Last week, I crashed a women only backyard dinner party. Thirty women were dressed and buttoned to celebrate their Season Finale of Super Soul Happy Hour/Share Classes. Party lights were strung between Ponderosa pines and simple picnic tables borrowed from the local high school. Each place setting held a Martha Stewart style full bouquet of food and wine. Elayne Prechtel envisioned this backyard soiree of Sharing our Life, Love & Food and created an enchanted Colorado summer evening for her friends.

Elayne’s mission
Sharing to inspire others in learning, loving and growing. This whole mission is all about learning to live open-handed and hearted without any agenda or expectation in return. It’s about empowering others to operate from a space of love and share life, love and food in their own lives in order to gain that sense of connection and community we all long for.
