A piece I wrote about the connection I experience through hospitality and my work in hospice was recently published on (in)courage, an online faith-based community created for connection, equipping, and encouragement. You can read my guest post here:  "THE HOSPITALITY OF BEING PRESENT"

STUBBORN STAINS & SWEET MEMORIES

I felt frantic when I looked in the mirror and saw a small blob of beige make-up on the front of my black dress.  No amount of dabbing or wiping would remove the smudge left by a spilled drop of liquid concealer.  In a desperate attempt to clean my dress I pulled it over my … Continue reading STUBBORN STAINS & SWEET MEMORIES

TASTE & SEE

It's Saturday morning.  I finally feel the space to simply be rather than do.  And so I make homemade bread. There is something about the slow place of bread making that is rejuvenating to my soul.  As I smell the earthy yeast; knead and shape the soft, silky dough; and create something beautiful out of … Continue reading TASTE & SEE

Welcome!

                                                                Beginning my career at midlife as a hospice Bereavement Coordinator was not a new path. It is the continuation of the hospitality I’ve practiced for nearly three decades. Sharing life around my table is valuable experience for learning how to be present with people gathered around a loved one’s bedside.

I’m so glad that you’re here.
