Inspirational Speakers, Inspirational Stories - 4 - Jill Bolte Taylor

I'm continuing my series of blogs on inspirational speakers with inspirational stories.  It's the season, and anyway the world seems to be in a dark mood.  Let's see if we can lift the spirits by sharing some inspiration!  Please send me your most inspirational videos and I'll post the best ones.  No politics please - of course there are many great political speakers, but they're too divisive.

My fourth inspirational speaker is Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroscientist who had a stroke, survived the experience, and talks about it in a way that is unique and uniquely moving and inspiring.  Taylor has the great ability to take a potentially tragic event and find the humor in it -- without ducking any of the tougher realities of the situation.  Listen to her extraordinary speech on what it feels like to have a stroke -- and move beyond it -- with openness, courage, and grace.
