By turns challenging, encouraging, poetic, and practical - START WITH HELLO is a voice we need in our world.
If you’ve ever felt a tug to get more connected to the people around you, but don’t know where to start: this is the book for you.
If you’ve internalized messages from a churchy space that “hospitality” has to look or sound a certain way for it to “count” or for it to be virtuous: this is the book for you.
If you know there’s more you could do to bridge the racial, economic, and experiential divides that currently separate you from your neighbors, but you aren’t sure how to take any of that on: this is the book for you.
Shannan is relatable and friendly, honest and pragmatic. This isn’t a list of fussy or showy steps to curate a picture-perfect, social-media-darling, award-winning arrangement. It is more like a thought- and reflection-provoking conversation to help you make small changes or take small actions that will make a difference in how you cultivate relationships in your real, lived neighborhood.

New definition for hospitality: “Ask for what you need. Offer what you have.”
I love everything Shannan writes, and she’s my favorite follow on Instagram. I was thrilled to receive an ARC and be able to read and review this book. It’s a beautiful and so practical guide to living lives of giving, receiving, loving and living as neighbors, whether you live in the city, country, or suburbs or if you’re an introvert or extrovert. This book really is for everyone. She graciously speaks truth on so many topics that are hard to talk about and breaks things down into digestible morsels, but in the most gorgeous way. I love her real life stories, and the ways she is open about her own failures and areas of growth. She is a poet and a prophet and I wish she was my neighbor. Her honesty inspires and encourages me so much. I want everyone to read this book, and truly, I think everyone could learn something from this book. It’s not preachy and it’s not churchy. It’s conversational and feels like sitting down with a mug of tea on the front porch with a dear friend. This book really is for everyone. Here’s some of my favorite quotes from the book: “Ask for what you need. Offer what you have.”“We don’t pursue connection because we know it will be easy. We pursue connection because we believe it multiplies our possibilities for wholeness.”
