Manifest With Me!

Being a want-to-be-gardener, I have spent years planting different varieties of flowers, plants and vegetables. Some varieties that I grow, I hold a stronger affection for and not because of its beauty, but because of something deeper, more spiritual. Every single thing I plant I know that I am helping give life to and that has been my mantra since I was born. I am supposed to help. Now, even though I am psychic, it does not give me the all knowing superhero card (darnit!) and so I know when to ask for help, whether it is for me, for a family member, a friend or a client.
One of my favorite flowers is the Sunflower. At the beginning of the season, I poured over the hundreds of varieties of the sunflower. Some have larger heads than others, some are orange, some yellow, some even are pink. Some have double heads, some are 3 feet tall and others grow to 15 feet tall. I was awed by their individuality and chose different sorts and planted them in several different gardens, all together – not segregating them.
Sitting on my garden bench last night, I was fighting a horrible migraine as I had over twenty readings yesterday, two police cases, a dusting of hauntings and my regular mom, wife and daughter stuff to contend with. On top of that, we were having torrential downpours, terrible storms and scattered power outages. Even with the migraine, I couldn’t help but smile when my husband gave me a hug and reminded me that this was what I wanted ever since he could remember. I was living my dream and I was truly loving it, minus the migraine. Something caught my attention to the side of the garden and I drew in a breath – one of my sunflowers had popped up and several others were beginning to show. And so my mind wandered to the element of the sunflower. In the morning, the sunflower faces the east and as the sun moves so does the sunflower, continually facing the light of the sun until it is nighttime, when it knows that the sun will come up in the east and it turns once again, awaiting morning’s arrival. Its faith doesn’t waver that the sun may not come up, instead it holds faith and just expects that it will. Lately, I have been going through life looking towards the light. I am not chasing it, but keeping myself firmly in its path and am so grateful to say that I am blessed in receiving the warmth, the love and the ‘knowing’ that it is caring for me. Any clouds that obstruct my view, I know that they will disappear in time and the light will once again shine upon my face. I am believing, expecting and accepting.
I often tell my friends, my clients and my family to BELIEVE, EXPECT and ACCEPT. I don’t think many understand my added ACCEPT. Many times we believe our dreams or goals will happen, but we are too afraid to expect it because, after all, what if we get burned? You have to EXPECT it no matter what because if you don’t, I am telling you right here and right now that it won’t happen, so keep believing and then keep getting disappointed without the EXPECT. Sort of like that homemade cake minus the baking soda. You have a cake, but without that missing ingredient it won’t rise or taste very good. The third instruction is to ACCEPT. Often time we are raised to be happy with what we have, or we grow meek and mild over the ‘gifts’ that we are given. Don’t say, ‘Thank you, you shouldn’t have and hand it back. ACCEPT the gifts that you are being given each and every single day. Now, I do not mean physical gifts, I mean spiritual and emotional gifts – something much deeper than a sweater from Aunt Sue. This is part of being grateful. I am someone that gets embarrassed by gifts, so when someone brings me flowers or a small trinket, I often get very quiet because I always have the thought that I am not worthy. Do you do that too? Well, get that big eraser out and stop thinking that way (I am including me in that too!). Believe. Expect. Accept.
Now, back to my sunflowers. As I said, I planted different varieties together and so far so good. I realized also, that I have done this in life. I have different varieties of friends in my life. Some know one another. Some don’t (and are in different gardens, so to speak). Some just know of one another. I did the same when I was school. I didn’t like clichés. I still don’t. I think that we can all compliment one another just as my sunflowers will when they are all in bloom, each aiming for the same goal of staying in the light.
Love and Light to all of YOU!

When you are going through ’stuff’, how do you react? Do you take it out on the people you love most? Or maybe you bite off the head of the innocent stranger just trying to make a living ringing up your groceries. Often times we react negatively when we are feeling unsupported. We forget that we have to be our own cheerleader and that it doesn’t make us selfish at all, if anything it makes us a better person to everybody around us. It gives us spunk to keep going and it shows us that we shouldn’t settle for anything less than what we deserve, keeping us in the positive, which only brings more positive.
Stir up your inner strength and encouragement.
I was going through a rough divorce, working three jobs, ducking bill collectors, and raising two little ones. The negativity tried like mad to creep in to my energy. “You will never find a partner! Or at least one that is trustworthy!” “Money - you will NEVER have it!” “You grew up in Detroit…you will amount to nothing!” That negative unseen guy kept whispering things in my ear on a daily basis. I walked around without sleep, dragging my feet and hating my life. I went to jobs that I despised and I hung out with people that weren’t fantastic supporters, if anything they loved that I was having problems because it made them look all the better. And I dated men that didn’t respect me or my values. I was living in a fog of what felt like someone else’s life. One day (and I really do mean that it was one day!) I woke up and realized that I hated my life. I had several choices; leave the life completely, live the life I was living or change it to something better. Not one choice sounded grandiose, but I ended up choosing the hardest choice that there was - I chose to change my life into something better. I didn’t have a clue how I was going to do it, so I started small. I made it a point to smile the moment that I woke up, even if everything looked glum. I began to journal my feelings out - the good, the bad and the ugly. I began to take note of what I was grateful for, excited that each day I saw more and more good in my life than the bad and the ugly that I was seeing days earlier. Several years later, I look at who I was, that girl who would have much rather laid in bed with a blanket over her head crying and I don’t even recognize what was me.
Focus on the good things in your life along with those good things yet to come.
I recently leased office space for the several businesses that I run. I had been working out of my home office, but the dogs barking, my dad sighing and calling out for attention and the summertime noise of the kids and the lawn mowers was beginning to unnerve me. I didn’t know how I was going to afford an office. And yet here I sit today in my office with my Diet Pepsi, my soothing music playing and my handy laptop, I can’t help but smile. I had dreamt this very thing; this very office over a year ago. I didn’t have a clue how I would pay for it, when I would get it or what I would be doing, but I left that to the Universe to figure out for me. And here I sit.
A lot of my clients ask me to give them specific things that will happen in the future, which is expected when you go to psychic. I suppose that my take on it all is a bit different, though, because I see different paths for my clients - the one if they stay where they are in their lifeless fog and the other paths if they begin to dream and stop expecting somebody called Destiny to knock on their door and tell them E.X.A.C.T.L.Y. what to do with their life. We weren’t created as robots and we shouldn’t act like one.
And so I tell you to dream even if you can’t figure out how it will happen. It takes courage to not want to know the exacts and stop controlling it, but in the end you too can be excited that your dream (or dreamS) came true!
Staying in the Positive,

Did you get the point that I am happy? I just keep getting happier and more excited each day I wake up. Well, sort of. If I could sleep in order to wake up it would make it even better. I am having major sleeping issues (only sleeping approximately 2-3 hours), which the doctor says has to do with my 1. estrogen and hormonal changes and 2. I finally feel well. But, I am happy happy happy happy happy happy happy! I get up out of bed (after doing my affirmations, journaling and visualization), take a shower and put on my business clothes (making sure not to dress like a slob and get dressed up!) and head to my office. There I write, journal, plot, plan and do readings. And I am getting so much accomplished that I can’t stand it. Anybody want to hear with what? Do ya? Huh huh huh huh huh? Yes, I am working on about 2 hours of sleep today.
1. New Companies. I am currently working on 3 upcoming companies that I cannot disclose as of yet, but I am so excited that I could just scream from a mountaintop. I am doing all of my legal paperwork, creating logos, websites and marketing strategies.
2. Schmoozing. I am schmoozing with my new office building people…all of whom I love. For the first time EVER (ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) when they asked me what I did for a living I said “Why, I am a Psychic Medium” and dutifully handed them my brochure and business card. None ran out of the office screaming. Instead, I had two of them book parties with me.
3. I am writing. A lot. I have several books that I have to get done (one that has a looming deadline for (thanks to my publishing company who has been wonderful during my illness) and another that I have a personal looming deadline for). I was also asked to blog on several newspaper sites, where mostly reporters and editors blog. One of the papers I had been a guest writer, but I have a feeling that with this blogging may end up into something more. Just a feeling.
4. Radio. Amy Williamson and I are really working hard on PRing ParaWomenRadio. With several affiliates now, we are super excited at what we have created in only a year. I am also working on another radio thing with my husband. I will be giving details out once I get more sleep.
5. Events. I am an event guru right now and between The League events, psychic events and other companies that are contacting me to help with marketing strategies, I am keeping busy acting as the PR Queen. This is something that I LOVE and will be under one of my “new companies” that I will be premiering soon. Very soon. Sooooooooo excited!
6. Gardening. I LOVE to garden and we have flowers, herbs and veggies growing everywhere. It is a peaceful thing for me to do and is a shared love with my hubby. Oooo..I think I may have given away another business that will be launched soon. Sort of. Ooooooooooo…..
Some Learned Lessons -
I think that what I have learned the last year, even though I knew it, was that you have to do something you love. If you really love it, it isn’t ‘work’ and it will truly flourish. I firmly believe that and can only hope that my friends, family and loved ones can begin just that also. Not to say that everybody should quit their job and become a hippie because they love wearing bell bottoms and listening to Pink Floyd, but don’t stay miserable. It only gets you……a hysterectomy. LOL!
Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy…..(maybe a little SLAP happy!)!!!
Staying Positive,
Kristy

My surgery was finally completed and I was being tucked into my hospital bed when the nurse looked at my chart. On it, it noted my profession that I had so proudly written as ‘Motivational Speaker’. The nurse asked me what I spoke about, and in my pain stupor, I firmly pushed my pain pump and answered, ‘I speak on anything that will help inspire a person to dream big.’ She sat on the edge of my bed and asked me something that I think most people wonder, but don’t have the confidence to ask, ‘What if I don’t know what I want?’ I winced in pain, trying to sit up so that I could look in her eyes, ‘You know what you don’t want, right?’ She nodded confidently. ’Now start from there.’ I have to thank my angels for even helping me think cognitive because after four hours of surgery I was surprised that I knew my name, but it also made me laugh because they aren’t letting me get away from a choice I recently made; a life that I want to lead and a dream that I am following to the end.
My sister recently text me that she had a great day and was feeling so happy. My heart sincerely did a flip flop for her because she has not had a great life and holds a lot of negativity towards everything. I replied that I was thrilled for her. She in return replied that we both deserved happiness. Those simple words made me want to cry because I typically hear out of her mouth (or texts) phrases like:
‘What can go wrong next?’
‘It was only a matter of time before it all fell through/’
‘Always something…’
And guess where else I have always heard those phrases? Both our parents. Our outlook on life just so happens to be another learned behavior that we get from those around us, whether that be our parents, a teacher, or even our co-workers. Luckily, you can change that pattern and what happens can be, dare I say, glorious!
Here is a cliff notes version that will begin your change:
1. The first thing you have to do is figure out what you want and make that visualization as real as you possibly can. If you can’t figure out what you want, write down what you DON’T want and then take the opposite of that and I am betting that the things you want out of life will start flowing. I find it helpful to write this out in a journal and have fun with it.
2. Then take magazines or pictures from anywhere you want and create a visualization board so that you don’t forget what you want to manifest.
3. You can also create a support group. Choose friends or coworkers and email back and forth every morning 5 - 10 things that you are grateful for and 5 - 10 things that you want out of life. Again, make it as real as you possibly can. Use all of your senses. Make sure that those that you choose in your manifestation circle isn’t anybody that will judge you for what you want, but will support you (even when you say that you want to quit your job and be a full time psychic and life coach!). If you are too shy to share with anybody, that is ok too, but be diligent about making the changes in your life.
4. Just keep remembering that you attract what you feel.
The Universe doesn’t want you to struggle. It is too easy to get stuck in a rut, but it’s time for you to open your eyes every morning and be grateful for the day and actually get excited about what the Universe has in store for you. Don’t walk around in a fog of emptiness. Embrace life. Believe me. I have walked in that same fog and I am sure that it is starting to smell bad… Life is great! There is room for all of us to deserve every part of that.
Now what inspires you to dream big?
Surgery
My surgery was successful (although painful). I now have no appendix and other parts that I won’t detail here. I was supposed to spend 4 - 5 days, but talked them into 2 days because the construction outside my window was driving me nutso. I do have a ton of stories to share, but won’t bore you will all of them. Some were funny, some were scary and some were just plain paranormal. Now most that know me also knows two of my biggest fears; being alone and being in the dark. Being alone in the dark tops it. So without even mentioning it, my Guides and Angels made sure that neither of those fears happened. The first night, both my nurse and my nurse tech sat with me until I fell asleep, and then made sure that the light was left on and the door ajar when I left. My usual hospital panic didn’t set, which I am very thankful for. I had my cell phone and my laptop and apparently that with pain killers makes for a funny combination because hours after my surgery I emailed my friends and told them that I was home from the hospital. I had everybody confused, including myself because if I hadn’t seen my crazy outbox I would’ve never believed that I did such a thing. My husband has vowed to remove any electronic equipment from me if there is ever a next time.
Other Updates
I am doing my best to rest and relax, but have gotten some news over the past few days that have set me in a tailspin.
Television: The first is that a network is flying out next week to tape a documentary on my life. I am honored beyond belief. I will share more information as contracts are signed, but this one seems promising as there is an air date for the show.
Radio: ParaWomenRadio has been picked up by I Am Haunted and Para-X Radio. We are so excited to be joining their radio family.
Events: And…I am meeting with several people this week to secure some event dates for October.
Seminars/Workshops: I am also working on securing dates and locations.
Books: I am working on completing three books right now at a furious pace and hope that you will love them! One is on hauntings in a small Michigan town, another is a fun chic lit book (which is completed and being pitched) and the final is the story of me.
Q & A: I receive daily e-mails and messages that contain so many questions that I am having a difficult time keeping up. Please remember that I blog on www.tangledwishes.com along with my Myspace at www.myspace.com/tangledwishes. I also have a forum set up at http://www.pretty-scary.net/forum-23.html to ask me questions. If you have a basic question for me, please post it there and I will try to help you. However, if you would like a personal reading please go through my website at www.tangledwishes.com to schedule a reading with me. I get hundreds of requests a week for free readings and I simply just cannot do free readings, which is why I offer discounts and one question readings for those that cannot afford a full reading. I hope that you will understand that my time is valuable (and my family sort of likes spending time with me too!).
I wish each one of you many blessings and happiness throughout your own journey in life!

I hope that this sunshine and warmer temperatures are helping you feel more positive about life! I remember a time in my own life, years back, where I would be angry that the sun was shining because my mood was gloomy. I so just wanted the weather to match my mood; dark, dreary, with lots of rain. I was depressed that life had the audacity to continue on without me, and have the guts to do it in a sparkly way! I never ever want to return to that mindset again, but I am grateful for that time because I believe I was given the trials and tribulations as a testament of my nature. I do hope that I passed. I now wake up each day with a smile on my face and the knowing that the day will be a good one. Disgusting, huh? Well, sometimes my husband and the kids think it is, but life is much too important to walk through it in a fog instead of living. I mean really living! Oh, I can hear most of you groaning that you have nothing to be happy for and nothing worth putting a smile on your face. S T O P!! You CAN make something out of nothing, but you have to do one thing. Believe.
Ok, fine, you have to do more than one thing. You have to change your thoughts.
As you have heard me say so many times over, thoughts are things and every time you put a negative thought out into the Universe, you get exactly just that back. There is so much power in words, so start paying attention to what you are actually saying and thinking. I think you will be surprised at how negative you may actually be without realizing it. Don’t become discouraged if you don’t see changes take place immediately, instead become empowered in knowing that they are coming. It is time for you to speak life into your dreams. Nothing is impossible unless you believe it is. Trust. Believe. Expect.
I recently saw a post from someone on the web that spoke of following your dreams and how it was so tough and that she recommended that those in the same field think long hard before jumping into that ‘water’. It bothered me that this person had such a limited mind set, and knowing that this person was just one of many that thought that same way. I don’t believe that there is anything that I can’t accomplish, which may sound naive to some, but it sounds like a wonderful life experience to me to move the barricades out of my life. That is my life goal for others - to show them that they too can remove all the blocks so that any dream they dream can come true. No limitations.
As most of you know, I will be having a full abdominal hysterectomy and appendectomy on Wednesday, April 30th. Last week my doctor called me to let me know that my hemoglobin was down to an 8 (normal is 13 – 16). The fear of having this surgery postponed was more than I could take and it set me in a spiral of negative thoughts. I have been in pain for several months, and although I am not thrilled with having surgery, I am hopeful that it will take my pain away. I sat down after thinking about the thoughts I was putting out there and realized that if I kept up those thoughts that yes, my surgery would be postponed. So…I started a new mind set and meditated on it. Within a few hours the doctor called back to tell me that they took care of everything. I now have to check in to St. Joseph ’s Hospital in Ypsilanti , MI on Tuesday, April 29th to have a blood transfusion and the surgery will go on as planned on the 30th. Not only should I be pain free once recovery is all said and done, I should have more energy after the transfusion. The doctor informed me that I will probably be hospitalized until that following Saturday. So, as of Tuesday, April 29th I will not be available until the middle of May as I am giving myself some time to properly recover (something I normally don’t do). That doesn’t mean that I am not taking appointments for the end of May or June (which is starting to book quickly already). I have my lovely husband and daughter who are going to take care of my emails and calendar until I feel good enough (and am not in a drug induced state). Thank you all for the cards, prayers, book suggestions, and words of encouragement that you have already sent. I am truly grateful for it all! On a side note – this truly made me look at the gift of blood with new eyes. I will never be able to donate blood because of my anemia condition, but if you are able, I ask that you consider it.
Ashley Howley - If you have followed me through the years, you know that I worked on police investigations, with both police agencies along with victim’s families. Ashley was one of them. Ashley’s remains have finally been found and we are waiting for the investigators to complete their task and return her to Michigan where she will be buried. If you would like to donate to help in her burial and funeral, please contact me at kristy@tangledwishes.com or you can PayPal any amount to ashleyhowleyfund@tangledwishes.com. You can also mail a certified check or money order to me and I will be sure to give the family the money asap. Each and every case I take on is special to me and Ashley’s is no exception. I have close contact with the family and they appreciate the prayers throughout the years.
TELEVISION - The past couple weeks I have been contacted by different media companies trying to get me to work with them on missing person and police cases. As much as this excites me to know end, my surgery and healing is very important to me and I have asked that they contact me in July if they still are interested in moi. I would love to work on tv, and police cases hold a special spot in my heart, so I hope that at the end of the summer that I will have some more news!

Today I turned in my resignation at my workplace. I have been weighing this option for the past couple months and kept teetering on the edge of the unknown. I grew up with the mentality that you 1. go to work even if you are sick and 2. you don’t quit your job unless you have another lined up and it is signed, sealed and delivered. Well, I have completely blown both of those ethics that my mom and dad instilled in me, but instead of feeling guilty I feel this whoosh of relief.
I hadn’t been happy in years. It wasn’t necessarily the workplace’s fault, but more of what was in my own heart. If it doesn’t feel right, no matter how much you try to fit yourself into the awkward, it will only shape you into the demented. Making myself healthy in mind, body and spirit has been a true wake up call. The quitting part was only another prescription for my healing.
Shifting my true perspective has not only been exhausting, but most of all truly enlightening. I realized that I was resisting my destiny and that resistance was creating roadblocks in my life. I have come to realize that He is working behind the scenes to help me create anything that I want to do and to be. It is not anybody stopping me from living the life I want other than me. And so I am learning how to walk with the thoughts of my heart and look for the signs that speak so loudly at times but I am too dense to see them. Today I opened myself up to what some may call the impossible, but what I call truly wonderful!
