I have just read all the postings and marvel at your zealous passion for this fantastic industry! I only wish that when we find that special place we too, as inn-keepers, can keep the passion. I applaud all your thoughts. Thanks so much for blazing the trail. Linda

Heide,
That was well said. What a good reminder to really savor what we have and where we are privileged to live.. and not just focus on how draining it sometimes all is. I know that I need to make more of an effort to find ways to regenerate daily in this very busy time of year!

Comment on Importance of having values; what leads you forward… by Dan McDevitt

Thank you, Heide

I think you are expressing so well what many innkeepers feel. Being innkeepers is special, even when fixing breakfast at 5:30 am. Serving people, and enjoying being of service, is a great way to balance living and making a living. Thank you for an inspiring and encouraging article.

Since we have not yet even broken ground on our B & B, we can tell you why we THINK we are going to become innkeepers and it is because we want to retire from our careers but not quit working, we want to live in a particular place, and we want to build a home together and work together. Besides that, we love to entertain and make people feel special. People have said we are good at that! I hope we can accomplish all of our goals. I have no clue if people will come back because of a particular recipe, but I hope they come back because they had a great time and know we will be the “constant” at the inn making them feel like they had a true get away!

Heide
You’ve beautifully expressed the reasons why we work seeminly 24 hours/7 days a week and almost 365 days a year to capture the “wow” when a guest enters and affirms why he choice a small intimate property,

Thanks for reminding me why I left my corporate job in warm South Florida for the beauty of Southwest Virginia (and lots of snow right now)!

Heide, you are so right. It’s that lighting of “one little candle” that makes a difference … for your family, for your friends, and for yourself.

Celebrations to all and to all a good night.

Comment on A Couple’s Dream of owning an Inn? by JoAnn

Nicely written, Heide. Your thoughts about the industry and how successful innkeepers change to meet those challenges. Yes, Bev and Rick are great examples and role models for that ever-fluid and ever-changing path we take.

Comment on Innkeeping to the beat of his own drum by Donna Martin

This is how I see myself as my husband also sees it. We want an adventure, we crave to become innkeepers and to bring alot of families back together. Things to do from young to even younger. We already love helping people. We want to bring the closeness between kids and parents with ideas we have had. I know it is probably nec. to have tv’s in each room, but I think we would survive and thrive without them. We are so anxious to do this, yet are going to be very patient and do it right.
