Christine started the blog Collective Heart in September 2006 as a way to use the “collective power of the internet” to highlight and promote worthy causes. Though sporadically updated, the site sheds light on socially conscious people and organizations, as well as Christine’s altruistic, compassionate spirit – a spirit that shines even brighter in another of her web-based projects.
Also started in late September 2006, “60 SECONDS OF LIGHT is an attempt to create an internet-wide September 11th video memorial. The concept is simple: “On September 11th 2007 we are asking all vloggers and internet video content creators to take a break from their regular scheduled content and instead upload 60 seconds of light. A candle burning. A lighter lit. A glow stick glowing. Anything light-filled that you feel honors the memory of all those who were lost. Our hope is to have this light spread throughout the internet; creating the largest memorial service ever to commemorate September 11th.”
