Aimee Mullins

Aimee Mullins gave a TED talk in which she said, among other things, “The only true disability is a crushed spirit.”

I really hope you’ll follow the link below and listen to her chat about…well, I think I’ll let her speak for herself. Because here’s the thing – I was going through the little notebook I carry around in my shirt pocket on which I jot down ideas to which I intend to return later. Some of them become blog posts, some go in the book draft, some alert me to pick up milk and butter lettuce and frankly, sometimes I just can’t recall why I’d written the note in the first place. And that’s the entries I can read, my penmanship being questionable at the best of times.

Anyway, I was thumbing through and trying to decide what to write about this evening and then I came to a cryptic reference to Aimee Mullins. So I watched her talk and I found it of interest. I’m thinking you might, as well. Enjoy.
