    Hi Kris! man i wish i was there!! i can't wait to hear about the posse tour! what an cool idea :) hula dancing?! thats so awesome! i hear its so fun, hulas that light up, and loud music, sounds like a blast! those kinda classes are taking off in L.A etc..

    hey totally opff topic...what are your thoughts about brewers yeast? good or horrible?

    also your last 2 posts-"Why don't the doctors tell us this?" and"Reflections", were great posts, i think "Why don't the doctors tell us this?" was one of my favorites even, i never got a chance to comment, i just wanted to say that i thank God your out there speaking at hospitals, you are a voice of health,wellness,and common sense, in a world of total chaos! your calling to this world is amazing, and i pray God give you the wisdom and strength to fulfill every once of it :)

    Hi gang,
    I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Kripalu with this crazy sexy group and it was such a powerful experience. I encourage you all to hula-hoop! Not only does it get your energy centers moving, but it makes you laugh and feel all goey inside. A few of us bought hula-hoops to bring home too. I went right to Target and picked up a couple of kid version hula-hoops for my kids. (This way they didn't have to us my fancy sparkly one.) It was so much fun hula-hooping with the kids, we laughed as a family like we haven't laughed in a long time. Incredibly healing ....and an added plus, my abs got a nice little workout too.

    Kris, as usual you bring us a wealth of information, support, understanding and lots of green love. Terri, your meditation was fabulous as was your genuine advice and coaching. You have us all manifesting great things to come! You are a beautiful team and we are blessed to have had your light shine on us.

    I loved every moment of the the Crazy Sexy Boot Camp AND my return to Kripalu. I have continued the love here at home...leaving the ashes of stress behind, living with forgiveness and love, adding to my happy list and filling those cubbies!! As I mentioned on the Forum stream, I thank each and every one of you for your laughter, tears, supports, shares, friendships and love, love, love......

    Oh, I forgot to mention. Sandy rocks! Kris, she is a beautiful stream of grace and acrobatic light. People, she could do things with the hula-hoop! Thank you for bringing her to us.

    Kris, I just wanted to say thank you for what you are doing. I can't say that I know you or have followed you, I have only heard of you and I think I saw you on Oprah. I love your spirit and the fact that you have found purpose in life AFTER being diagnosed. I wanted to ask you if you could provide me (or your blog readers?) a link or two to better understand your diet. I don't have cancer, but I like the idea of keeping it that way. Is there a book I should buy or a site I should read? I just wanna know how to get started with healthier nutrition! I'd love to learn about this stuff myself, but I don't know where to start.

    Much love and hugs and support,
    Polly

    Kris,
    This is really ironic, I was just replying to a friend who had asked how I was doing, mentally. I have a dear friend in Stage 4 BC who is near the end and hanging out with her has brought up my own PTSD stuff, as I'm only 18 months out of my BC... I obviously still visit her, but have to over come the nightmares/stinky thinking/doubting I have been doing and just 1/2 hour ago, had said, "I am doing better with my stinkin' thinkin' and not letting it in". Crazy Sexy Coicidence! Wish I could have been there this weekend, still saving to get to one in the future! Hope your "Posse" heads to Minneapolis/St. Paul, I would drive down to that in a hearbeat!!
    Peace & Veggies!!
  • thomcat · 1 year ago
    Hi Kris - I sooooooo wanted to attend Kripalu but I had surgery 4 weeks prior and can only walk for exercise. Please do it again!!!! I'm echoing Mandi43 - is there any chance your posse can come to SW Florida? I can help get the posse together!!!!! Would love to experience the love and message you spread first hand!!!! Cathy
  • Kris Carr · 1 year ago
    I'm scooping you all up so that you can come to posse meetings! Thanks for the love loves... xo
  • tsiegrist · 1 year ago
    Hi Kris,
    I have a friend that has a little girl 5yrs with cancer. Kathy found out that Lola had cancer just this April 2008 - The doctors though she had allergies...(go figure) Lola is fightin the good fight and getting her treatments but its killing her. I want so much to help her and I just dont know where to start?
  • Kris Carr · 1 year ago
    I think the best place to start healing is with food. Pls check out my first book, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, and if she can perhaps try and explore the Hippocrates Health Insitute in Florida. There is another great place in Arizona called An Oasis of Healing. Both might help. And there is so much that we can do as well.
    Peace & Blessings,
    Kris

    Its amazing that so much transformation can happen in only 48 hours. Sharing this past weekend with everyone at Kripalu, showed me again how powerful we all are! I just made a green juice and I am toasting to you all! xoxo

    Hello Kris:
    I am new at this blog thing, however I work in one of the most wonderful enviroments in the world I believe. I am the manager/administrator of a home called Sorrentino's Compassion House. you can learn more about us at www.compassionhouse.org basily we are a home away from home for women to stay while undergoing cancer treatments. We have had over 350 women stay with us so far we are a 6 bed room home. I was given a copy of your book by one of our guests and then I heard about your documentary and thought that that is something we could use in our home to help our guests in getting through their journey. If you could tell me where I could purchase a copy I would love to order one.
    I am a 2 time breast cancer survivor and admire your strength and courage to tell your story with such a sence of humor and compassion. God Bless you in your journey. I can be reached at sayler@compassionhouse.org
    Blessings.

    I was lucky enough to attend the Crazy Sexy Cancer Bootcamp this weekend and it was wonderful. I met some of the most amazing people. I came away with a feeling of power, I know now that I can concur anything, especially this dang cancer. I am working on incorporating the all parts of the "chair" in my new life.
    I wasn't very good at expressing myself when it came time for me to speak this past weekend, but I just wanted to tell everyone how much your stories of hope, struggle and courage have inspired me. You made me laugh, cry and I realized what an amazing group of people you were and I feel priveleged to be able to spend this time with you. Let's kick canser in the ass.......xoxo Patricia (aka Tinkie)

    Hello Kris,
    How great it is to be back reading all this. This computer is still difficult to figure out at times.
    I would really love to be a part of your gathering. How do I find out where your going to be and when? I live in S. Oregon and I would LOVE it if you would bring some of that LOVE out this way. Thank you SO much.

    I wish I could have been there. How about a west coast retreat? Santa Cruz is lovely and it happens to be where this cancer cowgirl lives... :)

    Sending lots of west coast love,

    Hi Kris,

    I just finished watching your movie! It was really wonderful! My sister was diagnosed a year ago, this coming January, with ALL luekemia. Because she was about 8 mos pregnant and her body was shutting down, they took the baby by emergency c-section. He's perfectly fine. She's had chemo treatments and was under the belief that it was gone in May. Two weeks later, they found it hiding in her brain. Tricky! So, back with the treatments. She's about a month away from having a bone marrow transplant. I'm sending her your film. I'm hoping that several points made in the film will get her thinking positively and get her "moving". Am totally excited to read your blog and check out your website more! Thanks for making the film and sharing your life with so many. :)

    Kris,
    I love reading your blog. The way you write is infectious, like I just have to read what you're going to write next!! Way to go lady!
    Here's my thing, and maybe you've gone through this? How do you stay focused to eat healthily and living peacfully? Do you ever get burnt out on it and if so, how do you reconnect? I was vegan for about 2 months, going strong after seeing your on Lady O and then reading your book (although I have no canser to speak of, I think that your advice is priceless) and am now a solid vegetarian. Unfortunately, I'm losing steam and need some help! What to do? Any words of encouragement? How do you get back on track or just plain ol' re-focus? How do you keep it at the center of your life? People around me are not the 'health' type and it's getting to be sort of a struggle. Do you ever feel disheveled and your eating habits suffer? So much to ask. :)
    Thank you for what you do and how you inspire everyone every day. You are a warm, awesome, rock spirit. Peace, ~Kat
  • Debra Kettler · 1 year ago
    Hi Kris,

    I am traveling to Woodstock for a family wedding next Wednesday and I am hoping that there may be some good vegan restaurant options in town and in the surrounding area. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for all your good work,

    Debra

    You're an inspiration to us all, Kris. Cancer folk or not. I have a page about you on my website. Keep at it!

  • rosalie · 1 year ago
    have had BC twice & saw Kris on a morning talk show. She was great & I thought to myself I wished I could have been so empowered during my cancers to help so many! Well, little did I know in less than a month watch that program that I would be facing cancer again_ this time in my eye. It has only been a week & here I go again with the scans & finding out is it mets from the breast or an new primary. I was first diagnosised in 1993 & turned 50 this year. All I wanted to do was to enjoy my 2 beautiful daughters & life. I am trying to draw on positive energy but feel at time the odds are against me. Please help me with some positive thoughts. I really need them. Thnaks,Rosalie
  • Blanche MILLIGAN · 1 year ago
    Thank you for sending these uplifting remarks. My husband was diagnosed last fall and fought his cancer bravely until July when it decided to win its battle over his body, but I am happy to report that he is constantly with me sending positive thoughts and support. His reading of your emails is now left to me and I hope to join a gathering of yours when possible. I am now working with our local Hospice House and perhaps we could arrange one of your tours to help people like me who are left behind to keep working toward the peace we all desire and need. Happy holidays and thanks.
