Adversity Is Just Change

A remarkable and inspiring message from Aimee Mullins (a Paralympian/model/actress with both her lower legs amputated) about not just overcoming adversity but in fact learning to embrace it and lean into it for the gift that it is.

Eloquent, graceful and lovely Aimee recounts her childhood doctor "delcaring" her strength and power and how important it is to empower and bolster the human spirit... to recognize the unique power that every one of us is gifted with and drawing it out. To recognize that we as human beings have a remarkable ability to adapt and that "Adversity is just change that we haven't adapted ourselves to yet."

(I wrote about how Change Is Good here as well.)

You will be forever changed after watching.  #feeltheshift

The Power of Vulnerability

By now you know I adore TED Talks! I find so much inspiration there ~ This video was sent to me by a dear friend of mine, and since I spread "Awesome" - you will see it here. It takes about 1/2 hour to watch but so completely worth it. Brene Brown is a brilliant researcher who has studied human connection and she's hillarious too! Carve out a little time to watch this jewel!
