Hiya Gorgeous!
Between working, taking care of your loved ones, grocery shopping, cleaning your home and finding some time to take care of yourself, life can get busy. It’s easy to fall into overwhelm and guilt when our lists get long and we feel like we aren’t doing enough. That’s why I want to stop and take a moment to praise you for all your recent efforts. Why? Because you deserve it!
This love letter is a thank you message from me to you.
Keep it handy and read it whenever you need some appreciation. It’s easy to forget all that we already do, especially when our culture is obsessed with forward progress. So soak in this tribute to spectacular you. Allow it to be a restorative soul vitamin whenever you need a boost.

Dear Kris, It is I who needs to thank you, and thank you for so much. After finding I have breast cancer again, yep round two, I began my endless quest of when, hows, whys and all of the other things that drove me crazy. Purchasing every book I could get my hands on and staying up all hours of the night trying to understand it all. It wasn’t until I purchased Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor that I was able to understand I will never understand it all, thru your books you made me see that I needed to stop trying to figure what happened and begin to see that yes, I’m here with cancer, and I have to move forward. Kris, can you believe that because of lack of insurance and possibly loosing everything we ever worked for, I thought about taking my own life. Cancer sucked me into the bottom of its dark hole. You saved me from this horrible dark hole, you made me laugh, gave me hope, strength, courage and so much more. I’m probably your mom’s age and I’ve learned so much from all of your books, (yep-bought all that I could get my hands on) and I eat nothing but organic, healthy food and juices. Your no bull, honest approach has made me pull up my big girl panties and kickass boots and fight this, again. I could never adequately express just how grateful I am to you for all that you’ve given me. On Monday, 1/5/15 I am scheduled for a double mastectomy followed by treatment. I will have my daughter, who thinks and eats, does yoga, who is a free loving spirit just as you are, there next to me, my son and my husband and of course, you. You’ve given me the strength to face the world a changed woman, not being ashamed of my battle scars and the courage to continue to defeat the poison within. I had hoped that my daughter and I could attend your show in NY, looks like we’re going to have to take a raincheck. Kris, you’ve given me what others could not, I can never thank you enough. I have placed all of your books in a special place as a reminder of how beautiful you and they are and how you saved my life. Stay sweet and beautiful, don’t let society change or taint you, YOU’RE PERFECT JUST THE WAY YOU ARE! God bless, wishing you all of the wonderful things in life, wish me luck and thank you for being an amazing girlfriend even though I’m old enough to be your mom! With much love, Rose.
Dear Rose, you brought happy tears to my eyes. I so appreciate your response and I will be right by your side–always. Good luck and keep kicking ass hot stuff! I love you Rose. xo kc

Thanks so much Kris! I don’t take much time to even think about what I need these days. I am going to work on that in the coming year. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on my birthday, five years ago, and my husband of over 30 years took a long walk and never came back! I am now a single parent of an amazing special needs son, who is homebound. I live on a very fixed income of SSI and SI, have just lost our home of 26 years to foreclosure, and lost our car two years ago. Don’t know where we will find appropriate housing, but I am working very hard to put it all out there to the Universe and have confidence that it will show me the way! You have given me so much support, love, guidance and hope! I found you right after my diagnosis, and I have held on tight! You are just the most amazing woman, and survivor. I am going to work harder this year to eat even better. I eat mostly fruit and veggies, but still eat organic chicken and turkey on occasion. I will also try harder to take better care of my emotional health. With your guidance and support, I think I can make some good progress!! Fear of the cancer coming back is a big one for me. I need to dig into my spiritual self this year: more journaling, more meditation, more cleansing breaths!! Thanks for all you do for all of us! You have helped me with every single step of this journey! Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year!
Dear Chris,
Thanks! I care for my mom, 92, and while as a Buddhist, not looking for thanks, it was great to see your note just as I was leaving the computer to go clean my mom’s bum – it IS a lovely blessing to be appreciated!
Best wishes for the new year & may all beings be happy and at ease!
xoxo Susan
Amen to that and thank you! Love your e.mails, keep well and keep them coming. x
Thank you so much for this! It’s so important to remember to be present even when it comes to acknowledging all we do each and every moment for others and ourselves. Self love is a key step to a fulfilled life…so thank you Kris for reminding me to do that!
Happy New Year!
Dear Kris,
Thank you for all your love, light and inspiration. You make me laugh! And we all know that laughter is the best medicine! Your bravery as you go through your journey living with Cancer is commendable. Your strength and your ability to turn lemons into lemonade (and green juice!) is spectacular! Keep on Keepin’ on, we love you!

Kris, I have been juicing for 8 months and I love it. I started after watching “Fat Sick and Nearly Dead” and then diagnosed with melanoma…i started reading your blog. I am inspired. I appreciate all of your good thoughts and am trying to do the same with the people I know. Much health and happiness to you and your extended family in 2015:) Barnaby
