"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.  Second, it is violently opposed. 
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."  --  Arthur Schopenhauer

Christine has written numerous articles for state, national and international publications (newspapers, magazines, online publications). Her articles have covered a wide range of topics: the arts, technology, business, politics, health, environment, human spirituality, and profile interviews with high achievers, and she has appeared as a guest on numerous national & international radio shows due to her writing. She is also author of an internationally popular book, A Mountain In The Wind - An Exploration of the Spirituality of John Denver.

In addition to freelance magazine articles (as well as articles for Colorado newspapers) Christine has produced other written works including, for example, a complete tourist guide written for Europeans visiting Colorado, and was commissioned to interview and write articles about artists throughout Colorado for national magazines, and hired to contribute 10 stories to a book with stories factually based on her selection and interviews with ten entrepreneurs nationwide who made a major career change in mid-life.

Note: any use of the term "libertarian" in my articles or radio commentaries is unrelated to the "Libertarian Party" (LP).  I advise all individuals who wish to join with others for the cause of advancing liberty in this nation NOT to join the LP.  In my opinion, the party which uses the word "libertarian" is libertarian in name only and is a waste of time, work and money for those who are truly devoted to achieving liberty in our nation.

It is my observation that true libertarians have done far more to advance libertarianism and thereby help achieve greater liberty in America through their political activism, educational outreach, and organizations than the Libertarian Party has ever done. Thus, when I use the word "libertarian" in my writing, I am referring to those, as myself, who love liberty; who believe in the non-initiation of force; who believe in individual liberty with personal responsibility meaning people should be able to live their life as they choose as long as they harm no other; who believe in freedom (rejecting the control of economic and social affairs by the state) and who will not compromise those principles and values.
