Lifting The World With Best Selling Author of Middle Place, Kelly Corrigan

I just caught an interview with Best selling author, Kelly Corrigan, on the Today Show this morning. Immediately I thought to myself, “I want a friend like her in my life.” She’s a smart, savvy, peaceful woman who has clearly settled into her place in this world and inspiring the rest of us to do the same. Listen to her speak and you’ll see what I mean.

A few years ago, Kelly wrote The Middle Place, a book describing both she and her father’s journeys with cancer, how it changed her, what a person experiences that is unlike “normal” life, and her relationship with her father through it all.

Now she’s come out with her new book inspired by her growing daughters calledLift, a metaphor for parenting. She says, “Inside turbulence there is a column of hot air that will lift you up.”

She has taken time to write down the stories of her time with her young girls so that they can remember and reconnect with the things she knows about them – things they may not even know about themselves. Here’s a little clip of her sharing her book and her children with us:
