The Host & The Mission

Q. Who are you? A. In The Spirit Of Giving Forward, I Am HospiTalent Mariby Corpening—An Artist In My Everyday—I write! I paint! I cook! I sew! I serve! I comfort! I give! I love! I laugh! I…live—I Am MadlyLiving, Inherently MadlyGiving!

Q. So, what exactly do you do? A. I host 5-Star Boutique B&B stays and private dining experiences offered in humble exchange for donations that support local nonprofits. I am a home cook who enjoys a good meal; so, I set out to specialize in elevating the standards of The Brunch/Dining Experience.  My aim is to make my guests’—spirit, belly and being—go, Oooooooom! 

Q. What is "A Brunch of Sundays" and "Brunch & Learns"? A. These are intimate dining experiences (3–4 hours) designed to bring people together. You can participate as a guest or sponsor a brunch to share knowledge or showcase a cause. All proceeds support the charitable endeavors of The MadlyGiving Campaign.

Q. What is “The MadlyGiving Campaign?” A. With the many splendid things I do…for you, in humble exchange for your purpose-filled contributions through donation, reservation, participation, collaboration and/or sponsorship at B&B Accommodations, A Brunch & Learn, Dinner Party, Private Dining Experience and/or Other Services—inherent fundraising—through The MadlyGiving Campaign, together, we help to support select Nonprofits in vital hands-on outreach in our local community.

Q. What are the MadlyLiving Chronicles™? A. I also write, so the MadlyLiving ChroniclesTM are mostly, uh, uh, true works of my art, based on a series (mere situations really) of non-fiction, artistically painted with some conviction, logistically tainted with a Hole's lot of suspicion, some just wrong and even offensive diction, written Holely for the purpose of mature, laugh-out-loud, adult entertainment. Perhaps a bit wild, in My State of Mid-Life ... Style, why you'll find that My Brand of Entertaining Erotica very personally relates to you, you and yeah [old man], you too!  I swear, it’s The Hole's Truth!
