WHAT MATTERS
What matters is your heart! Thanks for following yours here!
I invite you to join me in proving that ANYTHING is possible & that we ALL have stories to share!
WHAT MATTERS is the umbrella for my philanthropic initiatives which focus on Community, Fundraising, Outreach & Wellness (and are funded primarily by my real estate business in Virginia).
My passion is sharing stories that inspire people to remember that a heart-led life is what matters. I spread awareness, make connections, collaborate and provide financial support to a wide range of local and global projects. Learn more by clicking on a project area.

About the WHAT MATTERS & SPACE Collaboration
After more than 30 years of being out of touch, Beth was recently reunited with her God-Sister, Liz Gibbs. After less than one minute of chatting, they both realized they were also “Soul- Sisters.” It seems they have spent their entire lives preparing for the time they would reconnect and help each other make more of an impact with their similarly aligned passion projects.
About SPACE
SPACE is a world-wide commUNITY that connects you to what matters.
“What matters in life is not what we buy, but what we build; not what we have, but what we share with the world; not our capability, but our character; and not our success, but our significance. Live a life that makes you proud – one that matters and makes a difference. Live a life filled with passion and love.”
