About Me
- Amy Purdy
- I have acquired a new nickname after all the children in the neighborhood call me robot.I actually take it as a compliment, robots over the years seem to be universally cool. After a brush with death I lost body parts including my legs, spleen and kidneys and almost lost my life. After a long battle I gained body parts including super high-tech prosthetic legs and a new kidney with ultra filtration power from my father.I also gained a new breath of life, more gratitude and passion then ever. I'm inspired daily by life. This blog is a place for me to share my thoughts, my life and all of the things that make my heart beat!I hope you enjoy!

Ok! This is the first time ever that I stopped watching 'Dexter' to watch another video, and actually forgot about Dexter while watching it! That is one amazing accomplishment. If I ever win a Nobel Prize I'll definitely mention this video in my speech as a good example of what kind of spirit leads to do great things in this world :)
ReplyDeleteI received word of your TED talk today and am excited to show it in class tomorrow. My students will be inspired...truly. Thank you. ~Kellly
