Meg grew up expecting and experiencing healings
through the power of prayer. Over the years she has
witnessed healings of problems like severe internal pain,
Legionnaire's Disease, meningitis, jaundice, skin cancer,
lost eyesight, open sores, sprained ankles, cysts, cracked ribs, a broken collar bone, ill
pets, paralysis, and postpartum depression, along with colds, flu, and warts, just to
name a few--often instantaneously. She has also seen demonstrations of economic
turnaround, real estate issues resolved,and personal crises healed through prayer.
Meg began in the public practice of Christian Science healing in 1997
and advertised in The Christian Science Journal for many years.
A prolific writer, Meg publishes frequently in the Christian Science Sentinel. She has also
had articles in the The Christian Science Journal and has a long history of work with
www.spirituality.com, publishing over 30 original pieces for the site. See "Meg's CS
Writings" page to view links to many of these articles, as well as a full resume of her
published work.
Meg spent over a year writing a regular column, "Spiritually Significant Cinema," for
www.religionandspirituality.com, where she shared commentaries on popular
and more unknown movies, always looking for how they provide a spiritual uplift and
invigoration to public thought through the medium of film. She currently writes simpler
versions of these articles and reposts original ones at her blog.
Meg had the privilege of working for The Writings of Mary Baker Eddy in 2004 as
compiler for the book Blessings of Forgiveness: Quotations from Mary Baker Eddy.
This work involved researching all of Mrs. Eddy's previously unpublished letters and
articles to select the quotations to be used, establishing chapter sections and
organizing the quotes, and creating the title of the book.
A Houston native, Meg grew up in Champaign, Illinois, and then lived in the Detroit,
Michigan, area for two decades. She was an active member of both First Church of
Christ, Scientist, Birmingham, Michigan, and First Church of Christ, Scientist in
Plymouth, Michigan, where she served as clerk, was elected to the executive board, and
was elected to serve as First Reader for three years--the first woman to serve in that
role in that church's 100 year history.
A graduate of Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations
and a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education, Meg earned her Michigan Teaching
Certification and taught at The Japhet School in Madison Heights, Michigan, for 10
years, beginning in the preschool and ending as Language Arts teacher for the middle
school program. During that time she also directed several musical performances,
co-directed Spring Sharing productions (year-end musical reviews), and wrote one
original production, "That's Great Invention."
As a certified trainer for the national character education program CHARACTER
COUNTS!, Meg led training sessions to teach community leaders, school administrators,
and teachers how to implement the program in their organizations.
After moving from the Detroit area, her family lived in Alma, Michigan, for three years,
where she again served for three years as Reader for the local Christian Science church
and continued her work with Gratiot's county-wide CHARACTER COUNTS! program.
She relocated to the Houston area in 2005. Meg is currently a member of
Seventh Church of Christ, Scientist, Houston, and enjoys work there as a local contact
for the legislative branch of The Mother Church (Assistant Committee on Publication for
Texas) and serving as a substitute Reader and in the local Reading Room. During the
2008 football season, she also enjoyed coaching her daughter's cheerleading team, the
Cy-Fair Suberbowl Champion Keith Elementary Bears. Currently, she is enjoying working
part-time at the local Coldwater Creek Outlet store. Meg and her husband and two
daughters currently live just northwest of Houston in Cypress. They have five cats and a
dog named Max.

| About Meg |
| Hiro, our abandoned two day old kitten who saved her sister by screaming for help. "Save the Kittens, Save the World!" |
| Kimba, our little white lion and sister saved by Hiro's screams. They were two days old and we bottle fed them. |
| My daughters' cats, Tabitha and Samantha. They came from the shelter already named. Don't blame me. |
| Max, our dangerously smart pup, rescued from a shelter at a year old. He's not sure where all these cats keep coming from, but they are fun to make scatter when he comes inside. |
| Buddy Boy, aka Whiskers, the former stray who condescends to live with us. He got lost our second day in Houston and was found two miles away almost two years later. He is back living in the front yard. |
