Christien Alexander
Hello everybody. WOWOWOWOW… 20 years! Hard to imagine, right? Well, sunshine or rain, fresh lobster or ramen noodles, convertible or hooptie … at the end of the day, life has been real good for the last 20.
For me, the late 80’s to 1990’s brought…. Roanoke VA, Delta Sigma Theta Inc., BA in Psychology-UCO, Salvation, EdS in School Psychology-U of Kansas, Wichita KS, Dallas TX, great friendships, great church home – OCBF, great life lessons. The millennium brought… a career change to interior design, marriage, divorce, pain, Austin TX, redemption, renewed self confidence, and contentment with God’s plan for my life. Today… I am joyful, still learning, loving myself, nurturing my gift with my interior design company, relearning French (Mme James would be so disappointed), working smart, serving others, great church home - GMZ, cool friendships. Oh yeah, on most days, I still look like I’m about 25 (smiles), but my metabolism is definitely like I’m 37 (lol).
Truly looking forward to reconnecting with each of you at the 20 year reunion. Until then, be blessed.
