I help people navigate transition and change in their life.

Being available is not the same as being perfect!

Keep hospitality easy by thinking "what do I need to do to be more available?" You plan for other things - why not plan for connection!

🥰 Elevate good and you attract more good! It's a Biblical principle - think on things that are of a good report! Yes, there is reality but in all things there is a path to goodness!

This might be one of the best compliments I've ever gotten. 🥹

Because here's the thing: Hospitality isn't a performance. It's not something you turn on when guests arrive and turn off when they leave.

It's who you are. How you treat people. How you make them feel. All the time.

When your kids say "you're the same person all the time," that means authenticity won. That means they didn't grow up watching you fake it or put on a show.

They just watched you care about people. Consistently. Whether anyone was watching or not.

That's the kind of host I want to be. The kind of person I want to be.

Not perfect. Just real. All the time.

To hear your son describe you in this way makes my heart swell with pride! This is the legacy I want to leave my family! 🥰

Hearing my son, Tyler share his thoughts on what he thinks I'm known for.....

I'm not gonna lie—hearing him answer that really made me pause and reflect.

Because here's the truth: It doesn't always feel effortless. Sometimes I'm exhausted. Sometimes I wonder if anyone notices. Sometimes I question if I'm spreading myself too thin.

But what Tyler sees—what my kids see—is someone who chooses to show up fully for people. Not just the big relationships. Not just the easy ones. Every single one.

That's what I want them to remember. Not the perfect table settings or the fancy meals. The fact that people mattered. That relationships were worth the effort.

Your kids are watching how you treat people. They're learning what matters by watching what YOU prioritize.

What do you hope your kids say about you someday?

Gabriel used to think I was crazy.

Eleven years later, she gets it.

She said: "Now it's something I look forward to. There's so many unexpected things in life—that's one thing that's constant. There's a safety around that."

That's what traditions do. They're not about the china or the fancy stuff. They're about creating constants in a world that's always changing.

When everything else is chaos, you know that on Christmas Eve, there's going to be Christmas china. And gumbo. And granny's drunk nog. And 70 bowls to wash together.

That's the safety. That's the gift.

What's your constant that people can count on?

Memories shared are memories made ❤️

They don't have to be big, lavish or expensive - sometimes the best memories are the small ones - because they are repeatable!

Tyler remembered the Mickey Mouse pancakes.

Here's what gets me: It wasn't expensive. It wasn't Instagram-worthy. It was just pancakes shaped like a cartoon character.

But he remembered.

Your kids aren't keeping score of how much you spent or how Pinterest-perfect everything looked. They're remembering that you showed up. That you made them feel special. That you did it year after year.

What simple tradition are you doing right now that your kids might remember 30 years from now?
