The Kindness of Strangers A few days before Christmas, our Etsy friend Sandra lost her husband to cancer. It was discovered in an advanced state and he was gone in a matter of months, forty years old. Sandra and her husband were self employed as restorers of historical tiles, where their country, Portugal, is famous for. When a town has a project, restorers make offertes and the cheapest get the job. An uncertain living in the best of times, seven or eight months before his death they weren't able to work. He, too ill, she, taking care of him. In those hard months they depended on the income of Sandra's Etsy shop, Azulado, where she sells lovely ceramic pieces. She is now trying to get an allowance from the government for her small child, but Portugal is a country in bankrupcy, so thus far she has only met a wall of bureaucracy. Life is so fragile, and so is the web of dreams that we depend on. Sandra's Etsy team, EST spirit wants to help her, and so we are organizing a raffle to collect money.
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: Does Our Planet Need a Stroke of Insight? TED and The Huffington Post are excited to bring you TEDWeekends, a curated weekend program that introduces a powerful "idea worth spreading" every Friday, anchored in an exceptional TEDTalk. This week's TEDTalk is accompanied by an original blog post from the featured speaker, along with new op-eds, thoughts and responses from the HuffPost community. Watch the talk above, read the blog post and tell us your thoughts below. Become part of the conversation! Before 2008, everything I did had something to do with mental health. But then I gave a TEDTalk about my own experience with stroke. While I was traveling the globe, I still thought my core issue was mental health. The better we understand the choices we have been making, either consciously or unconsciously, the more say we will have in the world we create. To use a powerful metaphor, we have two magnificent information-processing machines inside our heads. We are an amazing species living in an amazing time.
John Kawie Excerpted from "Life is at the Curb," Stroke Connection, September/October 2003, Ten minutes into his one-man show, John Kawie tells the story of a stroke survivor in his building in New York City. “The guy’s trying to hail a cab.” John imitates the survivor’s meek attempt. It looks like someone just watching a car go by. He does it again. “The guy is in the lobby doing this.” This laughter, this making fun of another’s debilities, would seem cruel except for one fact: John Kawie is a stroke survivor himself. A dissected carotid artery caused his stroke in November 1997, a week into his marriage to Marilyn. But John loved standup, so on Christmas day, less than two months after his stroke, he took a cab from the hospital where he was recovering to another hospital to do his act for a group of patients. He tried again at a comedy club in New York a few months later but his mind went blank once more. “I was afraid Joanna would tell me to drop out, that I wasn’t going to make it.
EN MI PROPIO CAMINO: Cómo romper con herencias de comportamientos dañinos. Son muchos los sistemas a los que pertenecemos: familia, trabajo, amigos, etc. Pero el sistema que más influencia tiene sobre cada uno de nosotros es el sistema familiar. Éste es de suma importancia dado que nos influyen directamente entre 5 y 6 generaciones pasadas, sin ni siquiera ser conscientes. Arrastrando de una generación a otra patrones de conducta o alteraciones sistémicas que hacen que tengamos un sistema patológico con unas consecuencias devastadoras hasta que, es alguno de sus miembros, quien rompe con dichas alteraciones. Éste miembro no suele ser muy bien aceptado por el sistema, dado que devuelve el orden y la armonía. El sistema familiar en su totalidad y sus consecuencias El sistema familiar no solamente lo forman los familiares vivos. Al sistema familiar lo tenemos que contemplar en su totalidad como una unidad. Los ancestros, los abortos, las exparejas y los miembros que hemos excluido también forman parte del sistema y tienen su influencia. La importancia del orden sistémico

Native American Spirit Guides Legends by Henry R. dna testing, dna ancestry testing, ancestry, genealogy, indian genealogy records, paternity testing, turquoise jewelry, native american jewelry Once upon a time there was an old Indian who had an only son, whose name was Opeechee. Now, the old man was very proud, and he wished his son to fast longer than other boys, and to become a greater warrior than all others. After the boy had been in the sweating lodge and bath several times, his father commanded him to lie down upon a clean mat, in a little lodge apart from the rest. “My son,” said he, “endure your hunger like a man, and at the end of TWELVE DAYS, you shall receive food and a blessing from my hands.” His father visited him every day, encouraging him to endure with patience the pangs of hunger and thirst. “My son!
Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor: the neuroscientist who had a stroke and discovered Nirvana Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained neuroanatomist who specializes in the postmortem investigation of the human brain. What that means is, she cuts up the brains of dead people to look for the neurological causes of severe mental illness. On the morning of December 10, 1996, a blood vessel exploded in 37-year-old Jill’s brain. She woke up to discover that she was having a massive stroke — a severe hemorrhage of blood into her brain. Her immediate thought was “Oh my gosh, I’m having a stroke!” As a curious neuroanatomist, she was fascinated to be able to observe up close her own mind systematically deteriorating — to the point at which, four hours later, she was unable to walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Left and right brains Jill’s experience vividly illustrates how the average brain is organised into two distinct centres of operation. In the vast majority of people, the two hemispheres work very differently: Master stroke Her full recovery took eight years.

I get it, Lance « Woman, in Progress… Dear Mr. Armstrong , I can only imagine how you may be feeling. Lance Armstrong speaks with Oprah Winfrey during taping for the show Oprah and Lance Armstrong: The Worldwide Exclusive in Austin, Texas, on Monday. The interview airs Thursday and Friday on the Oprah Winfrey Network. (George Burns/AP) Sitting down with Oprah Winfrey , arguably one of the best interviewers of our time, and admitting — finally admitting — that indeed you used performance enhancing drugs throughout your career…well, that took guts. Eating crow upsets a person’s stomach, at best. What many people don’t seem to get, at least according to the media, is why you lied, and why you lied so fervently for so long. But I do. I fear that there is a monster living inside me. Why? Because if people don’t approve of me, then that which the monster fears most is confirmed: that I am worthless, unloveable, and of meager significance. Can you relate, Mr. Rather, I do. I followed God into the wilderness for some desert healing.
Five minutes with stroke survivor Jill Bolte Taylor May 23, 2012|Julie Deardorff | Dr. Jill BolteTaylor with a stained glass brain. Neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor has always loved the brain’s complex beauty. In her best-selling memoir, “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist's Personal Journey,” and in the second most watched TED video of all time, Bolte details her remarkable eight-year recovery, her newfound ability to rewire her own brain circuits and her intimate insights on the needs of those who have suffered strokes or other brain injuries. Taylor, a national spokeswoman for the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource Center, now frequently lectures about brain health at schools, fundraisers, colleges and community events, usually while carrying a prized possession: A real, preserved human brain. But what really gets her neurons firing is her latest brainchild: A collection of 22 enormous and anatomically correct fiberglass brains which have been lovingly decorated by various artists. Q: Do you have a favorite brain in the Extravaganza?
