To be hospitable is to love people well. It is a kind note to your friend when you know she is going through a difficult time. It is an invitation to dinner extended to the new family in the neighborhood. It is the smell of warm banana bread or chicken noodle soup. The simple act of looking for ways to bring an effervescent happiness to others is hospitality.

This book is designed to spark ideas of kindness so that your life becomes richer and more meaningful as you really see people. If you look, you will find ideas for hospitality every-where! Jennifer Boyd has spent decades falling in love with hospitality, and this book is an expression of the joy she has found on the journey. Fall in love with hospitality, one idea at a time!
