Writing Life. Toasting Hope.

Hi, I’m Christina. 

I’m a corporate marketing leader by day, a blogger with a passion for storytelling, and a ONEHOPE wine lover and sales partner. Life has taken me on a journey I could have never planned—a path filled with love, loss, and new beginnings. I’m grateful you’re here to share it with me.

How did I end up here? In 2019, my world shifted dramatically. Just weeks after the birth of my son, my husband Matt was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. Eleven months later, I became a young widow and a solo parent, navigating depths of grief I never imagined. Yet, through heartbreak, I learned to rebuild my life—holding tight to the love I carry for Matt while opening my heart to the beauty of new chapters.

One of those chapters brought Paul into my life—a love I didn’t fully believe I could find again. Together, we’re writing and crafting the next chapter. My son, now an incredible “big kid,” is preparing to be a big brother to our baby girl, as I experience pregnancy again at 38. This chapter, filled with reflection, joy, and bittersweet moments, continues to remind me: it’s possible to honor the past while fully embracing the future. Every moment matters.

Sharing My Journey: A Space for Storytelling and Support

Through my blog, I open my heart about navigating grief, motherhood, personal growth, and building  my next greatest chapter after profound loss. My writing is a reflection of resilience and hope—proof that love and grief can coexist and that beauty lives in even the messiest moments. 

Whether you’re facing a major life transition, wrestling with loss, or seeking your next chapter (or you happen to be a personal family member or friend of mine), I invite you to explore this space. I share my story not only to heal but also to connect. My hope is that my words resonate with you, offering a sense of understanding and community; offering a sense of hope. 

A Toast to Life’s Celebrations with ONEHOPE

Durinig my journey of finding my own sense of purpose, I stumbled upon a company that shares in my commitment to finding purposeful connection and creating moments. As a ONEHOPE wine sales lead, I help others raise money for causes close to their heart over a glass of wine. ONEHOPE combines my love for connection and purpose by turning wine purchases into meaningful impact. From personal gatherings to online wine fundraisers to corporate gifting, every bottle of ONEHOPE supports charitable causes, making it easy to celebrate life while giving back.

Looking for a unique wine experience? Whether you’re planning a tasting party with friends, looking for a unique fundraiser for a cause you love, or seeking thoughtful gifts that make a difference, I’m here to help bring a little more joy (and wine) into your life.

Let’s Stay Connected

This space is built on authenticity, connection, and the belief that growth is always possible—even after life’s hardest moments. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. Thank you for being part of my story—and letting me be part of yours.

The best is yet to come. Cheers to what’s next!
