Christine Royse Niles — Changing the world one word at a time

On The Road Again

Literally, and in the blog sense.

Today, I’m visiting the Adventures in Missions offices in Gainesville, Georgia to finally meet the amazing marketing team that I serve with, and I’m also virtually visiting while my friend Jim Woods of UnknownJim.com anticipates the arrival of his new baby boy!

My post for Jim is called One Dreamer’s Map to the Promised Land:

Once upon a time, Christine lived a nice normal busy life. Great career, family, two cars and a house. Living the dream.

Except the dream was a nightmare. Not the “chased by monsters” kind, but the “constant dread of the insignificant” kind.

Rodent of your choice running for the ridiculous disappearing reward of choice.

If you’re visiting from Jim’s site, welcome!  I write mainly about adoption/orphancare issues and making a difference in the world.  For a little Friday fun, I sometimes share snippets of a fiction project I’m working on, too.

You can learn more about our adoption story here, or see a few other samples of my writing here.

I am a writer, a project manager, and a corporate refugee with a heart for orphans around the world. My two daughters were adopted from Ukraine at ages 12 and 14. I post about writing, chasing dreams, and making a difference in the world, and sometimes I share fun snippets of fiction in-progress.
