Community & Connection

“We Eat Together Now”

After my divorce, I hated weekends. Too quiet. One day, I invited two neighbors over for soup. Then five. Now, every Saturday, we rotate houses. No pressure, no perfection. Just connection.

We share stories, casseroles, laughter, and once, tears over a pie. We didn’t start out close—but now we feel like a little village. It reminded me: healing doesn’t always happen alone.
