IGNITE YOUR PASSION
Finding that fire inside of you and reigniting it wherever you are, at work, and at home is the first step in rediscovering yourself, and letting your true light shine on the world!
CHOOSE YOUR IMPACT
It’s easy to forget that your gifts are totally unique to you. Not one single person on this beautiful, crazy planet can make the same impact that you make.
LET'S START A MOVEMENT
The ceiling is an illusion. It’s not real! With the right tools, and growing support, we can start a movement, tear down the ceiling, and shine our true light together.
Why “Snorting Out Loud?” Because Margaret has an unforgettable snort when she laughs. And learning to embrace her snort-laughter rather than be embarrassed by it helps her tell the story of loving yourself for who you are.
Throughout this site and her stories, you may see the acronym “SNOL”. This is short for “Snorting Out Loud”. Margaret’s personal version of LOL. Whether you snort, chortle, cackle or giggle, we hope you will laugh along with us.
