Summary

Sarah Harmeyer recently started something called Neighbor's Table, which really is a simple concept... it's a handcrafted table big enough to seat lots of people, brought to your home for the purpose of sharing meals with others. This was spurred on by her realizing how she didn't know her own neighbors, so she took what felt like a risk and invited them all over for dinner. I love what happened after that. Neighbor's Table has taken off to ten states now, and she has the audacious goal to be in all 50 in just a few years.

I'm a big fan of Simple Living, but I don't think it's just about getting rid of your stuff.

It's about living holistically with your life's purpose.

On The Simple Show, I talk with other people about what that looks like for them.

In this episode, I am talking to Sarah Harmeyer, who has done something ordinary that, in my

0:28.1

opinion, is totally extraordinary. I first met her at one of my book signings a few years ago,

0:33.4

and she was just magnetic. If anyone can make you feel like a million bucks, it's Sarah. She just

0:39.4

oozes encouragement. She started something called Neighbors Table, which is really a simple

concept. A handcrafted table big enough to see lots of people brought to your home for the purpose

of sharing meals with others. This was spurred on by her realizing how she didn't know her own neighbors.

is brought to you by the lovely, super helpful service plan to eat. If you love the idea of meal

planning, but hate actually doing it, then you're just like me.

1:32.3

So you might like the service that I use every single week, and it has been a game changer for how we handle dinner around these parts. Plan to eat lets you quickly import recipes from
