When destiny calls, you need to pick up …
On the surface, Kristi Danielson has it all. She’s lifestyle coach to the rich and famous, has a bestselling book to her name and is described by her fans as “the veritable Queen of how to lead a fulfilling life”.
But the harsh truth is that Kristi has never practiced what she preaches. Her home life is a mess, her relationship with artist boyfriend, Tom, not much better – and now she has to redeem herself before all is lost.
At her wit’s end, Kristi is driven to seek out the help of Patrick Blakeslee, a tarot card reader and psychic medium, in an attempt to make sense of the mounting panic she’s feeling.
But Patrick’s visits have an unexpected effect on Kristi, leaving her with more questions than answers – and a life-changing decision to make.

EXCERPT
I’m the
middle child, sandwiched between my eldest brother, Luke, and the baby of the
family, Drew. My mother had three brothers and so, as the only two daughters in
two generations, we were always in the minority. That rather tends to shape the
way you look at things and there are only two ways it can go. Either you are
the one whose voice is seldom heard above the sea of testosterone around you,
or you make yours the loudest voice of them all. You become the organiser; the
one who leads – in short, my brothers accepted that I was in charge. Maybe it
was because I had inherited the bossy gene, if such a thing exists. But, from a
tender age, what I lacked in practical knowledge, I made up for with sheer
common sense and the dubious ability to be believable.
I say dubious, because I learnt that I had the
power to organise and control what went on around me. I was a natural. What
surprised me was the fact that people around me loved being told what to do.
They sought my advice, opening up to me and looking for guidance at every step
of the way. As a teenager I felt I had a heady power and it gave me a sense of
confidence. At the time I didn’t understand that it was something to be treated
with respect and a healthy dose of reality. People simply lapped-up what I told
them and that, I suppose, was the blessing that has become a curse. When people
are unsure about what to do next they look around for someone strong to advise
them. In their desperation they are grateful and comforted and the person
delivering the advice? Well, it’s addictive and each little success elevates
you in their eyes, as well as in your own.
The truth is that I am supremely confident when it
comes to organising other people’s lives. I’m extremely proud of the fact that
I can inspire others and encourage them to develop their full potential. When
it comes to my own life, it’s held together with the emotional equivalent of
string and Blu-tack. Simply put, I’m a fraud.
Money and fame go hand-in-hand and there isn’t a
chat show worth mentioning that hasn’t featured me at some point in the last
few years. My name constantly crops up around the world and even in countries
like the US, Japan, and Sweden, it’s instantly recognisable. Grab Life and
Run With It is in its fourth season in the UK and I’ve just signed a
contract for a further six episodes. My fan club is full of hopeful people,
eager to share each of their milestones on Twitter, as they follow my
celebrated Twelve Steps to Finding YOU plan.
To the world it appears I have all of the trappings
of success. The harsh reality is that I spend my time trying to cover the
tracks of a life that has no balance. All I have is my work – there is nothing
else.
