#20 BIG BIRTHDAY REVEAL: A Milestone Birthday Inspires a Fresh Start

Milestone birthdays, even more than other birthdays, are apropo for a fresh start, a new beginning, and a time to pursue a new vision with new goals, and even to make lifestyle changes. As podcast host Christine Smith shares, she’s looking forward with faith, trust, love, hope, and joy. Her attitude is that a birthday isn‘t just a reminder of how old you are but a celebration of how far you have come and the journey that still lies ahead. She’s focusing on growing wiser, intentional, more fruitful, and very grateful.    She also sees this big 75th birthday as one to embrace moments and people that have brought her joy in the past as well as those circumstances that taught her important lessons, especially spiritual lessons, healing, and preparation for how she will continue to serve other seasoned women (especially those women over 50 or over 55). Christine’s motto is that it’s never too late to walk by the Spirit, to be the REAL YOU, and to fulfill your sacred calling. If you live aiming for that, or making progress towards that little by little, she’s confident that the rewards will bless you! She shares some of her heartwarming memories and encourages you to reflect on yours. She asks for prayers as she’s currently writing a book on joy. She includes family photos, some that are humorous: her worst hair day, and her most uplifting day ever! Christine’s cherished moments, friendships, and desire to bless those who watch, reflect her hope to continue in a faithful life, lived with purpose, love, grace, and kindred spirits.    She invites women of faith over 50 or 55 to join an upcoming 8-week FREE TO BE HOLY Workshop starting in September, discussing the book of that name by Matt Lozano, and reflecting on what a holiness lifestyle looks like and discovering more about our identity in Christ. You can expect the community experience to add to your enjoyment of the book and its topics.
