Life is hard. It throws us curveballs often. But there are those of us that use those hard times to dig deep and discover their own True West path. For Christiev Alphin, going east to Nashville from Oregon after the collapse of her first marriage, was really a part of her true west journey and was the catalyst to living the beautiful life she has today.It was in Nashville, that her career blossomed as a fashion stylist and creative director for many Country and Christian artists.
