The Heart of Listening (ePub)

Cris Smith is a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, writer, facilitator
and one of Gods faithful prayer warriors. She worked in the banking
industry for over 8 years, working her way up to
Loans Officer. She coped with being a working
mom for the first four years of her marriage until
she and Don her husband, decided to make the
necessary changes in their lifestyle so that Cris
could become a stay-at-home Mom.
Cris is married to her husband, Don for 34
years nowa mighty long time to collect lots of
anecdotes on everyday joys,
sorrows, accomplishments,
foibles, sacrifices, surprises
and even tragedies. Proudly giving birth to nine
children, six of which are boys, ranging in ages from
14 to 33, Cris also home schooled three of her
children. Unfortunately, shortly after her birth,
Sara, their 8th child, passed away.
Cris and her family are well known to the
Salesian family and have been active members of St.
Benedicts Parish since l982. In l990, Cris was one
of the first members of the Salesian Cooperators
in Toronto and held the position of Coordinator
for three years. For over 10 years she produced and
edited a quarterly magazine called, the Salesian
Cooperator Magazine and for the past two years has been writing her
spiritual autobiography entitled, Let the Spirit Fly Wherever It Takes
You. In the year 2000, Cris was involved with the start-up of a support group called, SARAS CORNER, named in tribute to her baby Sara and facilitated the workshops for parents with babies who had special needs. In 2006 she opened the doors to her own charity that her family founded together under the name Blue Veil Charity and became the Executive Director of the charity. Today, along with her sons, Cris runs and operates a Centre for youth of all abilities called the SARA ELIZABETH CENTRE, named again in tribute to her baby, Sara Elizabeth Smith where young adults with special needs come together to share their gifts and talents through the arts.
