but it's easy to lose sight of that fact.
And so...in an effort to restore what I know of humanity, I have decided it's time for another dinner. It's time to connect with others around a good meal; time to unplug, emerge from the anonymity of the Internet, and interact with real people in a most unusual way- face to face.
