I thoroughly enjoyed the talk, it was very interesting. Thank you Christine.
Fascinating! Thanks, Christine. I found this link which I think is to your company for those who are curious and want to explore more. https://www.jamaicanblackcastoroil.com
Loved listening to this!
Gary and Christine I know that you are always on the look out for interesting “Fibre Talk” people – – – I have just started doing some volunteer work for the San Francisco School of Needlework and Design – great organization, lots of “Fibre Stuff” going on and I think they would make for a really interesting podcast – http://www.sfsnad.org 415-604-1104. Lucy Barter is one of the founders – Royal School of Needlework trained but now living permanently in the USA.
Christine,
I had started to listen to this during a busy time … and then stopped because I wanted to focus on your story. Just took the time to listen carefully… thank you so much for sharing the components of your job and life and describing the outreach and impact of all the things ‘shared’. It is truly a blessing to be in a position to help people … and the little things do matter.
By the way, your picture with the tattoo made me really smile – your voice and soft spoken demeanor had created a different image, the only thing that shows that side of you is your quirky, pragmatic comments sometimes and the way you hold your own in some of the discussions…. keep going !
I am catching up on listening to all your great podcast episodes, so am late to the party. However, I want to comment that this episode is fantastic. I loved hearing about Christine’s job, experiences, and her and her employer company’s good works. Thanks for including this.
