Over the past two years we’ve been bombarded with a plethora of negative news everywhere we turn and it has shifted many of our minds toward a fear based, limited perspective. 

But The Truth is, Life is a beautiful Gift and when viewed through the lens of Hope, Faith and Love , it brings us abundant Joy and Peace . 

This is why I’ve decided to write a weekly Newsletter that brings Good News to our HD Community and we are calling it , HD Good News ! (super creative!) 

HD Good News will feature 4 sections that are purposed to inspire and connect our local community. 

Faith 

Stories of faith, trials, perseverance and victory have always been a source of encouragement for humanity .These  moments not only give us hope but also help us continue moving forward in all circumstances.

Friends

One of our deepest desires as a human being is to be known and loved. We all need loyal friends in good times and hard times.

We will be featuring our HD Friends who are using their gifts and talents to serve our local community. 

Food

It wouldn’t be Hidden Dinner without food . Food is a source of life and nourishment . Eating and breaking bread with others is a global connector and some might say, we can’t live without it .

Looking forward to sharing some amazing local spots, recipes and favorite dishes with all of you. 

 

Focus 

 What we focus on impacts our lives greatly. Each week we will have a focus point which will allow us to engage with one another and get to know each other.

This section of HD Good News is specifically designed for YOU to nurture a growth mindset and step out of your comfort zone. I am super excited to hear from every single one of you ! 

I hope that this newsletter brings you much joy and a connection to the Hidden Dinner Community , where strangers become friends. 

Since it’s Valentine’s Day Weekend, I wanted to share one of my favorite local spots . Our friends at Oliboli Donuts in Tustin are featuring a Valentine's Donut called The ISPAHAN, a riff on the startling combination of rose, sweet lychee and tart raspberry that is the macaron dessert, created by much celebrated French pastry chef Pierre Hermé . Stop by and enjoy it with a delicious coffee beverage; one of my favorites is the Rose Latte . 

I am looking forward to gathering at The HD Table in the very near future.

Meanwhile, do me a favor and listen to this awesome song called “Good News” by Mandisa and feel free to dance around like no one is watching or everyone is watching … 

Stay Blessed,
