Kassandra: I too have wrestled with hospitality because of American cultural messages around being the hostest with the mostest. Priya Parker, author of the Art of Gathering, has been such a good counterweight. Her material is great-check it out if you haven’t already.

This is very freeing and encouraging for me. I have a love/hate relationship with the “spiritual gift” of hospitality but applying your definition to this word allows me to see the value. It is feels like beautiful work to create/hold space for support, lament, rejoicing, spiritual connection!

I love that you’ve had those three values articulated for so long! I also love that Do your best is one of your values and how it is a self-compassionate version of grit! I also can relate from having a hard time saying no and am a recovering people pleaser.

Your definition of hospitality as holding space for support, lament, rejoicing, and spiritual connection is really powerful and has me examining how I view those areas of my life as well. I also really resonated with your desire for curiosity and delight, two values that strongly impact the way we show up for others.
