Come Meet Margaret!

In this episode I introduce you to Margaret, a woman whose warmth, quick wit, and simple wisdom shaped many moments of my life. Although she is no longer with us—she passed away ten years ago—her stories and the way she loved life continue to inspire me. I wanted to bring her to you through description and recollection so that her spirit can encourage and comfort others the way she did for me.

Episode highlights include personal anecdotes, everyday lessons that still ring true, and one memorable tale I call “the miraculous tea party.” I don’t try to recreate her voice verbatim; instead I paint a portrait of her character, her humor, and the small acts of kindness that defined her. If you appreciate gentle storytelling that blends domestic life with heartfelt reflection, this episode will feel like sitting at the kitchen table chatting with an old friend.

Click PLAY above to hear Margaret’s stories and the events that made that tea party unforgettable. Whether you listen while making a pot of tea, wrapping gifts, or on a quiet walk, I hope her memory leaves you smiling.
