The Long Dimly Lit Road of Depression

Last updated on: August 12, 2014 at 5:26 pm By Kristy Robinett

The announcement of actor and comedian Robin William’s passing on August 11th shook many and it wasn’t long, in the social media era, for a myriad of wildfire-like opinions and advice to surface. What I found disturbing was the stream of insensitive comments. Mental illness and depression is real and true. Suicide didn’t kill Robin Williams, depression killed Robin Williams. Depression and suicide seem to sadly be a synonymous theme with comedians. They try and make light of their inner... Read more

7 Ways to Get Unstuck

Last updated on: August 4, 2014 at 1:05 pm By Kristy Robinett

Hands up if last couple of weeks have was rough! The vibration humming in the Universe has been brutal, especially for those who are empathic. War, murder, plane crashes, and well, I don’t need to air the laundry list. With the weekend’s New Moon it made many feel even more insecure, depressed and moody. As we head into mid-week and into August, we may have to consciously work at getting ourselves unstuck in order to enjoy the remainder of the... Read more

The Unveiling

Last updated on: July 28, 2014 at 1:59 pm By Kristy Robinett

Ascension, or sometimes called the Shift, seems to be a buzz word that isn’t just circulating around yoga classes, meditation circles or trendy coffee houses. It’s expanded from the spiritual gurus into mainstream society. Both terms are often misunderstood and considered new-agey and woo-woo when, in reality, ascension is merely a fancy word for change. The only thing that stays the same in life is change: a reoccurring theme from the beginning of time. Many who subscribe to the Ascension... Read more

Get Out of Your Own Way

Last updated on: July 7, 2014 at 10:51 am By Kristy Robinett

You know that a show or movie is fabulous when the characters and storylines feel real, and you can’t wait to see what happens next. Writers, directors and production companies thrive on that kind of reaction from viewers because it means big ratings, more shows/movies and more money. It is a very impersonal business, very one-sided. Lately there have been many remakes of old films. “Can’t they think of something original,” you often hear on social media and morning shows....

Wish Upon the New June Moon

Last updated on: June 25, 2014 at 6:23 am By Kristy Robinett

A New Moon, or Dark Moon (since you actually won’t see any moon), occurs once a month. The New Moon is the darkest phase of the Moon, but it also marks the beginning of the two-week time frame when the Moon moves away from the Sun and increases in light, which it a great time to begin new projects, new love, new careers or anything else new you want to do (or are afraid to do)! This New Moon begins... Read more

Last updated on: June 18, 2014 at 7:20 am By Kristy Robinett

As the weather heats up, the activities around town do too. Chuck and I, sometimes alone, or with either kids or friends, try to do several events like take in a Detroit Tiger game, the zoo, a festival here or there, concerts, and so on. Just this weekend Chuck and I took a mini-vacation over to Ontario, Canada to see Country artist Jake Owen in concert. “I’m just going to leave my phone at home,” Chuck said to me as... Read more

June’s Strawberry Full Moon

Last updated on: June 12, 2014 at 5:33 am By Kristy Robinett

Maya Angelou said that “There’s a world of difference between truth and facts. Facts can obscure the truth.” Friday’s Sagittarius Full Moon tackles the truths and perceived truths in our lives, uncovering and releasing. Full Moons tend to make many feel emotional and sometimes weepy, and the June Full Moon, called the Rose Moon or Strawberry Moon, can make you feel as if it is time to pack up a suitcase and explore the unknown, both literally and figuratively. But knowing that... Read more

Happily Ever After

Last updated on: May 30, 2014 at 3:46 pm By Kristy Robinett

Last Sunday my little girl became a Mrs. with only a two weeks’ notice and only days’ notice that her fiancé (a Marine) was given weekend leave. And so my daughter Micaela and I planned a small outdoor wedding for our closest family and friends, all the while praying that the weather would cooperate, Caleb’s plane wouldn’t be delayed or orders revoked, the flowers would arrive on time, and on and on. What happened in those two weeks could only... Read more
