Of the 2500 bloggers at BlogHer 2010 in New York City, the one who I most wanted to interview was Anissa Mayhew!
And we were so blessed to catch a few minutes on camera with Anissa and her husband Peter.
Janice and I have always been huge Anissa fans… we’ve laughed along with her on Twitter and she was a fantastic contributor and helped behind the scenes at 5 Minutes for Special Needs.
Many of you may know Anissa’s story and have been inspired by her and her family. They are an amazing example of how to laugh and pull together through difficult times.
Both Anissa and Peter are so funny and we loved talking to them and listening to them make everyone laugh during their BlogHer panel.
Listen now as Anissa shares with us how laughter gets them through…
Make sure you visit Anissa on her blog FreeAnissa and laugh with her on Twitter @AnissaMayhew.
Thanks to Kmart Design we shot and will be publishing a ton of video posts in the coming weeks, so make sure you watch our feed.
So Tell Us…
Have you followed along Anissa’s journey? How has she inspired you?

So amazing to see Anissa and Peter on video! You are absolutely right – they define inspiration – Anissa always has for me ever since I met her at BlogHer last year. Thank you for this interview – fantastic job!

Highlight of BlogHer was hugging Anissa!
Susan says
I bet hugging Anissa was the highlight for so many!

My one aim at BlogHer 10 was to get to chat to Anissa again, when I did I felt like if I did nothing more at BlogHer I would be fine. I have always loved Anissa since I started blogging and she will always have a special place in my heart.
Susan says
That’s exactly how I felt!
meghan says
Awesome interview.
Anissa totally rocks as does her hubby.
Nolie says
What a wonderful inspiration Anissa and her family are.
Jennifer-Eighty MPH Mom says
Wonderful interview! I am glad I was able to connect with Anissa here, as I didn’t see her at BlogHer. Thank you Anissa for being part of our lives. You look WONDERFUL. You are in my continued thoughts and prayers.
Susan says
That’s great that you’ve been able to connect with Anissa locally. BlogHer was such madness and everyone wanting to talk to her. I can’t imagine how exhausting it must have been for her.

I found the reasons people have always loved Niss was due to “her”, not just her background, not just her amazing bewbs, and not just her writing. There is a power she emits and always have, that is something a stroke can not take away. She is rocky, but with a higher IQ, better sense of humor, bigger bewbs and flatter butt. As always she is astounding and brilliant.
Susan says
Exactly. She is such a powerful woman in all the good ways.
Kasey says
Anissa is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful interview! Prayers for the entire Mayhew family!
Susan says
Thank you for watching and showing your support for this amazing family.

Mrs. Cox says

Susan says
Yes, I think it’s my favorite too. We’re so happy to be able to share a few minutes of Anissa and Peter on video with everyone.
