—Annie Grace, Founder of This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol and best-selling author

I love this book. I love Kristy’s direct approach to telling her story of transformation and her journey of recovery in such a simple and authentic way. It’s an easy, engaging (and fun!) read that is inspiring and insightful. It gives the how-to for anyone who is struggling or lost in confusion or addiction who wants to find a way to peace, joy and clarity. This is a powerful story that gives a step-by-step method for ending addiction and transforming your life by being who you really are. Messy Miracles can help anyone who has been praying for a miracle. Kristy is living proof of what happens when you have the willingness to make small changes and to see things in a new way.

-Lisa Natoli, Founder of The 40-Day Program of Transformation and The Healing Cure

Messy Miracles is a breakthrough book. Kristy’s approach and openness are a refreshing change from most of what’s being written in this space. There’s a lot we can learn from being so open and authentic about our own journeys through reading this account. I applaud this effort.

—Gerard Armond Powell, Founder of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica

Kristy gives a raw and honestly authentic narrative of her journey through addiction to spiritual awakening. This book is packed with helpful information for those on a similar path. It is a book of hope and healing and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with addiction.

—Chris Tremaine, MPC, LCPC

Messy Miracles is one of the best recovery stories I’ve ever read. The writing is captivating, and the amount of hope and encouragement Kristy gives is priceless. I’ve seen many an author share their painful life story with no guidance for the readers to get through their pain. The amount of healing Kristy has experienced is such a breath of fresh air for those of us with messy lives looking for hope. I highly recommend it.

A Little Word on Manifesting: It’s Not Rainbows and Unicorns!

Everyone wants Abundance. Abundance is happiness, love, wealth, peace, and a feeling of purpose. Praying for and manifesting these things in life does work, but it may not happen like you anticipate. Many of the popular messages now emphasize making manifestation statements and positive affirmations, believing you are worthy, and acting as if you already have what you desire. The messages make it seem like that is all there is to it. It is not always that simple. God answers prayers, and the universe will give you what you want but be ready for some surprises.

Through my experience, I have learned we must co-create and be ready for some work. Put on a pair of tall boots and get ready to wade through some shit. Life as you know it may completely fall apart. It will explode into a million shattered pieces and it is up to you to put it back together in a new and improved way. Instead of running from and avoiding fears, we need to face them head on and endure the pain to find peace. It was during the hardest time in my life when I found the answers. I was devastated, torn apart, and my life was in total upheaval when I truly began to transform and seek my truth.

People and situations come into our lives for a reason. We are souls on a human journey and here for a purpose. We have all heard the saying it is darkest before the dawn, but until you truly experience the darkness, you will
