Do you watch "Ted Talks"?
Do you ever watch TED talks? It is a wonderful way to hear some amazing experts and inspiring people talk about a subject for 20 minutes. TED is a non-profit organization that uses the tag line-- Ideas Worth Spreading. It began about 20 years ago with a conference to bring together people involved in the disciplines of Technology, Entertainment and Design.
Janine Shepherd, a former cross country skier suffered serious injury when hit by a truck during an Olympic training ride. She decided if she might never walk again she might as well learn to fly! Her message is that you are not your body, and giving up old dreams can allow new ones to soar.
I hope you enjoy this talk. I found her to be inspiring and entertaining.
