SERENDIPITY
My studio was open for First Friday Artwalk last Friday and it was such a beautiful Summer night filled with surprises! I was sipping on green smoothies & snacking on veggie sushi with my partner thinking that it was a rather quiet artwalk, when 2 lovely people walked in. They had been over at Rosemont Bakery (across the street from my studio) inquiring about where they might find a raw food dessert to purchase as a hostess gift. The woman at the register said to try Girl Gone Raw across the street. 
They walked in & asked about raw food desserts & we jumped all over that conversation only to find out that
Lisa is a raw vegan chef & she & her friend Hiram were invited here from Connecticut to host a raw vegan dinner & demo on Chebeague Island for a group of people the following night. My first question was “Is it open to the public?” Lisa said she would ask Marcy, the woman who planned the event, & get back to us. 
We got a call later that night from Marcy officially inviting us to the raw food event on Chebeague Island. To say that I was excited would be an understatement! Chef Lisa just returned from a 6 month stay in Coast Rica where she volunteered at a healthy living retreat center specializing in raw food (www.fincadevida.com) & her food was RAWlicious, beautiful & inspiring. We had the best time ... between the incredible island backdrop, the beautiful people we met & the gorgeous multi-course meal we were served. Pinch me! 
THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL NIGHT!
We are so grateful to have met ALL of you & to have spent such a magical evening together!
Lisa’s website is in the works, so stay tuned for www.lisasobolewski.com/
