Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.

Crazy Sexy Living

Kris Carr is my new hero.

If you're not familiar with Kris Carr, allow me to share... At the age of 31, she was diagnosed with a rare cancer (I don't think there's enough room in the post to spell out what she has!) after lesions were found on her liver and lungs. The cancer was in stage four. There is no stage five. If there was one good thing about it, her cancer was a slow moving one. Long story short, she took her life into her own hands and empowered herself to make choices that would lead to a healthy and happy life. Eight years later, she still technically has cancer but she has essentially stopped it dead in its tracks because of the lifestyle choices she has made. Here is a preview of her movie that was on TLC some time ago...


Crazy Sexy Kris is the embodiment of empowered living! And one of the things I love most in her message is that the grocery store is her pharmacy. But for Kris Carr, it's not just about food-- it's about attitude; making choices to live a happy, positive, compassionate life.

I recently picked up her latest book Crazy Sexy Diet (thanks for the recommendation Jyoti!) and am devouring it as we speak. I have also added her blog, "Crazy Sexy Life," to my blog list (upper right hand corner). Check out some of the articles from her blog and I guarantee you will adore her and feel like grabbing life by the horns (or by the shovel in our case today!). Have a great day!
