Loneliness is everywhere. 

Is it because we’re more isolated? Because we’re tethered to devices, heads down and minds elsewhere? Or is it something even deeper? 

This March, we’re exploring this together and reading Mattering: The Secret to a Life of Deep Connection and Purpose by Jennifer Breheny Wallace, a groundbreaking and deeply human exploration of what it means to feel valued, and to add value. 

Through research, storytelling, and powerful real-life examples, Wallace reveals what happens when our sense of mattering erodes, and how our lives transform when it’s restored. 

Why we chose it: 

What if we slowed down enough to really see one another? What if we built relationships, friendships, or communities where people felt valued, not for what they produce, but for who they are? 

Mattering gives us both the language and the roadmap. It’s a blueprint for living and leading with intention. 

Live book conversation: 

We’ll host a live virtual conversation with Andrea Driessen on March 25th at 12:00 p.m. PDT to wrap-up our month of reading together. Andrea Driessen is the founder of the global GraceNotes movement. Gracenotes are simple, intentional notes written to another person, creating a moment where someone feels seen, remembered, and valued. A small act with a profound impact.  

If you can’t join live, the replay will be available so you can participate in your own time. 

Where to get the book: 

Order your copy of Mattering from your favorite bookseller or borrow it from your local library. It’s also available in audiobook and e-book formats. Or, purchase the book HERE.
