Today on talking about it Tuesday I want to share a favorite website and enlightened spirit....Her name is Kris Carr! I discovered Kris Carr several years ago and fell in love with her passion for life and her quest to create a more meaningful and deliberate life in the face of a terminal illness. Her personal journey is such a testament to the hero's journey. Here's a little back story directly from her website-"On Valentine’s Day in 2003, I was diagnosed with a very rare and incurable (yet thankfully slow-growing) stage 4 cancer. This whiskey tango foxtrot moment (that’s military lingo for WTF?!) sparked a deep desire in me to stop holding back and start living like I mean it! I wanted to feel better, love harder and enjoy my life more fully. So I hit the road on a deep healing pilgrimage and have never looked back. Nearly ten years later, my life is truly, madly magical–even with cancer. If I can pull that off, just imagine what YOU can do!"
How can one not be inspired after that short excerpt? She's in the wild unknown of an incurable illness, but raging with passion for helping others to be inspired and well. Her life's work is a gorgeous tribute to truly embracing the unknown and running with it. I hope you check out her website. She's got some amazing cookbooks and other NY Times best selling books available. Checkout her site:
