When you love what you do, then it should come as no surprise that your work eventually evolves into a way of living. Looking back on my 30-year career in the hospitality field, I now recognize that service was not a job as much as a way of living. Hospitality is my lifestyle!
Truly admirable how you have developed such genuine interest across every dimension of this industry over three decades. And Henri Nouwen's quote sums it up beautifully.... Hospitality at its finest is exactly that: creating a space where a stranger becomes a friend. Thank you for this heartfelt reflection.
Your words are received with deep gratitude. To remain curious, attentive, and open across the years is a privilege this profession continually renews, and it is made all the more meaningful when recognised with such generosity.
Henri Nouwen captures, with rare clarity, the essence of what we strive toward, a generosity of spirit that invites connection without condition.
Thank you for reading so thoughtfully, and for seeing the intention within the work.
