How an Invitation is an Act of Hospitality

Dear Hard-Working Woman: Here is Some Good News!
As a recovering perfectionist, I can be hard on myself when it comes to resting in the “right” way—whatever that is. But I’m realizing that I am way harder on myself than necessary, at times.

Here’s what I ne...
