Kris Loves Donuts

I'm still here, just trying new things. Today I started a 10-day Self Care Boost to help me think positive thoughts.

Dee's grandmother started World's Best Donuts in 1969. Dee began working there when she was a girl and took over the business with her sister in 2001.Today the small shop is a tourist destination sitting near the shore of Lake Superior.You can visit the local landmark May through October for donuts made from scratch every day.

On November 11th I started a weekday morning gratitude practice in the private Facebook group In A Year. Here is my first update.I experienced an incredible insight into gratitude, how it feels and how it brings you into the now, and in the now is where miracles happen. The morning after Thanksgiving I felt something I couldn't describe. I found the right word yesterday - contentment.Here are my observations about gratitude. If you are interested, please join me!Facebook group - In A Year

The Holy Donut is my favorite donut shop and I got to talk to founder Leigh Kellis! Yes, you can hear me totally fan girl in this short episode.You can find Leigh on Instagram @womenwhoneeddonuts. She has a book by the same name and new projects in the works!

I'm interviewing donut shop owners and beginning a daily gratitude practice in a private Facebook group.Join me and let's see what incredible shifts we can create in our lives.

Welcome to the first interview in my Donut Shop Series! In this episode I talk with Bradley Taylor of The Donut Trap in the Twin Cities, MN. In 2013 Bradley began making donuts for himself and friends. The enterprise quickly became a business. He shares the whole story with me as well as the story behind the name of his first shop, SssDude-Nutz. Of course I had to know his favorite donut shops, what's next for The Donut Trap, and the secret about his cake donuts. You can find Bradley and his donuts on Instagram and Facebook.

I shared a story in a previous podcast called From Contrast to Donuts where I said a powerful decision I made attracted the perfect job opportunity for me. Since then I realized it may have seemed that that decision was what attracted the job, but really it was the shift in the story I was telling myself.When we make a decision that we can feel in our bodies, and it feels like no one can possibly talk us out of it, we have actually changed the story we've been telling ourselves about that decision.What do you want to change in your life? And what is the story you are telling yourself about it now?In this episode I announce a new year-long project I'm planning. I am committing to a year-long morning practice of deep gratitude and intention. Join me to see how our lives can change in one year by practicing basic Law of Attraction principles.

Here is another piece of the Why-Kris-Isn't-a-Lawyer story. I was guided away from practicing law more than once. Have you ever felt like you've been set up? Have you ever felt like no matter what you do, things just won't go your way? I had an interview for an entry position with the San Diego Public Defender's office which was canceled because of a background check. They uncovered an absurd charge against me. I was set up. I was set up to be a mother, a stay-at-home-mom. My donut story showed me that and then I realized this was the first time. 

This came out during a Facebook Live today. A passage from Joseph Murphy's Your Right to be Rich struck a chord with me and as I share with my audience how the words affected me, I seem to get worked up. I have been telling myself I don't have a business because what I do doesn't look like what everyone is doing.This is me trying to get through to myself and everyone else who continues to let negativity seep into our thoughts. (Nasty language warning.)

Trust your intuition. It's always there.This is a little story from early 2020, the last time my husband and I went out before everything closed. I wanted, and needed, a good night, a nice dinner with all the things - appetizer, wine, dessert. We got a great table, and then something threatened my night. I went within to figure out how to save it, and it worked.

Learn more about listening to your intuition with Psychic Medium Samantha Fey.Samantha is an intuitive, teacher, writer, podcaster and Reiki Master who's passionate about teaching people how to awaken and embrace their own intuitive abilities. In this interview, Samantha shares her life experience with Intuition. I believe the world will be a better place when women learn how to trust their intuition instead of the "should"s and "supposed to"s of our patriarchal society.Thank you, Samantha!

There is strength in a powerful decision. Here is another story from the Green Line, the light rail that travels between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul. After an unsettling early morning ride to work I made a powerful decision and the Universe provided the details. 

Deb Bowen shares her experience with Divine Guidance. Deb hosts the podcast Psychic Teachers with Samantha Fey.  For 11 years Deb and Samantha have helped their audience "embrace their inner psychic." I found their podcast after I found my notebook and it was just what I needed. If you wonder how to recognize guidance, how to receive guidance, or how to request guidance, you must listen to this interview.Thank you, Deb!

Have you ever had something happen that amazes and puzzles and confuses and delights you all at the same time, and it's impossible to explain to someone else? This is a weird, fun story that happened early one morning on my way to work. This is one of my Holy Shit stories from the Green Line that I'm still trying to figure out.

In this second episode, I let you in on how I was able to hear and then follow the divine message that sparked my donut story. Even though I wasn't into the woo, wasn't meditating, wasn't seeking divine guidance, and was basically clueless about how to manifest my dream business, I was able to receive that message. And I was able to follow that message. This is how.

Just when I thought I was living in a hostile world, the Universe took me on a crazy wonderful ride! This is my story of discovering the Woo side of life.  

Welcome to my podcast! I'll share my donut story and talk to others about their experiences with guidance and how it influences their spiritual businesses.
