Cardinal No. 3: Be at ease.
Recently hosted a get together to celebrate much-awaited nuptials. I was reminded that hosting–hospitality–is a learned art. Its definitions and machinations know no end. You can’t exhaust the learning. For some, this is met with resignation; but, for me, it sparks a world of new questions and interests.
Of the many cardinals, I have one for your attention today: be at ease. The best host is at ease with themselves; at ease with their preparation, at ease with their home, and at ease with the spinning plates that were their life that week. The guests will sense it and your flower arrangements will benefit from the freedom. Don’t forget it! A host is a soul that welcomes other souls–with or without adornment, such as fixings and flowers (that’s the easy part).
