Christy

Welcome to Solas Beatha (BYAH-ha), Scots Gaelic for Light of Life, a sanctuary created by me, a Hippee by day and a faerie by night 😉

For over twenty years, I’ve created under the name L.M. Christenson; author, artist, and maker of Colorado Hippee spa offerings. That name still lives in my books and stories.

But now, I return as simply Christy.

Solas Beatha now holds all I’ve created, and all I will create, under one roof. It’s a place where storytelling, healing, and seasonal soul connection come together. I’m steering this ship with joy, continuing to write, paint, and offer the soul-nourishing goods you’ve come to love.

Here’s what’s blooming in the sanctuary right now:

• 📝Experiential Journals: one for every month of the year.

• ☕️🧚🏻 Tea Time Weekly Facebook Live for a tea break, community support & gratitude, nervous system calm & reading myth & fantasy

• 📸 Nature photography 2026 calendars & photo gifts

• 🌲 Seasonal herbal tea blends & healing salves

• 🎁 Holiday spa boxes (coming soon), often wildcrafted with ancestral care

• 📚 Beyond Trivar, with book two underway, I’m sooo excited to share more soon!

If you’ve arrived here as an old friend or through curiosity, welcome.

Whether you’re drawn to story, scent, or stillness, I hope Solas Beatha helps you slow down, breathe deeply, and return to what matters most.

✨ More offerings are bubbling to the surface soon… so stay close.

All my love,

Christy 🧚🏻‍♂️🦋🧚🏻‍♂️
