Bought Kris' bookViews: 158

Hey Jill,
I just wanted to let you know that I did purchase Kris’ book @ Borders this past weekend, and I highly recommend it, though when speaking to my physican he wasn’t 100% on the same page. I guess what works for some people don’t necessarily work for others or at least that is what their Docs think. Did you receive my card vis us mail? I was wondering when you will be speaking with Kris or do you know her schedule of speaking events, etc? I would be very interested if she was having a book signing in St. Louis. If you know of anything coming up, will you please let me know? Thanks. I hope you are feeling well.
Patty:)

Hey Patty – I am so glad you got the book. I don’t actually have it but I have looked at it and I saw her speak here in Denver. I haven’t heard from them in awhile, hoping we are still on with the interview.

Thanks so much for the card! You are so sweet. I keep meaning to write a note back. Actually maybe I did. I am loosing my mind and can’t remember. haa haaa. You never know you might get something in the mail soon. Either that or maybe I was just daydreaming about what I would write and never wrote it.

Hope you had a great Christmas. It is so snowy here. My holidays were pretty mellow since I decided not to travel.

Lots of Love!
Jill

Patty – How are you? Been thinking about you, hope you are doing well.

Hello from AZ. It has been a while for both of us. Let us know what is going on with you and yours.

Hug Sherri
