“Being” isn’t easy.  There are no manuals that life comes with or no crystal balls to help provide the right answers.  My name is Christine and as a mom of four girls I can honestly say its been the best part of me and the worst part of me.  Raising 4 girls, who are all so different was both challenging and rewarding!  You want to instill confidence, empathy, bravery, compassion, work ethic, morals, values and so much more!  The one statement I found myself using quite often was something that was said to me by my Dad, “at the end of the day or beginning of each day be able to look yourself in the mirror”. Don’t get me wrong there are times that I was ashamed or wanted to shy away from my reflection…but that’s okay.  We make mistakes in life, and we learn from them! This new adventure of launching ella jay is about that…be fearlessly authentic, embrace all that is you and hold your head high and on your runway of life!  Never forget…”The World is Your Runway!”
