Tammy Maltby - It's a Good Life - Start Simply but Simply Start!

Found this on Facebook about It's A Good Life

For some reason the kitchen tends to be the congregating spot when people come over for dinner. They just love to sit and watch as the food is thrown together. It’s a warm place. Tammy Maltby and Michelle Borquez believe that women especially, hunger to live a more connected life with their families, and their friends. The yearning to share ourselves and our homes with others is part of our womanly nature. But several factors tend to hold women back in today’s culture. Many of us have never learned the skills of managing a household and welcoming others into it. We compare ourselves to others and worry that our homes and our cooking skills aren’t up to snuff. We’re so busy caring for our jobs and our families that we just can’t summon the time or energy to “entertain.” And the never-ending avalanche of cookbooks, how-to magazines, and “beautiful living” television shows often discourages while it inspires—whetting our desire to do better, but also convincing us that what we have to offer will never be good enough. What many of us need is to simply be set free. Tammy and Michelle believe for some it will take a miracle —the miracle of a changed perspective. And that’s what they offer to women who are hungry to lead more beautiful lives and to share those lives with others . . . but who may feel inadequate, unprepared, or just too busy to do so.

START SIMPLY, but SIMPLY START!!!!! This is our most important message to women. We are not just about information, but transformation!

It’s not “entertaining” . . . but providing a comfortable setting for people to enjoy and learn from one another.

Not showing off . . . but sharing life, embracing hospitality as a message you give other people about their value.

Not kitchen theatrics . . . but kitchen-based connection, using food as a catalyst for community.

Not dinner parties and open houses . . . but mealtime communion and openhearted living.

Not house beautiful . . . but rejoicing in the beauty of shared meals and fellowship in a welcoming setting.

Not doing something unusual for “company,” but creating an everyday lifestyle that provides welcome to family, friends, strangers . . . and yourself.
