Hi, I’m Christina — a nature enthusiast, lifelong learner, writer, and someone who is genuinely curious about people, places, and the stories that make us who we are.

I feel most at home when I’m surrounded by nature. I love gardening, getting outside, and finding simple, natural ways to bring more intention into everyday life. I’m also passionate about essential oils and the many ways they can become part of our daily routines—not as a perfect answer to everything, but as one of the many tools we can explore along the way.

I work in childcare, and honestly, I love it. There is something incredibly special about watching children navigate this big, complicated world for the very first time. They are constantly exploring, questioning, creating, challenging ideas, shaping their environments, and leaving little pieces of themselves in the hearts of the people around them. Working alongside children has taught me a lot about curiosity, perspective, patience, and seeing the world through a different lens.

​

I love to travel—not simply to see a new place, but to experience it.

Whenever I visit somewhere new, one of my favourite things to do is wander through the community. I want to see how people live, what they value, what makes their community unique, and what stories exist beyond the typical tourist experience. There is something beautiful about slowing down enough to simply observe and appreciate another way of life.

I’m also a martial artist, with a particular love for grappling. Training has taught me plenty about resilience, humility, discipline, and being comfortable with the fact that you don't always have to know what you're doing before you begin. Sometimes you just have to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward.

​

And that's really what this blog is about.

​

Writing has always been one of the ways I make sense of the world around me.

“Keep Moving Forward” is my little corner of the internet where I can put those thoughts into words—but I hope it becomes more than that.

I want this to be a place for meaningful conversations.

A place where we can share ideas, perspectives, experiences, questions, and even the things we aren't quite sure how to put into words yet.

We live in a world that can feel incredibly divided. Sometimes it seems easier to label one another, make assumptions, or immediately shut down when someone sees something differently than we do.

​

I believe we need more intentional conversation.

More empathy.
More curiosity.
More listening.
More understanding.

More willingness to say, “I don't see it the same way you do, but I'm interested in understanding why.”

And here's the thing:

You don't have to agree with me.

​

Really.

​

If you read something here and see the world completely differently, that's okay. In fact, I welcome it—as long as we can approach those differences with respect and curiosity.

There are so many ways to experience this world. So many stories, perspectives, cultures, beliefs, experiences, and ideas.

​

And I think that's part of what makes being human so incredibly interesting.

So, whether you've stumbled across this blog from around the corner or somewhere across the world, I’m glad you're here.

​

Pull up a chair.
Stay curious.
Share your perspective.
Challenge my thinking.
Tell me what you think.

​

Let's have the conversations that matter.

And whatever life throws our way… let's keep moving forward.
