Christine is one of the most vibrant and full of life people you will ever meet. She is always kind, always complimentary, and so loving. She works with elementary students, and is always serving others. I do want you to know realize the goodness of this woman, but also this family. I have had the honor to feature both her husband Roger, and one of her sons Sam.  I hope you’ll take a moment to read about all three of these incredible people. Be edified that they are all here, working together, to impact and change the world for the better. 

Do you believe people are innately good?
I truly believe that people initially have a good heart. I have learned never to second guess people until I get to know them. Some of the most interesting people I have met may seem questionable at first, but have amazing goodness and compassion.

How have you found joy in the journey of life?
Gratitude

What do you believe it takes to truly love one another?
Whenever you unselfishly serve another person, I feel there is a bond of love that can be so empowering in a relationship.

Where do you find inspiration?
My inspiration comes from quiet moments when we are enjoying the great outdoors. I’m always in great awe of this beautiful world…how inspiring!

What has been your grandest adventure?
Life is an adventure everyday! The grandest is with Roger.

You are an incredibly charitable and loving person, is this something that was learned, instilled, or just a part of whom you are?

Honestly a day hardly goes by that I don’t think of my Grandparent’s Harwood. They were an amazing example of pitching in and helping others. They were so gracious with their talents and time. They didn’t have great earthly riches, but they were the wealthiest people I ever knew! They were so fun, friendly and kind.

My mother is just like them. At the age of 80 my mother still gives and cares for her family as well as her friends and the ESL children she teaches part time at the little elementary school by her condo.

So… I have a great legacy of examples, and hopefully some of it has rubbed off on me!
