From Christine....

As a wife and a mother of four with a full-time day job, I was making things happen and work my magic from 9-5. I had everything down pat until I lost my employment of 13 years during the pandemic.

The office door swung close behind me as I walked away downhearted. "What just happened?" was my thought so far. I was uncertain of the next best step and fearful of what was ahead. I don't have a clue of what  the next day or the next year may bring. Sitting in the parking lot, I realized that my future was not set in stone. My significance as person is not always measured up with  the 2-letter initials after my last name. I drove away leaving behind my name tag as a physical therapist. Since then, I found my writer's hat and started stringing words of inspiration.

I know how hard  it is to face uncertainty. I understand how it feels to be stuck. But what I do with what I have keeps me going as I clear the path for others to do the same. 

Discover what inspires you to be the person you truly are. Let me guide you as you find yours.
