nine {with christina of soul aperture}
Today's interview is with the inspiring Christina of Soul Aperture. Christina invites me to pause, notice, and take a deep breath, and for this, I am so thankful. Spending time with her at her blog is truly like stopping in for tea with a friend. If her spot in this blog world isn't already a daily pause for you, I encourage you to wind your way there and stay for awhile. She will invite you to notice the simple things and drink up the goodness of your life.
Enjoy these glimpses into Christina's world...

Question 1: Who are you?
Question 2: What do you love about where you live?
Question 3: What might your perfect afternoon look like?
Question 4: If you had an hour alone in your studio/creative space, what would you do?
Question 5: Right now, what are some of your favorite things?
Question 6: What foods nourish your soul?
Question 7: When you need to simply take a breath and reground yourself, what do you do?
Question 8: How do you nurture your creative dreams?
Question 9: Does your heart have a secret wish you want to share?
Christina is a personal chef, photographer, and believer. She lives in the city of Milwaukee, with her husband, two kids, and dog Miles. She believes in...making cupcakes on Wednesdays, following butterflies, allowing life to burst through her camera lens, releasing balloons into the sky, and writing from her soul. She places memories of her Jamaican breezes along side her heart for safe keeping.
