SQUARE Pegs In ROUND Holes... In 2009, I finally got fed up of working for other people, being around workmates with no backbone and low moral fibre (not their fault - just societal programming, lack of parenting and the mortgage trap) and employers who would throw employees under a bus at the drop of of a hat.

I sat down and wrote my first memoir, Eating Smoke, using the compensation money the first of two employers had to pay me for unfair dismissal (see what I mean about square pegs)
Friends doubted me but I had faith I would write a bestseller. Having suffered acute mental health issues and been rejected by society, then recovering without the help of support groups OR the medical community, I never stopped believing in me and now it was time for my 15 minutes of fame and to start to manifest all I could be - despite addiction being an ongoing challenge in my life.

When I walked through Heathrow Airport en route to my book launch as Hong Kong's #2 bestselling author - and seeing my book in the charts alongside premiership footballers and Hollywood chat show hosts - I smiled and said 'Well done, Chrissy' - those that know, know.

In Hong Kong I was treated like a celebrity - with photoshoots, newspaper spreads and radio shows - even signing the bookshop's VIP photo album next to Roger Moore.

Despite fulfilling all of my dreams in the '3d realm', none of it matters - it's just some nice memories. What matters is my connection to the Universe, to the eternal energy, which IS me.

If I don't cherish and maintain this alchemical relationship then my lower nature kicks in, negative behaviour reappear and I start to struggle with my demons and unhelpful habits like anyone else.

I hope this helps. If some of it doesn't make sense then BOOK ME for a free chat - because you deserve to access the truth.
Much love!
