A Haven of Hospitality
Serene, incurably optimistic,… spiritual… Her life is harmonious because she manages the delicate balance of living in the world, yet remaining apart from it. She lives each day…with a deep appreciation of the past, an enriched sense of the present, and a joyous anticipation of the future. Her home is a haven of hospitality, reflecting in its beauty, order, comfort and good taste her authentic style. She is a compassion-ate confidante and true friend, who empathizes, encourages & inspires.—Author Sarah Ban Breathnach

“She reeks of bread, comfort & creativity!”
An artist in my everyday and in so many palatable ways, where do I begin?
I am HospiTalent Marie B. ("Mariby") Corpening, originally from Newark, NJ; though, I've been in the DMV Metro area for more than 40 years, mostly in National Harbor/Fort Washington, MD; so, you know, here is where I found me and chose to settle in All My Artistry—In Reverence To Our Heritage!
Owner & Founder of Private Stay By MadlyGiving—A 5-Star Boutique Bed & Breakfast At National Harbor, know that I have very thoughtfully orchestrated a symphony of a life-time of my gifted talents, creativity, expertise and ancestry to almost intuitively design, not only Private Stay accommodations, but also a Brunch / Dinner Party Dining Experience Beyond Mere Pleasure, in a more meaningful way of MadlyGiving.

The Sum…Of Me, You Just Might Never See!
In All My Lives
In all of my lives, I have been creative at something, never just one thing, but so many things simultaneously—writing witty-poetic stories, painting colorfully-brilliant flowers, sewing my over-flowing dresses, pampering my overnight guests, baking my now infamous Buttermilk Slap Biscuits, preparing that meal that makes you go, Ooooooom, hosting my purpose-filled private dining experiences, no mention, resurrecting my ancestry in tribute to Our Illustrious Queendom and, well, the gifts go on! So, you see, with me, it's difficult to settle on any one and you're done thing—realistically. Oh, so thankfully, God helped me!
An artist in my everyday, just imagine, oh, my life is quite the abounding dance! From almost everyone, I hear the resounding chants, Oh, Mariby, you could make this! Wow, Mariby, you should sell that! No, Mariby you've got to tell...that story!
With such overwhelming choices, these rallying voices have been echoing in my soul, Girl, you're never too old! At a golden 63, finally I'm reveling in my creativity. Now that I am free, effectively me, I feel obligated to share, that dreams really due, come true; when you get here, you’ll see!
“It Really Just Depends On Whatever Feels Good To My Soul!”
As Songstress India Arie so soulfully puts it—and as long as it feels good to me! Oh, the novelty, such artistry, My God, even a little photography, the sum of me you just might never see!
It all consumes me—the enticement, so much more enlightenment, oh, just the lore, ohmagawd, the excitement of so, so, so much craft and creativity. Sometimes, it can be hard for me to even ... sleep; three o'clock in the morning, I am up writing my MadlyLiving Chronicles!
C'mon, Marb, really? You get it! It's all in my mind! I mean, just all the times!
It's madness, really, and why I call it, MadlyLiving, inherently, MadlyGiving! Oh, the many splendid things I do…for you, in humble exchange for your purpose-filled donations to The MadlyGiving Campaign.
I so look forward to serving you! It is what I am meant to do!—HospiTalent Mariby Corpening
