Hi I’m Meg.

I want to help you run your race well, to seek beauty in all things, and weave together your responsibilities, passions, experiences & priorities, with a touch of magic, so that you can be about the “MATTERING THINGS”.

As Seen in:

A tiny bit of backstory:

I first began blogging back in 2015 as an “expression of art”, a way to be creative…

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!

What Are The “Mattering Things”?

so glad you asked!

The mattering things, put plainly, are the things that matter most in life.

It’s setting our eyes on our last day, not just today

It’s prioritizing people over production and considering others before self.

It’s about genuine authenticity, fearless vulnerability and keeping a sense of wonder.

It’s being faithful with the little, forgiving the wrong, and purposefully pressing into the hard. 

It’s stewarding well what’s been entrusted, willfully rejecting apathy and choosing to live with passion and purpose.

It’s resting in the unwavering love of God, radical persistence in our love of others, and holding loosely everything else.

It’s stopping to notice the sunsets, pausing to smell the flowers, seeking beauty in all things…and adding twinkle lights wherever possible.

It’s finding humor in the unexpected, unwavering trust within the unknowns, and steadfast gratitude in garden AND in desert seasons.

It’s purposeful healing from the past, persistent peace with the present, and unshakable hope for the not-yet.

Most of all…”the mattering things” is knowing Jesus & inviting Him into every part of our lives as He transforms us more and more into his image. So, let’s not tarry, let’s not hesitate–let’s be intentional with this one life we’ve been gifted.

I create products, resources and encouragement to help you thrive in your actual real-life and in keeping first things first.
