Wow, did I learn a powerful lesson a few years ago on an elevator ride with a stranger in New York City. Sometimes the lessons that really sick with us come from the most unexpected experiences. This quick video clip is the story of that ride, what I learned, and why I haven’t thought about the statement, “Have a nice day,” the same way since. It might make your day, it sure did mine! Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below. I love hearing from you! 🙂 ~ Kristi http://youtu.be/ttCgVdxoow0

Creating Simple Sacred Spaces
Having a quiet, peaceful spot to sit and read, meditate, have a mindful conversation, or just re-connect with your heart is an important element of self care and empowering your life. At my dreamy new little urban farm in L.A., I’ve created a healing garden, meditation area, and a cozy seating spot under a giant ash tree in corner of the property. The spot under the Ash tree is a place where I go just to sit and dream, be creative, and contemplate. It’s also the perfect spot to have a cold drink and enriching conversation.

Why Being a Little Badass Can be Blissful
I can remember a time in my life when fear about what others would think of me would keep me from expressing my opinion or standing up for myself, even in situations where I should have been putting up a serious fight for what I believed was right. I never had any problem coming out swinging in defense of others, but when it came to defending myself, that was another story. The same fears held me back when it came to busting out of my comfort zone or breaking rules (even the ones that just ask to be broken). A few years ago, I finally drew a line and decided to…
