KRISTINA'S WEEKLY EMAIL OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAYS & VIDEOS TO KEEP YOU CONNECTED TO YOURSELF ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE |
Greetings!
It's been both fun and healing to walk around and see them as a canvas, or perhaps frame, and continue to extend the creativity I've already put into the book itself. I always admire and thank the flowers for their "service," and feel gratitude for such beautiful gifts from the Universe that delight our senses and remind us of the good in the world, and ourselves, and what can bloom in us each year. What is blossoming within you in 2022?
For me, now that my new baby is out in the world, I am working with the issues that promotion brings up for me (hmmm I smell a PGG about it at some point....!) and hope to blossom a little more there. Until then, I'll let others share their thoughts about it: Watch this video where one of my readers (and longtime clients) talks about how she works with and understands Say It To Make It (SITMI), noting that it "may be small, but it's mighty."
Right now I'm just allowing the book to grow organically and attract the audience who seeks it, but will continue to remind you of its presence as a good mama should. (And feel free to contact me with any ideas, suggestions or connections!)
Lastly, THANK YOU for being here and for being part of my community! If any of my essays, coaching, talks, videos or posts have helped you along your career/life journey, here are a few ways you can show your appreciation and support my work:
And as always, please feel free to contact me with any comments about anything.
Big Hug <3
Kristina

What are people saying about Kristina's new book
I LOVE this book and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a little boost of positivity in their lives. The book is outlined in such a creative way so that it can be accessible and leveraged by all - certainly not a "one sized fits all" approach.
~ Margaret H.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Originally published on April 13, 2010
Spring has finally sprung! Everywhere you look, flowers and trees are blooming up a storm — the colorful symphony of tulips, lilacs, daffodils, cherry blossoms and dogwoods are waking up the city from its cold, long winter slumber, filling us with gorgeous eye candy and reminding us of the new possibilities that exist within and around us.
It’s such a fleeting moment; it only seems to last a week or two, so it’s now or never to take notice and appreciate the beauty and magic while it exists. This is a perfect time to pay attention to the prettiest new little things around you, and to celebrate these glorious gifts of Nature.
Beauty is one of the greatest pleasures in life, and a flower is one of the simplest and most tangible expressions of it. If you can’t soak up all that is staring you in the face right now, then how will you recognize and appreciate the more subtle beauty within and around you throughout the year?
In New York City we tend to rush from here to there, with our noses in our smartphones or blinders on as we think about whatever, when what we really need to do in those transitional times throughout the day is stop and smell the roses, literally and figuratively. Slowing down, taking a few deep breaths and becoming aware of your surroundings, especially when they are so lovely, is a great cure for stress and anxiety. I’m sure that if you just try it, like Mikey, you’ll like it!
Feeling a little curmudgeonly with all this zip-a-dee-doo-dah talk? Try spending some time enjoying the season and give me a buzz, I’ll help get things goin’ your way again…

This colorful guide’s straightforward, actionable advice and 30 bold affirmations can help you to shift your mindset and feel better about yourself no matter who you are or what your circumstances.
Keep this handy, pocket-size book at your bedside or in your backpack so you’re never far from information about:
- What affirmations are and why they are important
- How and when to use affirmations so they are most effective
- 10 ways to use the specific affirmations in the book.
I love that you come up so many ways to incorporate these into our daily lives, getting it into our soul, into the very essence of what I can tell myself every single day... I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this out in the Universe because I just think that we need more of this, I need more of this! ~Cherise R.
Kristina as made a book that I find inspirational and so user friendly! The intro pages guided me so lovingly to see how the affirmations can be done and I love how she speaks of having “anchor times” in my day. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to feel more centered, fulfilled, and happy! ~ Alex I.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM KRISTINA'S COACHING:
Kristina’s coaching expertise is phenomenal — all-encompassing, inclusive of the mind, body & spirit, nonjudgmental, insightful and deeply involved in providing solutions and tools to be a better version of yourself. ~ Audrey N.
Kristina patiently helped me to discover and embrace my true north. I was stuck in a past identity that blocked me from the person I wanted to become. ~ Pascal D.
Since I last spoke with you, I've had some pretty dramatic changes - New Job, a Big Move, Healthy Dating Relationship. It's been pretty awesome. Emotionally, I've done a 180, and my life is certainly a reflection of that. My last session with you spurred a lot of wonderful life changes." ~ Palanda B.
I can honestly say that speaking to you was one of the most important events in my life. It is almost unbelievable how a 2-hour conversation can have that effect. ~ Bozhanka V.
Thank you again for opening my eyes to a new future! ~ K. Handa
