My good friend Alice Day sent me this video today. It's a talk by Jill Bolte Taylor about the stroke she had, and how she was able to interpret it from the inside out. Jill is a research scientist, and her stroke - though completely unexpected - gave her insights she could never have dreamed of.
I cannot thank Alice enough for sending me this video.
It has impacted me so very much. Not only can I relate to everything Jill Taylor went through (and I am forever grateful that my own stroke was minor compared to what she went through), but it also points me in a positive direction. What Jill Taylor discovered is that there can be good in something so horrendous as having a stroke. She's an inspiration to me, and her talk was not only humorous but was wonderful for strengthening my spirit.
Thanks, Alice. ((((hugs to you))))
