"my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

Today I Vote For Malala
Today is an important day for Americans. We exercise our freedom and we choose who our leader will be for the next four years. Whatever your political belief is, the sheer notion of being able to voice your opinion without fearing your life is, in my humble opinion, the most important thing we can take away on this great day. Today I cast my vote in honor of Malala Yousafzai - a brave young woman who went through horrific acts of violence for voicing her rights as a woman, as a human being. Today, we as Americans can state our beliefs, and are encouraged to, without fearing our lives. Democrats, Republicans, we are all blessed to be Americans. I love America! I love Malala! Let your voice be heard!

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. :)
For Kelsey
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.
