Athlete Aimee Mullins
“Born without fibulae in both legs, Aimee’s medical prognosis was discouraging; she was told she would never walk, and would likely spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. The decision paid off. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside “able-bodies” kids.”
Shout out to the amazing Paul Simon…just because all past greats need some love from time to time. :)

Brilliant.
I recently watched this TED talk and I have only one word for it: Brilliant. It touches on so many current issues in such a smart, non-forced way, that you barely see it coming. It proves the utter brilliance of an open mind, and shows two worlds - Science and Dance - marrying in a perfect and beautiful union.
I see now that all creatures have perfect enlightenment — but they do not know it.

Create Jobs for USA
Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - the American Dream. These powerful words are the foundation of which America is built, however lately I’ve been finding it hard to cultivate the patriotism to which I’m sure many Americans share the same sentiment. Every morning I tune into CNN and I’m reminded of the crumbling U.S. and world economy. I feel so lucky to have a job, and be in a sold financial position, but I deeply feel for those who are not. Due to the advancements in technology among other things, the world as a whole is fundamentally changing and as a result I believe the economic state will need to adapt and shift before things can get better. Unfortunately, in order to shift our ways of living I don’t believe there is magic wand, there is no one president, no one prime minister, no one political party that can change our economy. We are in this together - globally. While I’m no expert on economics, I felt better when I saw this new non-profit Create Jobs for USA. It made me feel empowered that I can help, so I decided to share with all of you! In this way we can all make a difference and help the USA, to heal it’s bleeding fiscal wounds.
Just like anything else in life we are in a state of constant evolution and growth, so although it may not be easy, I think as Americans we will do what we do best - continue to pursue happiness at all costs.
