Kris Carr - Married, Husband, Cancer, Survivor

Wow. Kris Carr is definitely generating a lot of Internet traffic, and the fact that I've written about her here is bringing some of that traffic my way. The above items are some of the things people have been searching, and that have led them here.

So, quickly, what can I tell you about Kris Carr? Well, I met her in Denver at her book signing back in September. She was infectious with her spirit. She was inspiring with her attitude, and she was humbled by the affect she is currently having on the world.

I spoke with her for all of 5 minutes total. A little bit during my time getting her all important John Hancock, and a little after the event by waiting around for the hopes of getting a picture with her. You can scroll down to September 8, 2007 to see them, and read more about that night.

What I know most is that her mark on the world is just starting, and it is definitely worth your while to check out her blog, and her website, and her movie on TLC tonight!!!! AND, don't forget to buy her book. It's more than a tool for dealing with cancer. It can help you deal with life.
