Tearing Down the Walls

Dream Builders,

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, we began demolition on our new (yet very old) farm! That’s right, we bought a little Carr/Fassett family compound with three buildings (OK four buildings, but one collapsed!) on 16 acres in lovely Woodstock. This gem has been neglected for a very long time and needs lots and lots of Crazy Sexy Love. Brian and I don’t know much about green building/restoring, but boy are we learning fast! In the process of tearing down walls to see what we’re dealing with, we discovered there’s actually a small house trapped inside the main house. Wha? The ole gal was originally built in the 1800s (ghosts! boo!), then the 1980s came along (a wacky time for fashion and architecture) and gave her a very bad makeover. Someone literally boxed her in and built weirdness around her. Here’s a little vid of us tearing down the walls. Crash. Smash. Boom. It was very liberating! Sometimes to create something new you’ve got to clear out the old. I love freeing diamonds …

Peace & crowbars,
KC

How to Be Rich, Happy & Hot

Soul Sparklers,

Yesterday we closed on our new heavenly haven in Woodstock. It’s a beautiful old farmhouse just waiting for some love. Plenty of room for animals, people and veggies! I’ll be diving deep into renovating, learning how to garden (um, help!). Basically, I’m looking forward to to (sassy/sexy) home-making and bringing more balance into my life. And one of the ways I can do that is by putting into practice what I’ve learned from biz maven and Crazy Sexy Life contributor Marie Forleo. She has a white hot online program called Rich, Happy & Hot B-School that shows you the secrets to providing incredible value online while creating space to live and love your life! Seriously, she breaks everything down into easy actionable steps and lays out the path for you to follow your bliss and create an income stream to support you and your dreams! Open enrollment began yesterday. Check it out here. Any other B-School alumni out there? Share your experience in the comments below! I took the course last year and loved it so much that I’m doing it again. My very old farmhouse needs it.

Peace & pencils,

KC

Ask Kris: Wheatgrass & Gluten

Happy Earth Day!

Hey unicorn planet hugger. Wanna great earth friendly tip? Go vegan! Even if only for a day. Save the animals, the oxygen, the water, oil, soil, etc. FYI: there’s more protein per calorie in broccoli that there is in that T-bone. I’m just saying! Ok, so today’s video is my first “Ask Kris” segment. yeah! You ask questions, I answer said questions. And if you have a question for my next segment, lay it on me here tootsie! If I don’t know the answer, you can bet your sweet buns I’m only an email or phone call away from a fantabulous expert who does! Hunting knowledge is my personal pass time/obsession. In fact, knowledge is the only things we should be hunting.

Hope ya enjoy.

Peace and questions,
KC

Crazy Sexy Miracle Snuggets

Hi Miraculous Maven,

I’m back, and I’ve missed you! Welcome to my little “Stoop Talk” segment. It’s too dang nice to stay in the house, so Lola and I brought the rig outside where the snow and the sun and the birds are all singing and shining. Miracles are on my mind, my friends. There have been so many in my life. As my friend Gabrielle Bernstein discussed in her blog last week, a miracle is simply a shift in perception from thoughts of fear to thoughts of love. Ooh, now that’s some spiritual sugar. Sweeet!

I’ve personally experienced the power of this shift countless times. Haven’t you? Ya ever notice that when you continually perceive “such and such” as too hard … it only gets harder? Time for some re-programming, sista (and bro)! Miracles create the space for total transformation at the cellular lever. I can teach you how and what to eat/drink. But if the “think” part is topsy-turvy, you’ll still create inflammation (inner flames) in your life. Let’s change that, shall we?

I invite you to join Gabrielle Bernstein and me for our Crazy Sexy Miracles lecture. Live in NYC and on Ustream Video. That’s right, watch us from your computer!

We’re gonna tickle and tussle you towards love and away from fear. Because as I’ve said many times, when you change your mind, you change your life. The negative thoughts and fears are just so frickin’ draining. They take up way too much valuable mental real estate.

When I embraced the miracle, my health and happiness transformed in the most empowering, holistic way. To that point, I’m gonna throw down some tasty diet and lifestyle snuggets (snugget: when a snippet and a nugget have sex, they make a snugget). We’ll review key aspects of plant-based medicine including how to reduce the aforementioned inner flames (inflammation), balance pH, and the importance of eating less from the animal kingdom, more from the plant kingdom, and nothing from the laboratory kingdom. I’ll give you the scoop on how come sugar is crack and why Lady Starbuck’s really needs to take a back seat to green juice. Join us in the shine and get ready to shift.

Oh, and ya know what would be really cool? Share a shift with us here. Remember a time when you moved from lack to plenty. What happened as a result? Did you see that your soul mate was right under your nose (like I did). What happened, hot stuff?

Peace and possibilities,

Kris

Crazy Sexy Diet Celebration!

Power Posse,

Hope you dig my brand spankin’ new video journal of the latest stops on the Crazy Sexy Diet book tour! Flipcams rock! Now that I’ve got my feet on the ground again, can I just say thank you one more time? We tackled that New York Times Bestseller list TOGETHER. Number 6, baby! I have the best posse in the universe! As a thank you, I’m continuing to hold uber cool giveaways for juicers, Power Storm Sessions, and a one-on-one coaching session avec moi at my Facebook Fan Page. Make sure you shimmy your cute tail over there and check it out, okay? Apologies to those of you who’ve had a hard time finding the book – your fellow wellness warriors wiped the shelves clean! Stores are restocking as we speak. Amazon might say scary things like “out of stock” into next week, but you can still buy -  it’ll just ship a little slower. By February 1st we’re told they’ll definitely be back up to full speed! Barnes & Noble.com is cruising now and of course give some love to your cozy local bookstore through Indiebound. Sorry for the wait, fantastic folks! Please fill your weekend with green juice and imagine me raising my glass to you as you take your first sip.

Peace & a giant heap of lovin’,
Kris Carr
