Furisode kimono (translates as "swinging sleeves"), the most formal kimono for unmarried women.
For each one of us, there’s a star to discover, and a being within ourselves to bring to life.

Reflections:
1. Remember a time when your intuition told you something significant was happening, where all of a sudden you felt a deep emotional connection and knew it was time to pay attention in a different way.

What a lovely story about you feeling the love, power, and memories through holding a piece of material that brought those memories flooding back like a river, but seeming so real at the time, as if it was happening in the now.
Your story brought back my recent memories, of my two neices that were killed in a car accident, Dec. 11,09, just hours after their Father pasted on of a long term illness. My Sister, Bebe’s, whole family wiped out in one day. When the police showed up with Dixi’s cell phone, they asked Bebe if this was her Daughter’s phone and proceeded to inform her that Dixi & Kristen had been killed at 5:00 pm that evening in a head on accident only 5 miles from her home. They were coming home to help make arrangements for their Father’s funeral. I held my Sister as we cried through our memories. I ended up staying three weeks with my Sister, to make funeral arrangement, and sort through the girls belongs. Bebe gave me a pair of Dixi’s clogs, that I now wear with love and precious memories, of a life that gave so much to others.
Thank you for your sharing. Your stories always bring healings to my heart.
Hi sweet woman,
Thank you for your touching letter…”a whole family wiped out in one day.” What commitment and courage it takes to face the truth and heal.
I am so happy that my sharing opens your heart. Our memories of those we love are so precious.
With love and gratitude,
Kris
Hi Kris,
You are a great story-teller, and I love listening to your podcasts. They are a nice break in the day for pause and reflection of things that are important in life.
1) Seeing the kimono on your website made me catch my breath. Before anything else, a picture of my Grandpa passed in front of me, big, kind-hearted, big loud laugh, and a tender soul who always brought his “favorite granddaughter” (and Only granddaughter.. something from overseas in his travels while in the Navy. My favorite was the beautiful silk kimono he got for me from Hong Kong when I was about 8. It was red, with green and white flowers, and was soft and cool to the touch. I felt like a princess when I wrapped myself in it. It dragged on the ground at first, but by the time I was grown, it was mid-calf.
2) It was my comfort robe when all was bad around me. It reminded me of Grandpa and all that was good in the world. All the good memories we had together would help me.
3) I was diagnosed with cancer last year, and am not quite a 1-yr. survivor yet. I would go the extra mile for my family, of course!…But also all the friends that have helped me this last year and have gone the extra mile for me!
Hi Kris, just enjoyed listening to The Falling Kimono and was touched by the story, and even more touched by hearing your voice again. I have such fond memories of the many times I was in your presence and hold you in the highest regard. You are a visioary, a star, wise beyond my knowing. And you have always seemed to hold me in high regard, beyond that which I have ever held myself. It is if you can see the real essential me without the messy surface that occupies my attention. It’s been some tiime since I reconnected with the work that you do, and I’ve been taking some interesting side trips like alcoholism and depression. I’ve now stopped drinking and am beginning to rediscover myself and the world, the many blessings I live with. Nice hearing your voice again. Tom
Hi Kris,
Thank you for this exercise. Here is my response.
1) Ever since I was a young child I dreamed about wolves. I really knew nothing about them. I soon realized that NO ONE “knew” wolves, understood them at a deep social and developmental level. I knew I could obtain a wolf and learn. I knew it would work, no matter what others said. I got LUPEY.
2) This magnificent beast was my companion for eleven plus years, living with me in England, New York, Oregon, and Nova Scotia. He taught me how to observe, how to relate to a creature different from me but one that was deeply social. He taught me that wolves are delicate and sophisticated social beings. I truly learned as much about behavior from Lupey as I have from any other living creature, humans included. He became a treasure in my life. He shared with me. I loved him.
3) So, I will answer your third question by saying I am now compelled to go “the extra mile” to share Lupey’s life with others. Its the book. Its a need to honor him, and thereby honor something deep within me. Something he gave me. But its a book that goes beyond “a wolf”. Its a relationship, perhaps the most profound I have ever had in my own life. Its a relationship that taught me the joys of mystery in our universe. Yes, …..its Lupey. I WILL honor him.

Thank you for sharing the evening of “Knowing How To Know What You Want.” via You Tube. I know I expressed the desire to share in the evening events via the web because I live too far to attend on a regular basis. I am impressed with the quick response I received.
I also want to add that your clarity and eloquence in which you deliver your message via video makes me think I am right there in the classroom.
Hello Kris
Greetings from Colorado. Been a while since we have connected – - last time was way back in the 80’s & early 90’s.
I have been watching your Podcasts and as usual, they are excellent. One comment on the sound. Picking up a lot of room noise so your voice is echo-ing and the result is distracting from your message. Sounds like you are talking thru a can. Suggest connecting with your podcast crew and see if somehow they can remove the echo.

Kris,
While attending PES in June, I was deeply nourished by an “aligned” quality of voice and being and purpose in your delivery of the course. I tried to thank you for that which I could not exactly articulate. Thanks so much for this Podcast where you reach out and speak to make clear the incomprehensible, the mysterious, the love. With love and thanks to you.
Ruth
I so enjoyed listening to the Podcast. I love to hear the emotion and love in Kris’s voice. The message gives me hope that I will too smile again as she does.

Symbolically this is a time of year when people look back and notice and celebrate what they have created and look forward to what they want to create in this new year of their lives, regeneration and refocus.
Come explore with me the difference that makes the difference in turning Resolutions into Reality.
Kris, Your video podcast was terrific. What a great message message for the start of 2010. Your delivery was spot on! Look forward to the next one.
Cheers!
Profound blessings and peace in the New Year to you, your family, and the WINGS family!
As usual I find so much continued inspiration in your blogs. They truly help me stay on track.
I am estatic for the new beginnings that 2010 and the years to come has to offer. I am incredibley grateful and blessed with a wonderful husband, 2 daughters, other family members, and many friends, old and new.
As far as resolutions, goals and dreams for 2010, I have so many that will last me the rest of my life that I am excited to fine tune these during the LIFEWORKS seminar this month! My travel dream is Bhutan this year. I am so excited. Living in service, being an advocate for WINGS Seminars, and discovering my potential as a financial contributor are all apart of my 2010 goals.
With heartfelt thanks for the light that radiates from you to help encourage me in my journey.
What an excellent reminder! My first dream is training and running the Portland marathon this year, it will be my first! Second, to get my dog certified to do visitations with her up at Dornbecher children’s hospital. Third, live my contract, with intention, everyday: I am luminous and wise, connected and open! Thank you, Kris!
At the start of a new year and new Decade, what is resonating with me is the idea that, sometimes, before we can change the thought, we must first change the action. (i know you have said this before as well.) Tonight, i attended a ‘Parenting Through Transition’ class, so that i can, very soon, officially be divorced. The piece i took from the evening was from a “Cycle of Healing” diagram… the facilitator described depression as a “spell,” and that we must “break the spell” by doing the opposite of what depression tells us to do. I may not always feel confident to move from my place of self-doubt or fear, but i am going to start ACTING like i do, and trusting that my mind will follow. I sure hope it does. This is my resolution for the new year– to move my dancing feet, to follow them to my bliss.
Thank you, Kris, for being a constant source of Inspiration. Happy blessed New Year.
My dreams for 2010 are for Wings to continue to grow & expand, that we have greater name recognition locally and nationally! And I love Kris’ idea of people calling in and PES and other seminars being full and that we are booking out into the next month and beyond.
I also hold that dream for teams, that assist teams are full and that I’m booking people onto assist teams months in advance.
That Kris is on a nationally televised talk show talking about her books and Wings!
Boy, 2010 is a turning point in may ways for me! I have had the best year ever working at Wings…and I thought it couldn’t get better…it has! I turned 60 and I have just received a 2010 cell phone.
My first dream for 2010 is to inspire and support positive change creating an abundant, loving world community.
My second dream is step into leadership at Wings, to teach more, take more risks and share myself more fully.
My third dream is create more moments of community with my family, my friends, my Boise community and Wings community…embracing our diversity, our spirit and our playfulness.
My fourth dream Kris has expressed, people calling in to register for PES “this month” and having to register for “next month”. I think we can do this…
My fifth dream is to have more than enough snow/rain this season to create high levels of water so rafting is AWESOME!
2010! Wow. This is the year of my ten year anniversary with Wings! Everyday since my first day at Wings I have had the opportunity to see the connections within our community and how those connections support the people involved. So my first dream for 2010 is for Wings to continue to thrive, grow, and expand our positive impact on the world.
Secondly, I dream of moments of quiet reflection and creative pursuits. Those are some of my favorite moments and I want to create more of them!
Third, I dream of being at peace with myself right now while still leaning into all the areas I want to grow into! Becoming an extraordinary facilitator and inspired leader would be a couple of those areas!
Fourth, I want to make ordinary moments extraordinary. Fresh flowers at the dinner table, special notes left on pillows, cards sent through snail mail for no reason other than to tell someone special I love them. You get the drift!
Kris… you’re wonderful and my last 2010 wish is for you! May all of your dreams for 2010 come true and may you enjoy every moment as they do. Thank you for all you do for your staff and the world.
Oh, I have so many dreams for 2010! First is to fulfill our vision…to inspire and support positive change creating and abundant, loving and respectful world community. Second to complete my second book, “Little Book for a Big Life” and have it published. Third is that we are doing PES in Sacramento and Seattle successfully more often. Fourth is that when people call to sign up for PES we are saying, “Oh that PES is already full, how about the next month!” Basically, that we are changing the world one heart at a time.
Outstanding site, helpful info. Thank you with regard to this great article – I will be certain to look through your site much more often.
Thank you Melvina for your kind remarks. This is being a wonderful way to interact with people I have never met and share my life experiences. Let me know when you drop by again!
