Much of what seems so real in this physical dimension is not the entire Truth of who we are and/or what we can do. Over the last decade, I have allowed myself to both explore and expand beyond the physical, mental and emotional boundaries I thought were rigidly in place in this "reality". What I found was an aspect of Self that I had forgotten was there. I offer these wonderings and wanderings as an invitation to see beyond "what meets the eye", MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and "why can't I?" in your life!
Read, ponder, explore the depths of yourself. Although our eyes focus outward, we are primarily here to see and change ourselves. If you want to go deeper in your healing and release more quickly, let's work together. These writings are not short ... but the world is full of insightful one-liners which haven't managed to fully communicate to and shift heart and soul. I remain ever hopeful ... Much love, Kristi

Perhaps we are only afraid of the dark because we have forgotten or become somewhat separated from OUR LIGHT!?!
Imagine yourself, walking through a forest during the day. You see and hear birds and little creatures living their lives ... seeking food, sunlight, shelter. Perhaps you feel a kinship or peace within nature and you feel so alive "in nature".
As the sun begins to set, beautiful shafts of light make their way toward you. You notice that golden hue and accept the sun's "goodnight" kiss.
have a conscious knowledge and bad memories of childhood trauma, neglect, abuse, shaming, or abandonment?
feel like SOMETHING's MISSING in your life, but “on paper” you’ve got it all?
feel like you SHOULD be happier? You’d like to be happy but cannot easily laugh, feel awe/joy/ inner peace?
feel stalled or stuck in some way? You cannot pinpoint what your next move should be or have TROUBLE MAKING DECISIONS?
find yourself SELF-SABOTAGING RELATIONSHIPS? You shut down when things get “too real”?
feel really angry much of the time? Feel like you cannot love yourself?
observe that your EMOTIONS ARE sometimes really EXTREME? Someone says or does something most people would consider minor, yet you respond with or feel extreme rage, sadness, frustration, rejection, loneliness, (fill in an emotion of upset)?
“suddenly” find yourself sick or have developed a MAJOR DISEASE, despite eating well and taking care of yourself? Perhaps you even developed an illness in your teens or earlier?
Being traumatized in your childhood or not being nurtured in a way you needed/craved may be at the core of each of these circumstances and conditions. Understanding the role of the inner-child can help us to both identify with and step-up to a greater version of self.
In my spiritual counseling and healing ministry, I see us energetically, emotionally, and even to an extent physically, like these Russian (Matryoshka) Nesting Dolls. In this sense, we are complex, multi-dimensional and multidimensional. Even our experiencing of life is not only in the present moment. Sometimes we are living through the eyes of past woundings and/or future tense fears or beLIEf in lack.
Do you know where the myriad aspects of YOU stand? It's important for us to look at
While it’s an accomplishment to achieve a long marriage,
there are more measures of success than years alone. My husband, Joe, and I
have been married for 40 years, 39 of those years blissfully. Statistics show
that many marriages end in the early years, and we most certainly could have
been among those as I nearly self-sabotaged this relationship in our fifth year
of marriage (more on that later).
Perhaps you’ve heard that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? This
statistic was true in 1980 (the year we married) but, since that time,
the divorce rate has been on the decline. You’ll find many updated
statistics online (interestingly they are largely served up by divorce
attorneys). Philip N. Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland
College Park, notes that from 2008 to 2018 divorce rates among women
fell by 18%. (1)
Our focus and obsession with divorce can ultimately be a
large part of the problem. It was for me. READ MORE
There is expansion, symmetry, balance, love, light even amid what some might call "chaos" or "a crisis". There is no need to "rush in to fix things"! Our first reaction will likely not come from a place of love; we may respond with fear and finger pointing.
But we are each/all co-creating what we see, what we experience, what we feel! We cannot change that creation until we see all of its sides in 3D. We have to understand that what benefits only a few, likely hurts many. If, individually, we want a world that is better for us, we have to create a world that is better for all.
Love thy neighbor as you love thyself because when we hurt another, we ultimately hurt ourselves, We may not see that in this moment, but it will follow us through all time/space ... in Time all Truths will be Known.
Yes, things that have been hidden from view (and/or that we have consciously and unconsciously avoided seeing) are coming to our attention. We must look, not with scorn or finger-pointing, but with compassion for ourselves and "the other". We cannot fear or hate the darkness because seeing the darkness actually allows for amplification of the Light.
Nothing is ever absolute, even though our minds want to label things/people good/bad, right/wrong, etc.
As a young artist I was taught we cannot add a highlight to a painting without some surrounding darkness. That brilliant light just doesn't show up without our awareness of the darkness!
We cannot uplift/heal what we avoid, blame on others, cannot or do not see. We can amplify the light as we face the darkness with love and compassion. Seeing it is part of our evolution toward balance, love, light for all. This is an abundant world, and there is more than enough for everyone! "In God We Trust" was added to our money as a reminder of what is sacred!
Have faith, anchor yourself in love and compassion, and when you get off course, just bring the compass back to center. Be the love and compassion you want to see, first within your own sphere. Suddenly, you get to live amid love and compassion.
Let your light shine forth out into the world, owning your darkness. Avoiding it or hating it just creates more darkness. Flood it with light, love, forgiveness, peace. This is especially true when you see it in others because you'll likely see it in them before you see it in yourSELF.
All is Well and happening for The Highest Good, which always includes each of us individually. 💗 Awareness = The Power of Choice = The Power to Change!
I sat down in dawn’s early light to make notes for the attached video from my FB Live Wellness Moment. As the sun came through the window, this beautiful rainbow illuminated my note pad. I took it as a sign of LOVE, assurance, trust, gratitude … peace.
Life/nature shares signs of positivity. How often do we miss these light-filled signs?
All Is Well
For much of my adult life, I missed life’s signs that All Is Well. I based my happiness upon what the media was telling me, what I perceived to be the rejection/acceptance of me by others, how busy I was … heck, even based upon whether the sun was shining or it was raining.
Eventually, I started to see the balance of life. I opened my awareness to rain’s gifts upon all life in our world. Now, when I initially perceive a negative situation, my Higher Knowing moves me to seek out and find the gift. This is a huge win-win strategy for finding peace and understanding that in each moment All Is Well!
The Ebb and The Flow
There are so many beautiful lessons of peace in nature. Just go to the ocean or a large lake and listen to the ebb and flow of the water along the shore …. ahhh! There is also a rhythm of Ebb and Flow to life.
In the USA, and perhaps in much of this “modern world”, do-do-do is our focus/mantra. We are asked from the time we are teens “what are you going to do?” There is so much focus in our world on the Flow. “Go with the flow.” “Be the flow.” “Trust the flow.”
Peace is in Being
Is do-do-do the ultimate state of being? Is this where we find True Peace? NO! What if our focus on doing and ignorance of the value of Being has limited our peace?
“Go with the ebb.” “Be the ebb.” “TRUST THE EBB.”
The video message includes my sharing that I became a sole entrepreneur 35 years ago. My business experienced major Flow and then would crash into the Ebb. Without awareness or understanding of the balance of life, rooted in a belief that I could only be of value if I was doing and earning money, and lacking the faith that All Is Well that I’ve earned through hindsight, I WOULD GO INTO PANIC MODE!!!!
I have learned to not only trust but also to EXPLOIT the ebb of life. Where is the opportunity hidden in plain view as a challenge?
The answers are there, illustrated so beautifully by our Mother Earth … the ebb and flow, day and night, winter and summer. A season of an explosive new life always follows the period of dormancy.
Receiving in The Ebb
Winter is a time for going within, seeing where we are going, and assessing what shifts we may need to get on track. It\’s probably no coincidence that our New Year reflections also happen during this introspective period.
Life is moving toward our Highest Good. That doesn’t include JUST us, it includes everyone else, all life here, our planet. If we miss the signs for change and doing what’s in our collective Highest Good, the Universe may need to self-correct.
Our free will gives us choices in how we experience our world. How will we experience the Ebb? Will we panic, or will we trust? Will we lament our lack or look for previously-hidden doorways to abundance.
Will we exploit this time to be the architect of our life? Or will we go deeper into the “rabbit hole”? The Ebb may be our chance to reassess what seeds we need to sow, cozy our nest, dream our dreams … BE present, so know how to best apply ourselves BEFORE the tides turn.
Duality is NOT Absolute
We live in a world of duality … yes, the Ebb and Flow, the Yin and the Yang, black and white, expansion and contraction. Our minds want to label or define things/situations as good or bad. Our heart knows this is not Truth!
I have experienced the uncertainty of the Ebb and the thrill of the Flow. I know it can be difficult to just trust in and embrace the Ebb as exuberantly as the Flow for a variety of reasons. However, I assure you when you become more mindful of life’s signs and patterns, there is peace in knowing that something big is sure to follow any flow.
We are receiving gifts in the Ebb just as we are experiencing lack within the Flow. Nothing is absolute, so push yourself to stop viewing our wonderful world in this way! There is plenty of time! Breathe … BE.
Observe how you are resisting the natural process of life. Where are you missing the positive by closing off your awareness once your mind sees the negative? Nothing is absolute. Look further/deeper!
Awareness = The Power of Choice = The Power to Change!
Trust and faith… these are not easy conditions for us as humans, especially given the sheer volume of negativity in our media. Is this ironic or by design? It is in the space of trust and faith and awareness that we find peace.
Be aware. Expand your view. Look to nature; it seeks balance and harmony. Surrender … All Is Well!
Imagine one thing ... just one moment you've felt REJECTION or LOSS ~ Open your seeing of that moment as your life path's auto correct, meant not to root you, but to shift you ... GO! Fly free! Love, Kristi
There are many times in our lives when situations seem to change beyond our control or even beyond our worst imagining. We may experience this as (1) the loss of a friend, family member, lover, (2) being passed over for a promotion, living arrangement, deeper relationship, (3) having a physical accident and injury, or (4) getting very ill mentally or physically.
Human nature and prevailing Western culture whines "why did this happened TO ME?" Yet our expanded awareness shows us that "this may actually be happening FOR ME!" How can loss and rejection of those we love, jobs that support us, living arrangements that seem to be working be happening FOR YOU, you may ask?
Perhaps rather than being comfortable and safe, or perhaps because of that, these placid life circumstances may not actually be serving your strengths, your higher quest for soul growth, your ability to touch others' lives, your evolution toward unconditional love!
"Life Evolving Beyond Fear" illustrates our forward-upward
movement, in unity. Rather than being consumed by fear,
we are being offered choices and the power to BE
light, love, trust, compassion, hope
in spite of and above fear!
Hello friends,
I sat down to create an image on 3/10 and "Life Evolving Beyond Fear" emerged. Use it to help identify and release fear and obsolete programming as we ascend toward a new, more global, and empowered consciousness. Other tools and suggestions follow.
As the snake sheds its skin, we can shed what is holding us back
from embodying love, light, compassion, hope, faith, trust!
It is prudent to follow safe hygiene guidelines, but it's best to do so without fear. Fear is an anti-building block within own auto-immune systems, within our relationships and within our world! Rather than lament cancellation of plans, events, even work, take this time for self-reflection, healing, and evolution beyond fear.
Reflect on where you are/have been living, emotionally and vibrationally.
Often inner strife is due to reality being far removed from what we wanted to happen or thought would happen ... the friendship you thought would be everlasting, a league of friends you vibe with, the optimal job of your dreams, a living arrangement that seemed like "the perfect fit". Why do we experience endings?
If you're like me, when you have a "good thing" you want it to last. This may rarely happen in the "real world". These transitions make sense when we understand that we EACH are on a journey of growth and expansion. Our evolution may be incompatible with our quest for stability and/or longevity of engagement with a person, place or situation.
We may see transitions as a dead end, when they are actually a type of soul-growth escalator!
Our expectations may be the only thing preventing our seeing potential. Rather than feeling forlorn when a transition arrives, try to move more quickly toward an eager anticipation that more and better are coming!
In any friendship (job, living arrangement), how you show up, your commitment, and your communication are key. But the other person (employer, landlord, lover) and their own vision, comfort, soul journey, expectations are also critical. Their side of the relationship/situation is not in your control, never was, never will be.
Moreover, their actions in ending WHAT IS may be part of a soul-growth journey your Higher Self set up! There are merely actors in your story .. Things do not happen TO you; they are happening FOR you!
Self-blame and finger-pointing does nothing more than make you more miserable. Take a nice deep breath. Feel the air expand your chest. Imagine your nose is on your chest and breathe for a couple of minutes with your awareness, there in your heart space. Peace is always just a breath away ... not in your head, but in your heart!
Transitions may be fluid for some peeps. Yet, for those who have grown up feeling they're not enough, experiencing abandonment by one or both parents, only receiving love and acknowledgement on a conditional basis, etc., these "break up" events can feel devastating.
Know that you are loved beyond this space and time! You may be shifting timelines to embody a greater version of yourSelf. With trust and an openness to what comes next, we can make room for anticipation, even gratitude!
When we look, in retrospect, on major life events, relationship/job/home transitions, particularly those that were not expected, we can often see how they moved us forward to a stronger version of ourSelves. Yet, some people get stuck in the transition because of deep inner wounds ...
