Out with 2012, In with 2013 – Lessons Learned

Last updated on: December 31, 2012 at 12:59 pm By Kristy Robinett

As we wind down the year I like to do some soul searching and reflection by asking myself several questions. What was I GRATEFUL for in 2012? What LESSONS did I learn in 2012? What INTENTIONS do I have for the next couple of years? What is my THEME, or word(s) for the next year It isn’t time for cynicism or regrets. By spelling out the learned lessons I feel that I can better make new intentions (I don’t like the word resolution so much). This... Read more

Your Own Worst Enemy

Last updated on: December 30, 2012 at 1:41 pm By Kristy Robinett

I sat at the blue cafeteria table, staring into space. I heard the soft footsteps come up behind me, but I didn’t feel the need to turn around. It just didn’t matter. “I know you’re upset. Can I explain?” I choked back the tears. I didn’t want to give the very person who rejected me the satisfaction of showing me how upset I really was. But my silence didn’t seem to scare him off any and he... Read more

Merry Christmas

Last updated on: December 25, 2012 at 5:14 pm By Kristy Robinett

I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God bless Christmas! ~Charles Dickens Merry Christmas from our home to yours! The presents have all been opened and the house is empty except for Chuck and I (and my dad) as the kids have gone off to their dad’s home. I used to hate having a split... Read more

I Predict…

Last updated on: December 16, 2012 at 5:15 pm By Kristy Robinett

This time each year I receive calls and emails from television and radio stations asking for my New Year predictions. In previous years, I have reluctantly done them. I say reluctantly because I feel as if the predictions they are looking for are drama filled like – “I see several storms in this part of the country/state and will kill this many people.” Eight months ago, on a syndicated radio station, I was asked who would win the Presidential Race...

Surrender Your Fear

Last updated on: December 8, 2012 at 8:44 am By Kristy Robinett

Just a few weeks and counting until…no, not Christmas, the end of the world! Right? It is December 21st from what I have been forewarned. Fortunately I don’t play into the fear. Oh, sure I am all about being prepared for the just in cases, but when it comes to drinking the Kool Aid, I bring my own drink. Several years ago I was attending meetings with others in the New Age/New Thought community. Most of the meetings revolved around the... Read more

Shadows & Sunbeams

Last updated on: November 15, 2012 at 6:55 am By Kristy Robinett

“Happiness is like a sunbeam, which the least shadow intercepts, while adversity is often as the rain of spring” “How will Santa bring presents? There isn’t a fireplace,” my six year old son asked looking around the tiny duplex, his gray eyes sad and scared. It wasn’t just about Christmas and Santa, but about the transition as a whole. “I think he has a key,” Micaela, his older sister, answered, looking at me for confirmation. “Yes, a key,” I...

From Grudge to Gratitude

Last updated on: November 2, 2012 at 8:26 am By Kristy Robinett

“To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” ― Confucius “You suck!” “I don’t love you anymore.” “I am so disappointed in you.” “You are ugly!” “You aren’t at all talented.” Those unkind words, and sometimes truthful words, can certainly hurt, but what hurts even more is hanging on to the words and that hurtful moment, as if they are ghosts of the past continually haunting you. By replaying it over and over, it becomes poison... Read more

Energy Zapped

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 9:06 pm By Kristy Robinett

She looked like a zombie, and it wasn’t even Halloween yet. “What is wrong with you?” I asked, as polite as I could. We were best friends and although I am psychic, I do try and live a normal life, with normal people and normal conversations. Being ‘on’ and ‘reading’ constantly would irritate most all of my family and friends. “Where should I start?” Lila threw her purse down in the booth across from me. The next hour I listened...

Shining Through the Darkness

Last updated on: October 18, 2012 at 9:00 pm By Kristy Robinett

“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” ― Mary Oliver I think it is safe for me to say that we have all experienced a sad time in our life when we never thought the sun would shine again. The darkness, like a ghoul hiding in the closet, affirmed that nothing could ever get better and only scarier, ghoulish, things would continue to happen.... Read more

Believing is SEEING

Last updated on: October 3, 2012 at 11:14 am By Kristy Robinett

I am very honored and grateful for the support of Lori Weiss and Marlo Thomas for sharing my life story with the world on the Huffington Post today – “After Years Of Secrecy, A Psychic Begins Solving Crimes”. “Are you sure you want to come out of the psychic closet?” Lori asked me in the middle of our interview. She could tell that my emotions were raw and I was beginning to feel a tad bit exposed. Even though I... Read more
