Carin' Karen






From mild mannered mom, 



to cancer fighting superhero, my friend Karen was a joy to be with last week when she escorted me to my chemo treatment.  She left her house in Palm Springs at 5:00 am and spent the day with me at the hospital.  I nicknamed her "Carin' Karen, the Chemo Heroin."

Karen and I worked together at Disney, just briefly, but she is another example of the incredible people who step forward and offer to help.  If anyone doubts that there is truly a great energy in the human spirit that exists all around us . . . go get sick.  

At the end of the day, Karen wrote some beautiful thoughts in my journal that I will be able to look back and read for years to come, along with all the other entries, reminding me that 2008 is a year to remember.

It was but my humble pleasure to be there with you on Thursday. I would have driven even further, if needed. I think you know that it meant even more to me. Everyone needs "support" every now and then. I am glad I could be there for you - and boy am I glad you were there for me....
