By justkristi82.com This year has been the most transformational year of my life — and I don’t say that lightly. I started January at the lowest emotional and spiritual point I’ve ever been. I was empty, exhausted, and still carrying the bruises of years of narcissistic abuse, manipulation, and betrayal. I had forgotten who I

Photo by Jon Tyson on Unsplash It’s been a crazy few weeks here on planet Earth. Life has changed immensely for most human beings. People are frightened and stressed and wondering what tomorrow will bring. Some people even say the world is ending. But what is really happening….is the beginning of the Great Awakening. People all over the

Disclaimer: I am NOT a psychiatrist or a psychologist. These are all just my own thoughts and observations. Society these days seems to be an out-of-tune orchestra of mentally ill human beings roaming about the Earth looking for ways to fill the void. In some ways, that’s exactly what it is. But if you look

A funny thing happens when you are in the midst of a crazy tumultuous time in your life. It’s like the whole time you know you’re preparing to enter a storm, and you have faith that you have all you need to defeat it, and you’re optimistic about the outcome. And feel ready for it.

I was married for 96 months in a robust 2-income household and never had a penny to my name. Our rent was ALWAYS late. We faced eviction so many times over the years that I lost count. The power company sent us shut-off notices every month. We spent many nights in the dark, using candlelight

I’m not big into holidays. I never have been. I find them to be quite chaotic, stressful, overstimulating, wasteful, and well…fake. I’ve always looked at them as nothing more than a major tactic of capitalism under the guise of “tradition.” And each major holiday, without fail or exception, ALWAYS brings me the wondrous gift of

So I’ve been chatting with a lot of people in my circle lately about how the universe communicates with me constantly. I’ll be listening to music and a song I’ve never heard before will play at just the right moment and the lyrics will answer a question I’ve been pondering. I’ll be driving down the

Last week, I set out with a simple intention. I decided to go meat-free for one week. That decision quickly evolved into something deeper. By Monday, I committed to a one-meal-a-day, meat-free fast, eating only at 6:00 p.m. I completed Monday and Tuesday successfully. Hunger was present, but manageable. I felt focused. Clear. Grounded. Then

So, here I am, tucked in at home today, feeling a bit under the weather and letting Dave Matthews Band be my medicine. Funny enough, it brings me back to a night in 2021 on Northerly Island—one of those nights that turned into a story I never thought I’d tell. I had tickets for the

CASE DISMISSED I don’t talk about this night often. Not because I’m ashamed—at least not anymore—but because it represents a version of me that no longer exists. Still, it’s part of my story, and pretending it didn’t happen would be dishonest. So here it is, in my own words. At the time, I was living

Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash The very first scary dream I can remember having in my life was of a swirling black hole. There were two little creatures, small and colorful, holding each of my hands pulling me in circles toward it. Although I was dreaming, I literally felt terrified. I knew it was

I treat people with respect regardless of their capabilities. I was lucky enough to be created a little more “elevated” than most. I don’t use people. Even though I could literally be a puppet master if I wanted to. I can literally cause exactly what I desire to occur with my mind. Or a single
