It is still Monday, right?
The paragraph and video below are stolen straight from Christopher at Project Christopher, but I thought it fit today's theme perfectly. Thanks Chris!
Neuro-anatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness. She gained priceless insight into her own work and spoke about it in the TED series of talks about Ideas Worth Sharing. This video is 18 minutes long so sit back, it is an idea worth sharing.

Jill Bolte Taylor is SO inspiring.
Did you know she is on Oprah's Soul Series right now too (for 4 weeks)
and also that she has a FABULOUS BOOK called "My Stroke of Insight" that you can get at Amazon.
Here's the link for the book from Amazon - Enjoy!!
