Sandy Coughlin, whom you may know from her Reluctant Entertainer blog, has written a book with the same title. Subtitled, "Every woman's guide to simple and gracious hospitality," this book eases some of my doubts. It could have been written for me, as she covers topics like Simplifying Entertaining and Overcoming the Pitfalls of Perfectionism. (That chapter includes a quote from Sandy's husband, who said, "Perfectionism is a jail cell locked from the inside, creating your own misery." How true!)
The Reluctant Entertainer
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It inspired me to think about inviting someone over and not making a big production out of it. I'm not quite there yet, but Sandy has set me on the right track.

I love the cover of that book! I may get it! I worry about hosting people a lot! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great book. I'm more than a reluctant entertainer. I always think no one will show up. :-)
