My First Book Is on the Way
A Cup of Authenticitea
In a fast-paced world, A Cup of Authenticitea offers a much-needed reminder to pause and savor the everyday moments.
A blend of real experiences and imaginative storytelling, each chapter is set inside a cozy café where tea becomes more than a drink; it symbolizes presence, ritual, and reflection. These quiet turning points, moments of uncertainty, growth, and self-discovery, are paired with Authenticitea Tasting Notes, creative journal prompts that invite you to explore your own experiences through a renewed lens.
For readers who love personal growth, quiet reflection, and heartfelt stories, this book is a gentle, grounding companion for life's in-between moments.
Whether you're navigating change, seeking clarity, or simply craving a moment of stillness, A Cup of Authenticitea invites you to reflect and discover what's most important, mid-sip.
Introducing Bookmarked Thoughts
Your all-in-one reflection companion
If you’ve ever finished a book and found yourself still holding onto a line, a feeling, or a question, you’re not alone. I love to read, but I realized I wasn’t always taking time to reflect on what truly stayed with me. I wanted more than a summary. I wanted connection between the story and my own life.
When I couldn’t find that space, I created one.
Bookmarked Thoughts invites you to pause, reflect, and explore what a story stirred in you, not just what happened on the page, but what lingered after.
Hi, I’m Christina Owens
A seeker of life’s many discoveries with Oklahoma in my heart and Virginia beneath my feet, I carry both places as home. One grounding my beginnings, the other shaping my becoming.
I live a multi-passionate life, with a 20+ year career in education while also earning credentials in real estate, group fitness, Human Design, and coaching. For me, every experience is an opportunity to explore, reflect, and uncover meaningful insight, because growth doesn’t just happen at the destination. It’s shaped in the in-between moments.
