When author Christine Davis was growing up in New York City she had two great passions – spending her days with her animals, and spending her nights gazing at the starry skies, pondering the distant heavens. Her mother was certain she would either become a veterinarian or an astronomer.
But life has a funny way of taking people down unexpected roads, and in 1977 she wound up leaving the east coast and moved to Portland, Oregon. Her career path led her into the business world, which satisfied the left side of her brain but kept the right, creative side quiet, longing for expression. She just couldn’t stop thinking about those stars!
In 1995, she left the corporate workplace to pursue her true heart’s calling…her soul work. She was looking for a way to celebrate the creatures with whom we share this planet, and to thank them for the many gifts they had brought her.
It was during this time that the author’s beloved dog, Martha, became very ill, and Ms. Davis had to unexpectedly continue on her journey without the presence of her four-legged best friend. She grieved the loss deeply, not knowing everything was part of a much larger plan. She didn’t know she would start a publishing company and give birth to five books that celebrate our magical companion animals…books overflowing with paintings of starry skies. She had stumbled onto the future she had imagined as a child!
Ms. Davis says she has learned much from her passions. The animals have taught her about letting go, for they so often leave long before we are ready to say goodbye. The heavens have inspired her to never give up on her dreams, for on those days when the dream seems a little far away she remembers it is only resting up in the stars, waiting for her to call it back home.
Christine Davis lives in Portland, Oregon with her kitties Molly and Star.
