Hello, my name is Christie Hawkes. I am a certified health coach, passionate about all things wellness: physical, mental, and spiritual.
My story
I am a recovering goal-setting, list-making, over-planning addict. One morning I woke up and realized for the first time in my life, I didn’t know what was next. The road before me was not clearly defined. It’s as if my life GPS had just announced, “You have reached your destination; the route guidance is now finished.”
Only the journey, of course, wasn’t complete.
This blog is me publicly sorting it out, answering the question “What now?”. Thank you for visiting. I hope you’ll join me on this journey. I’ll be sharing my thoughts and experiences, my successes and epic fails. I’d be honored if you’d share yours with me.
Who knows, we might make some great discoveries along the way, or maybe we’ll just enjoy some laughs. Either way, I’m looking forward to the trip.
My mission
Live, laugh, learn, and love!
Just the facts, ma’am
I live in Utah with my husband Larry and our dog, Buddy. We have a crazy, beautiful blended family of four children, 10 grandchildren, and one great grandchild! I recently retired after a 24-year career with a nonprofit health insurance company and am now a certified health coach. I am a published author and have written my first (yet-to-be-published) novel. I have a bachelor of arts in communication from the University of Utah and a master of professional communication from Westminster College, as well as a mindbodygreen Health and Wellness Coach certification. In addition to my love for writing and fitness, I am passionate about all things related to wellness: physical, mental, and spiritual.
