I want to share some important new information about Chris and the details surrounding his death. These are important to read,  as the education can help beyond Chris’s story. My sincere thanks to Jon Krakauer and Ronald Hamilton for their research and work, and also to Adam Read. Every time more truth is revealed, there becomes less noise to muddle through.

Late spring and early summer were loaded with corporate keynotes and educational visits for graduation ceremonies and baccalaureate addresses. My thanks go out to so many that sent in kind words after those events. Summer has been a whirlwind of travel, work on upcoming ventures and spending time with family. I look forward to fall lectures and continued work on an exciting project in development – more info to come! Thank you all for your support.

Thanks to all that came out for the 5K event and/or showed their support online! What a fantastic day it was with many old and new friends. In loving memory of Chris and in honor of human rights causes that were important to him, we raised a great deal of awareness and funds to help Promise Places Charity. www.promiseplaces.org

My thanks to all that supported The Assisi House Charity at our incredible Sonoma Event.

There is another POWER Conference for women coming up in January . Watch for details.

As I continue to raise awareness on the issues of domestic violence through my writing and lectures, my siblings and I will be choosing charities to highlight on our community facebook page, that aid women and children that are dealing with this crisis in their lives. Please like our page to stay informed.

Thank you ~ Honor Each Day ~ Carine

The POWER conference was a wonderful success, thanks to all that attended. It was a sincere pleasure to speak with you. I also want to thank all that have joined the community facebook page I host with my siblings, to honor Chris. We appreciate your messages from all over the world. See below regarding upcoming events I am hosting for The Assisi House Charity.  Many have asked about my upcoming book, the work is going well, thank you for your interest.  Honor Each Day ~ Carine

The lecture event at VA Wesleyan College was stellar. My thanks to all involved, students and staff. I am looking forward to being on campus this year and my book development work with Dr. Douglas Kennedy.

I am currently putting the finishing touches on a lecture for POWER – a non-profit empowering women conference that I am speaking at next week. I am also busy planning several upcoming fundraising festivities for the Assisi House charity. Find us on facebook and at www.assisihouse.org   Thanks for your support. ~ Carine

Hello friends, some exciting news to share.  I just received word that Virginia Weslyan College has assigned Into The Wild as the common text for the incoming Freshman class of the 2011 fall semester. There will also be a specific learning community involving further study into the book, combined with outdoor adventure experiences. I am certainly looking forward to working with this new set of students here within the beautiful nature Virginia has to offer!
