What You See Is What You Get

Visions of Spring to Come

Time for a motivational speaker that will knock your socks off?  Go to TED.com and under speakers look for Caroline Casey.  This is a woman who was fortunate enough to have her parents lie to her, if omission is a form of lying.

Once again, her story supports the adage that we live into our beliefs no matter how askew they might be of what other people consider "reality".  This short video makes me wonder if reality should be ranked right next to normal.  Two very interesting words.

A word of caution.  If you Google Caroline Casey the first listings you'll come up with are for Caroline Casey of Coyote Network, a visionary activist.  OK.  I've had the experience of hearing this Caroline Casey present at a conference I attended and she was another rattle your beliefs type presenter.  But if you scroll down about a half dozen listings you'll see the Caroline Casey TED listing.

Great viewing while waiting for spring to burst forth.  Come on, Spring!

Disclaimer:  One of my creative writing teachers said that I was not allowed to capitalize the word, spring, unless my name was Emily Dickinson.  So much for obeying all the rules.  I repeat.  Come on, Spring!
