MEET Smiling Margaret™
Empowering Through Words
Margaret West Smith has seen a lot, which has caused her to lift up her eyes. From being raised on a farm in rural S.C. to working in the financial sector in New York as a young adult she gained much perspective. That perspective has expanded over time as she became a mother and returned to South Carolina to raise her family. To meet Margaret is to be positively impacted by her. Throughout her working career she has impacted multiple people in multiple industries including agribusiness, finance, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and motherhood.
Margaret West Smith has experienced many transitions. With her consistently sweet spirit, you would never know the amount of challenges and obstacles she has overcome. Her faith in God has anchored her through them all.
She has always had the power of creative expression. This has often been displayed through her witty and unique sayings that are filled with humor and wisdom. Her power of creative expression has been shown throughout the years in various ways such as original song lyrics, writing, sewing, event hosting, parenting, and especially her cooking. People travel from far and near to get Smiling Margaret’s Sweet Potato Pie™.
She is a pillar in her family, church, and community. She has stood the test of time. Her faith and steadfastness served as the example that would lead all of her children to establish their own personal relationship with God. She is a powerful woman who has quietly counseled many people through many things while covering them with grace, kindness, and prayer.
She has seen a lot, but she hasn’t always said a lot. That is until now. For such a time as this, God is directing Margaret to speak. All of us will benefit from listening. Her prose and poetry are profound, prophetic, poignant, and powerful. Her debut book offers encouragement, correction, inspiration, warning, and instruction gleaned from a woman who has depended on God for decades and found that He is indeed a very present help in times of trouble and times of peace. She has a right to praise the Lord!
