I couldn't agree more, Celia! Brava to you for sharing your authentic voice in this very wise post!

Re: We have a new home! Crazy Sexy Life!

Oh, dear! I'm scared, Mama Kris! This blog (and the NY Times) is my homepage. Should I switch it to the new website? Is this one going buh-bye for good soon? Oh, the fear of change!
BTW, thank you for the supplements update. I've been nagging you about that for a while now. Took my list to WF and got all hooked up today.

Oh, I want to smother and scooch her, too! She's so yummy! I'm so glad you've become a dog person, Kris!

So happy that you're stepping off of the ever-speeding-up treadmill of self-improvement for a bit. I go through huge pendulum swings of betterment and slackerhood. I'm trying a new approach this year- slow and steady, hoping to achieve balance. I do worry so when you disappear, though. Maybe just a two sentence blog for the in between time, so we know you're okay? I know, I need to work on my fear and anxiety and eliminate the family trait of aniticipating the worst case scenario.

Callie, I'm so glad you're all better. And Kris, welcome home! I've been down and out with the stomach flu and the one year anniversary of my dad's passing. I will never forget how this community helped me through the roughest time of my life.
Kris, I hope you will share tales of your day shadowing Brian Clement.
Love and happy holidays to all.
Sandra

I love you so for admitting you haven't been working out. I've been cutting back on the workouts and I need to do better. I will climb that mountain with you. Are you going to Tree of Life? So curious. Love me some Arizona.

Oh, Callie...hospital again? Dammit! I want you home with hubby and dog! Hang in there, honey. Sending you all my love.

Boo me. I missed the convo. That's what I get for being such a night owl. I just checked the blog (which is my home page, along with the NY Times) and it's already 1:00am. What a cool idea, Kris. I'm sure everyone loved getting to chat with you. You are so inspiring. Reading your comments gave me a much needed little boost of love. It's almost a year since I lost my dad and I'm in a big black miserable funk. Thanks for shining some of your magical light.

Love you Debs! How I would LOVE to go back to your glorious state! xoxo.

Poor girl! I'm so sorry you've been sicky! Bless. I hope you're back home and getting back to normal now. Sending you so much love. Sandra

Callie, what's going on with you? I.V's? Gross mess? Oh, dear. I hope you're okay, love. Please check in and let me know.

Miss Kris, I'm loving you more than ever for fessing up about the dry dinner. Hilar. It looked gorgeous on the pretty white plate, though. I'm sure your in-laws adore you as much as we do.

OH, girl...I love this topic. It's so challenging to please the fam and stay true to your own way a of eating. I'm cooking for ten meat eaters and my big switcharoo is putting Earth Balance in the mashed potatoes instead of real butter. I might wimp out though, because I'm scared it won't taste right to them.

I definitely think you should give the in-laws a main event dish! Keep things as familiar as possible so they don't feel like they're missing out on anything. Gourmet magazine did an "ultimate vegetarian Thanksgiving feast" in their November issue. The main course (which I'm sure you can find on their website) is a gorgeous looking farro and mushroom pie.
As for me, I will be eating the side dishes and drinking champagne and wine. It's a holiday after all. Love to you and Brian and your families and furry friends. xo.

Re: Puppy tooth fairy?

sandrajoseph — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:41:50 -0000

Ooo, I love a doggie discussion! I have had dogs all my life but I never knew that their teeth fell out! Now that I think about it, I've only adopted dogs that were at least a year old. I would have panicked too! Glad she's just a normal teething baby. Oh. My. God. Those pictures! Could she be any cuter??? Those sweet little eyes looking up at the camera! Killing me.
I cannot feel my dogs even one baby carrot or it is pukesville. Sensitive tummies over here. They are healthy boys but one of them has some dry skin and dandruff! Anyone have a remedy that doesn't involve changing their food?

Re: Welcome Lola...

sandrajoseph — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:49:56 -0000

YAY!! A puppy! Congrats, Mama Kris and Papa Brian! I'm so happy for you. My two boys, Griffin and Murphy are the loves of my life (sorry to my hubby). There is nothing like the companionship of our fur-babies.
I love Cesar Milan. I used to watch his show all the time and I even read his book. It's clear that he deeply loves dogs, but I no longer agree with the techniques he uses. It has become quite controversial. Even Oprah has gone another way- the way of positive reinforcement. For me, the switch was akin to going from SAD eating to the crazy sexy lifestyle. Once you've made the change, you can't imagine going back. Ever heard of clicker training? Check out trainer Jeff Millman's website: http://www.watchandtrain.co... . You can watch some of his training videos online. The clicker thing is so cool and FUN for the pooches. We were lucky enough to work with Jeff when we were in Chicago last summer. He worked miracles with our (sometimes aggressive) Murphy.
Anyhoo- I'm wagging my tail with joy for your new baby!
Much love, Sandra

Re: YES WE DID!

Kris, my favorite thing you said on this post was "Where is the ceiling of personal potential or is there one?" We should all take this victory personally and apply its limitlessness to our own lives. We can get involved and truly make a difference while we are here for this brief blip on planet earth. I, for one, am more committed than ever to making my voice heard for equality for gays. Prop 8 is a horrific blight on this glorious moment in our nation's history. We have got to stand up for gay rights. I believe it is THE civil rights issue for our generation. We need to support organizations like the Human Rights Campaign and LAMBDA. Two of my best friends--two men--have been together for eighteen years. They live in California. Can you imagine waking up one morning and being told your marriage is no longer recognized. In the midst of our pride and celebrations, let's not forget that we still have a long way to go.

Debs, I've been having a visual virtual feast for the eyes as I surfed around your blog today! Such gorgeous yummy pictures. I want to eat the whole page! I have been adding three packets of wheat grass powder to my green juice every morning, and just as I'm starting to run low, I see my favorite word: SALE! So, sign me up and ship me some powder. How can I pay you? Is there a Pay Pal account? I can't remember how we did it last time. My address is:

That made me laugh and then get goose bumps and tear up. Thanks, Kris! Yes we can!

Kris and Brian, I LOVE YOU for putting your views out there and encouraging everyone not only to CARE about politics but to understand WHY they should care. It does trickle down to each and every one of us in oh so many areas of our lives. I am SO passionate about this, I have to check myself. Last night I decided to do an experiment. I flipped back and forth between MSNBC and Fox News. It's like we are on two different planets. I sometimes wish we could say screw it and split up. Let Palin and the religious right move to their side of the world and let the rest of us allow gays to marry, women to choose, and everyone to have free healthcare. I need a detox from all this...I can feel the acid flowing.

I like Rhonda's idea for a fifth leg that is pure FUN. If you decide to do it, I have a suggestion for your first item. Lube. There, I said it.

Scnewme, Queen of the Jers, I hope that made you smile. xoxoxo :)

Divine Ms. K,

Which part of the chair includes shoes? (I'm kidding!)
I loved that post you did on supplements a while back. We take your recommendations VERY seriously around here. I've been taking Women's One Daily by Daily Foods ever since that post. You may have moved on to a bigger, better multi since then, so I would hope to be able to buy the latest crazy sexy supplements in your groovy shop. I trust that you have done all the research that I'm too lazy to do, so that's why I want to find out what Miss Kris is putting in the pod. This could be like your very own O List! I'm so excited to learn about your favorite health-giving items! Maybe do a Miss Kris Pick of the month and tell us why you love something.
I agree that we need body moisturizer besides coconut oil for winter reptile skin, and in the summer we will need sunscreen. Let's think seasonal products...I know I'll be needing chapped lip stuff soon. I usually use Dr. Hauschka... but does it meet K.C. standards? If there's something in your shop, I will buy that from now on.
As for food, I am obsessed with kelp noodles right now and I cannot find them anywhere. I have ordered them online before but if you sold them, I would definitely order from you.
And, I'm just throwing this out there..I know it may not be possible but many sites are offering free shipping these days. I'm a huge fan of a free shipping offer! I add my voice to the prayers for crazy sexy abundance. I promise to be a frequent shopper! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My Rawversary: Thank You My Dear Friends!

Happy rawversary, beautiful Deb! What a lovely way to celebrate- by honoring all the good peeps who've helped you transition to this healthy rockin' new you! I loves ya, girl! You inspire me.

Re: Watch Oprah this Tuesday!

sandrajoseph — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:26:42 -0000

Brain, I am so glad you made that point. I was conflicted because of the extremely sympathetic farmer dudes on Oprah. I don't want to see anyone lose their livelihood because the changes forced on them are too abrupt and costly. I think it's important that this legislation provides for the needs of the farmers who will be forced to make these IMPORTANT changes. It made me feel better about it when Lisa Ling (love huh) said at the end of the show that the changes will be gradual and will have to happen by 2012. It helps even more to think of it in a larger context, as you pointed out. We need these changes, and if they can give tax credits to help with the energy crisis, they can certainly help our four legged friends.
Kris, thanks for this lively chat!

The story the NY Times writer told about the geese will stay with me forever.

Kris, you are always so centered and on point during your interviews. I'd love to hear if you have some kind of meditation/ritual/practice you do or prayer you pray just before that red light goes on. You are definitely tapped in. Care to share? I also think it's time for another post on supplements! I'm still using Women's One Daily by Daily Foods because you said long ago that it's the one you take. I almost bought the Women Over 40 one yesterday but I couldn't bring myself to do it! Still adjusting...xoxo.
