A Broken Body Isn't A Broken Person - Janine Shepherd

I absolutely loved THIS TED TALK by Janine Shepherd. It touched my heart because I have recently experienced my own "paradigm shift" in my world. How I view my life and myself has totally changed with the news that the endo may in fact not have returned and I may be dealing with something else entirely.

I mean, even my ED was 70% based on the endo, so just the idea that something so fundamental has changed, I don't know. I'm not saying I'm experiencing what she experienced when she was in that accident, but I am saying I am inspired by the way she dealt with the changes.

She could no longer run, so she learned to fly.

And how she didn't come to hate her body that had so betrayed her and taken away her dream of being in the olympics. Instead she loved it for what it could still do.

Just, inspiring. Check out the talk if you haven't yet!
