In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother’s Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Margaret Agard.

Margaret Agard is an award-winning writer whose latest book ‘In His Footsteps: How I Gave My Todo List to God and Got More Done, More Sleep and Less Stress’ is an 18-month slice of the life of a woman committed to giving her life to God by giving today to God: or how to be happy driving in rush hour traffic, dealing with frauds and facing a mountain of manure.

Margaret lives on four forested acres on a lake in Florida – viewing lake not swimming lake because, well, alligators. She and her husband Parker have 15 children between them, 38 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. The birthday cards alone take up a lot of time.

Parker loves being outside even on rainy days. He puts on a wide-brimmed hat and walks around in the rain looking like a walking waterfall. Margaret, on the other hand, likes curling up in a comfy chair looking out the window at the results of Parker’s work.

Margaret writes from a small office with a view of oaks draped in Spanish moss, wildflowers and the lake that may or may not have alligators in it.  Describing herself as “basically a hermit”, Margaret loves the social side of the Internet and contributes extensively to her local community.
