Meet Margaret

Welcome! I am so glad that you have stopped by to my sacred online space, The Versatile Girl. I began this blog in 2014 while I was in college. What started as one of those trendy fashion blogs turned into something I could not have imagined—an online space filled with my ponderings, wanderings, and thoughts on living a life of faith, God, books, and being me.

You will find an assortment of things here with some major time gaps in between. At one point, insecure and lost, I almost scrapped The Versatile Girl for something that seemed more mature until I came to my senses and realized that this space holds something so dear to me, my story. If I zoom out and look at The Versatile Girl I find bits and pieces of my heart scattered across this online domain and I can trace my fingers upon the ways God has woven together my story. Living a life of faith is one filled with twists and turns, ups and down and to be honest, I think it is about time I just give into the fact that I am never going to know what to expect next.I am an ordained Minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church USA to the validated ministry of chaplaincy.

I have two masters, a Master of Letters in Modern History from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and a Masters of Divinity from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. I am married to a wonderful man, Will, and we live in the Charleston area.

Pull up a chair, grab a cup of tea and a cookie and stay a while. For all are truly welcome here.

All my love, Margaret
