I have heard that many local people are asking where I’ve been and wanting to know: “Whatever happened to Krista?” The answer to this is simple – I have evolved; I have listened to my internal guidance . . . and I have obeyed. In my town and in the areas surrounding it, I became publicly known (labeled) as “The Relationship Coach.” I was the woman whose voice was on the radio and whose books and workshops were the newest buzz around town. All of that – the experience, the work, the teaching (and learning) has served me well. It also brought more growth to me and made way for more things to emerge from me.

For just a moment, let’s think of our entire lives as a pathway, a myriad of lanes; sprouting out, one from another and leading in what seems to be all different directions. As you visualize this, keep in mind that no path is ever a straight line; they are all curved and winding, wide and then narrow, much like a river. Also not unlike a river, each path leads to the same place – a place of completion, where the river merges as one with – and back into – its source. Which mouth of the river we are currently on is a direct result of which inlet we had chosen to take; what choices we made and what experiences we wanted or needed. It is also dependent upon where we’ve already been, as we cannot experience some things without first having experienced (and learned from) others. The key to life mastery is having the ability to recognize these little “laws” and to allow things to unfold in your life naturally – allow the paths to open to you or for you.

So, to answer the question about where I’ve been the last year & a half, I have been taken down a new path – a path which would not have been available to me, had I not been where I was and experienced (and learned from) what I did. My new mantra, “I do what I do because I’ve done what I’ve done.” That is so incredibly true for me! When I was working so much in the public eye the last couple of years, I was being prepared for a much larger “venue,” even bigger audiences, more private clients and teaching to larger groups. It was all part of the molding process, which we all experience. It’s that whole idea of the foot bone being connected to the leg bone; we cannot jump from the foot bone to the neck bone without first having journeyed through the areas in between. For me, the last few years have been the “in-between” from the beginning of my mission, “Move to Valor” to where I am today. And I’m certain that I’ll look back in a few more years and call today my “in-between.” It’s just the way life works.

My work as a coach in this little tri-county area of Southwest Florida was the pathway leading to more spiritual work on a National level. Those of you who know me understand that my spirituality has long been the foundation of who I am as a person and that it has always been implemented in my work. One thing that many have not known is how deep my spiritual connection is and that it includes many Divine gifts. These “gifts” are areas of myself I have suppressed (to varying degrees) throughout my life. In my local area, only those closest to me have an understanding of these gifts and the capabilities they provide me. I’ve spent much of my life relying primarily on my knowledge and what I have learned through my studies to provide for my family. I have “splashed” my work with my gifts, but never allowed them to lead me and become the driving force; I have never allowed my gifts to be the bread & butter . . . until recently.

I experienced another great awakening during a Reiki Healing session last year. During that session, I was told by God that I needed to be willing to “give it all up.” I was told to let it all go and trust that I would be renewed, refilled and better than ever! It was promised to me that if I gave it up; the book, the coaching and everything that I relied on for my financial health, it would be brought back to me “the right way.” At first, I resisted. I am human, after all. I immediately noticed a tremendous financial deficit in my life. There simply was no work for me at that time; at least not in a way that was in alignment with the person I had spent years “creating” through my various studies and life experiences. Finally, knowing what I must do, I surrendered! I gave up everything I had worked so hard to achieve; I gave up any promotion of myself as a coach, teacher, writer – anything! I was then placed head-first into a new church that was much more in alignment with my Metaphysical beliefs and before I knew it, I was enrolled in their college to earn my Reverendship. Almost instantly, I began experiencing an incredible expansion of my spiritual gifts . . . and I found myself in the most beautiful part of the river of life, where there is love and light everywhere!

The result (and I know this is just the beginning): I spent the entire summer working in many of the states across the Midwest, as I stepped forth with my gifts, allowing them to be my primary focus. As promised, my work as a teacher, counselor and coach was renewed and given back to me – the right way! Who I have trained to be will always remain as a beautiful extension of who God made me to be! Many wonderful blessings to all of you, as you each follow your own path.

Love & Light,

Krista Kaine
