Day 13. My Ten Commandments: Print, Use, Share, Love!
Years ago when I started my blog, I came up with my own set of hospitality rules to help keep me focused and not caught up in the things that can lead women astray … like image, perfectionism, over-doing, worrying …. You know, the things that keep us from becoming a hospitable person. The photo above is of me and my sisters cooking together. We learned years ago to not stress-out over entertaining, particularly from our Mother, who led by example.
When I wrote my book, The Reluctant Entertainer, I decided to put my Ten Commandments in PDF form, for my readers to print out and use.
Why did I feel this was important? Because when I wrote this series about 4 years ago, I got email after email from women who were inspired by my list.
Many women said they printed this list out and hung it inside their kitchen cupboard, or put it on their fridge, to help remind them that hospitality is within reach.
Today I am offering this list to you, to print out and do what you need to with it.
Hang it, Share it, Use it …

Just found you through Imparting Grace. What a great idea for a blog! I’m so excited to be following you!
I love your blog, I just found it last night, not sure how, but whatever….. anyway, I don’t have gatherings that I long for because I feel that my home will be judged, and that its not good enough for guests. Its not new, its average, a bit cluttered at times, and I stress myself out trying to be perfect. I love your advice, and as I get older, turning 50 in December, I want to shed myself of those worries, and become a hostess to people I care about, because in reality, if I care about them enough to have them over, they will surely enjoy the event without judgements, right????
