Welcome to the Friendship Matters Experience!
What is "The Experience" you ask?
A great question—happy to share.
In 2005 I poured my heart into a story about true connection, then life tucked that manuscript on a shelf. In 2020, when the world paused and isolation set in, I finally had the hours to dust it off. God’s timing was impeccable.
Friendship Matters launched in February 2022, during one of our hardest seasons. Family and friends who read it didn’t just love the story—they called it a lifeline. Their excitement sparked a bigger question: what if loyalty, laughter, and unbreakable bonds could live off the page?
That urging from a friend became the Friendship Matters Experience—a movement and a vibe. It’s sisterhood in real life: joy, stories, growth, and rooms where no one leaves alone.
Planning events is my jam. Stick around—there’s more magic coming.
The Movement
The Friendship Matters Experience is a movement built on real, drama-free connection. We gather women and men to laugh, share, and build friendships that last—away from the noise of social media.
Every event is designed for engagement, healing, and joy: face-to-face conversation first, with just enough virtual flair. We celebrate unique stories, welcome difference, and practice wholehearted inclusivity.
Because genuine connection still changes everything.
The Vibe
A “vibe” is that electric buzz of good energy from a person, place, or moment—and that’s the Friendship Matters Experience. We curate lively gatherings where people laugh, connect, and make memories that last.
Those moments don’t stay in the room. They travel across social feeds, spark curiosity, and pull new friends into a community built on real connection.
