Oh Jeri, thank you for sending the TED video on Aimee Mullins. I’ve been a TED fan for a long time and go to the site and choose a video on days when I need inspiration, but I had not heard Aimee until now. She is something!

I loved how the choreographer talked about honoring people’s specific ways of moving. Wish we could see them here!

I am so blown away by this idea! YES!!! It’s the best way to express who we are, each individual being allowed THEIR moment, to truly shine
Art, in every shape and form is what saves us from a world gone mad, GO ‘GIMP’, you have my support, 110%!!
Cheers for the link, all the best from ‘down under’!
