Christie is a writer, artist, aspiring photographer, creator and being of light.  As in the words of Marianne Williamson, "Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most."  Christie believes that we all have that light within us and it is her desire that by sharing her stories, through her words, she can inspire others to shine their light for all the world to see.  She believes that we all are co-creators of this universe and that creativity, the desire to create is inherent in all of us. 

"Being able to express myself through the written word is something that breathes in me.  Create or die - it is either one or the other because if I am not able to create, life flows out of me through holes of regret."

Most recently on her journey, she has studied with the Earthkeepers of Peru, the Q'ero through the Fours Winds Society, becoming a full mesa carrier. 

"Working with Alberto Villoldo and the Healing the Light Body School was life changing.  It was the culmination of my spiritual journey, helping me to break through the shell that had kept my light hidden, shedding the layers so that I could no longer deny who I was and where I came from."

She has created Illuminspire for the purpose of sharing the thoughts and experiences of her spiritual journey and in doing so, inspire others to search for their light, remember their Divinity and in doing so, bring illumination to the rest of the world.

"Let your light shine - Illuminate the world!"
