Diane,

Oh, my word, your sweet comment made my day and maybe my week and even month! Words of encouragement are my love language, and I’m so grateful for yours!

I struggle to the same extent even when someone comes over for coffee! It’s so silly, I know, but I’ve just had to realize that I can just do the best I can and trust that my heart for serving comes through. It’s always a spiritual exercise for me to get my eyes off myself and to focus more on serving!

My family and friends always argue when I tell them I’m a bad hostess. They don’t understand that it’s something I just don’t enjoy, even if I can (sorta) pull it off! I’m okay admitting that! I decided (as I do so often!) to just confess and acknowledge it, and make fun of myself. Thus, bad hostess tips are coming your way!!

I’m so grateful for you!

xoxo
Suzy

Best series ever! I’ve watched each episode in Season one at least 5 times and discover hidden biblical treasures every time. Please keep watching even if Bob doesn’t 🙂

I just love your IG, your ENB emails…I love it all. I have to say SOMETHING today because, altho’ I entertain a recurring fantasy of setting a gorgeous table and pulling off a carefully choreographed event, it’s just never going to happen. I’ve owned countless books & magazines, pinned everything about doing it all…it’s just not a strength I haven’t uncovered. I don’t have whatever it takes and I need to find peace with that. FORTUNATELY, I am blessed with two daughters who both enjoy executing amazing holiday events in their own homes. (Clearly not a genetic trait) I LOVED reading that you, too, kinda/sorta share this same angst. Just makes you more loveable-if that’s possible? I mean, I even stress when 3 friends come over to play cards and I have to figure out if my snacks and drinks “look right”/are being served nicely/cute dishes etc. Self inflicted stress, I know. ANYHOW. You’re fabulous. I can’t wait to read “Bad Hostess Tips” -Keep being YOU!!! You bring many a smile to my world. Happy Weekend.
