moved met linda

In 1997 I made a life changing decision. I moved 3000+ miles away from my home state of SC and drove, by myself, to Washington State. All on a whim. Within two weeks, I had sold all of my belongings, packed my books, clothes and computer in the car and stayed one last night inContinue Reading

voices in my head emerald

This may deserve some explanation. 🙂 In the 2008, with a mediums help, I was able to connect with a trio of guides. He told me they were kings of the Crystal Realm–Ruby, Emerald and Sapphire. To be honest? I was a bit skeptical. I mean, I was working with crystals at the time andContinue Reading

expectations reciprocity

Christmas is billed as the season for giving- both materialistically and benevolently. We often make it about a time for receiving too. We are taught this as children, the exchanging of gifts. There is an expectation in place as soon as the holiday starts. Being good could net you lots of gifts, being bad couldContinue Reading

homeless shelter

No one in the family was aware I was homeless. You see, Daddy had cancer and by this time was not doing well. He had always saved me (and believe you me, I had made some really bad choices in my youth and often needed saving. That was my reputation in my family-or at leastContinue Reading

homeless shelter

In the early 90’s I caught pneumonia. I did not have health care so did not go to the hospital. I had called in sick for weeks because I could not breathe. My landlords evicted me for not paying my rent on time. I left them my furniture as payment for rent. I was officiallyContinue Reading

random thoughts

Some days, the brain is over active and random thoughts speed through. A “squirrel!” moment if you will. These are some of those thoughts. Use your time here in this physical experience for good. Do not get bogged down in the fear and judgment of “things”. Treat others how you would want to be treated.Continue Reading

what if

What if…… We stopped caring so much about how others perceive us? What if we stepped into the other persons shoes to understand why they had that perception in the first place? We stopped putting all of the emphasis on the “bad” that has happened to us? What if we stepped into the other sideContinue Reading

do you see me

Look up from your phone, your computer, your Kindle, your favorite show on Netflix. A beautiful soul is waiting to be acknowledged. To be seen. To be heard. It could be your daughter, your son, your spouse, your parent, your pet. But you do not see them at all. You are far too deeply involvedContinue Reading

today i sat

Today I sat then sat some more. I thought that maybe I’d be bored. I closed my eyes and thought a bit as I continued just to sit. How quiet it can be you see, when everything is still. Kristi 9-7-2017Continue Reading

more moments

Life is a series of moments strung together over timeSome moments are cherished, others are condemned, and many are done without awareness or thought. We think these moments define us-How successful we are, how much stuff we have, how busy we are. In this day of social media we define ourselves by how many “likes”Continue Reading

Im not good enough

Project: I’m not good enough. A conversation with myself. Why am I not as successful as…..(my mentor, my friend, my family, other people, other businesses…….and on it goes). We all want to be seen. We all want to be acknowledged. We all want to be validated. It is part of the human experience. It isContinue Reading

mirror

We can say it in the mirror 100 times a day. I am beautiful. But honestly, has that ever helped anyone gain self confidence and increase self worth? We can share memes and quotes and articles that resonate, but after the initial reaction and share, does anyone remember it the next day? We can readContinue Reading

being bipolar

Some days I feel like everything is right. Positive, upbeat, out of sight. Some days I question why I am here. Full of doubt and full of fear. Some days I feel like I have a plan. Some days I feel like I know I can. Some days I feel mediocre at best. I wantContinue Reading

sleepless

A sleepless night. My mind in a whirlwind. I journal in the dark. What follows is that conversation with myself. When I was born, I could do no wrong. By age 6, I could do no right. A free spirit put in a box is like holding a horse back when he wants to run.Continue Reading
