Crazy Sexy Cancer

In February 2003, Kris Carr was diagnosed with a rare cancer called epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, a form of Sarcoma. Instead of falling into a deep dark depression, Kris grabbed her camera and chronicled her journey of how a Bud girl became a "canser cowgirl."  I'm going to admit to a little bias. Kris and I have something in common. She and I both have sarcoma. When I stumbled upon her story, I was in a deep dark depression and her story filled me with hope. Kris made some very big nutritional changes, added a sprinkling of the spiritual and developed an  attitude, baby! Now, 7 years later, she is living with though not cured of, stage 4 sarcoma. 

Cancer is a word that fills people with fear. Beating cancer means not only beating the disease but beating the fear and that is what I got most from this book. How do I take my power back from a disease that is all encompassing?- By finding what I can control and learning to accept what I can't. By all intents and purposes, a scientific study shows that people with a positive attitude towards their battle with cancer do better than those who don't. Kris's DVD and complementary book, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, illustrate this to a tee. This book will appeal to mainly to younger women in the 20-40's age range as I'm not sure many women over 60 would relate to being called a cancer babe but hey, to each his own. We all look for inspiration and hope in trying times. Kris's story certainly is that inspiration. To purchase the DVD, click the link below or visit my STORE

Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips (Crazy Sexy)

"There is no frigate like a book,"  penned Emily Dickinson long before the first silent film, The Great Train Robbery, was produced. With the advent of the first film, two classes of people were born:  People who prefer to read and people who prefer to skip the book and see the movie. There of those of us who do both of course, but there is always an inclination towards one or the other. I come from a long line of readers. My mother taught English to high school students. My aunt majored in English. I majored in English. My brother teaches English. My sister majored in English and as can be expected, my own children prefer to skip the book and see the movie. When I was a child, my mother read to me often until I learned to read and then I was never without a book. My brother, though he teaches English, loves film. In this time of economic uncertainty, I decided to open web businesses that cater to those who love the art of the pen and those that love the art of film. My DVD and Book stores offer all the latest and greatest and all the oldie moldies. I welcome every and all book or movie recommendations, guest critiques and musings.
