Spreading Sunshine One Smile at a Time
Hi, I’m Christina, and my mission is simple: to spread sunshine, one smile at a time.
As a soul care advocate, author, blogger and speaker, I bring a wealth of experience from education, ministry, nutrition, and corporate training. Yet, my greatest insights come from “life’s lumps and launches,” the challenges and triumphs that shape us all. Through these experiences, I share “slices of PIE” – Practical, Inspiring, and Encouraging messages that offer hope and resilience.
I hope to be remembered with these words:
“She smiled. She encouraged. She wrote. She believed.”
