HELP FOR PRACTICING AFFIRMATION

A significant part of what I do in practicing hospitality with a community of young adults is blessing and sending them into the next chapter of their story. Every time someone who attends our community dinners moves away - we go around the circle at our table and everyone speaks an affirmation over the member … Continue reading HELP FOR PRACTICING AFFIRMATION

PRACTICING HOSPITALITY TO MYSELF

Anyone who knows me at all knows that hospitality is my jam.  My table is where my purpose, passions, skills, resources, and the needs of my community intersect.  Hospitality has grown to be about so much more than hosting overnight travelers or having company over for dinner.  It isn't something I practice for one-time events … Continue reading PRACTICING HOSPITALITY TO MYSELF

MEET KRISTIN

"I love hospitality but really dread actual entertaining.

SHEPHERDING OUR WORK

"I am still learning how to shepherd this long work after the initial burst." This is the quote that leapt from my laptop screen yesterday, as I read a post entitled "The Ministry of Saying Goodbye (and Sticking Around)" by D.L. Mayfield.

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. This site is a place to explore how the practice of both hospitality and hospice care are teaching me how to live a meaningful life.

I’m so glad that you’re here.
