About Me

I love to be at home. And I want other people to be here, too! My mother learned from her mother about hospitality at home. God tells us to encourage each other so this is my attempt to share some ideas about being involved with family and friends, maybe even people you hardly know. And to motivate myself to connect with others. Love each other. I am also fascinated by the practice of HYGGE in Denmark. We visited relatives for two weeks around the country and I realized the appeal and satisfaction of HYGGE. I hope to introduce others to this cozy idea. Sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of the website. Contact me if you are interested in discussing my speaking engagements including Introduction to Hygge, Hospitality, or Things I learned about my father from his letters to my mother.
