Get to know the girl behind the blog

What’s your name?

Morgan

Where’s your hometown?

I’m from the Pittsburgh suburbs but currently live outside of Columbus, Ohio. I went to college at the University of Miami, so I hung out in Florida for a few years.   

What do you do?

I am the Marketing and Retention Manager for Child Sponsorship with New International. I help empower families in Kenya so that they can lift themselves out of extreme poverty. It’s pretty rad. If you want to learn more check out NewSponsor.org. 

In college, I studied art, architecture, sociology, and entrepreneurship, and became a certified Health Coach. They all sound rather different, but God is awesome and He opened a door at New International where I’m about to use just about everything I’ve formally learned, and a whole lot more that I’ve learned informally. 

Tell me a little about yourself

Boyfriend — Alex. He’s very funny and loves to fish. And, he cooks amazing food. He’s a real catch 😉

Books — I read a lot of non-fiction. I enjoy listening to books on the Libby app. I think every book I’m currently reading is the best book ever, so my favorite book is usually what I’m currently reading. Some books that have shaped my life are 7 by Jen Hatmaker and Garden City by John Mark Comer.

Fun Fact — I’ve seen Shrek more times than I can count, I can pretty much quote the whole movie. Everyone has that one movie they watched on repeat with their dad right? or is that just me? 

Why’d you start this blog?

Everything is connected, creation grows together–the wheat with the weeds. As I began to learn about being healthy and how food affects our bodies, I became aware of how we, in return, affect the earth. Then I saw the connections everywhere. I created this blog as a platform to share all the cool things I’ve learned and for others to share the cool things they’ve learned.
