First lady of the blogosphere, Mwangi? . I blush.

I love a little edge. It flavours the world.

And, so true, innit, and then it’s normal.

It’s only crazy until it’s popular, and then it’s just normal ….. that is soooo true, thanks for a great article! (this coming from someone who doesn’t fit the “normal” mold either )

@Robert: Interestingly enough, I listened to that TED Talk some months ago….btw to everyone reading these comments check out his talk, it’s short and it’s brilliant….http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/66

The part I really feel gels well with this article is when he spoke to that lady who was in the dance industry and she talked about her reaction when she first stepped in dance class. To paraphrase:

“After being made to feel weird or wrong for being fidgety all the time while in “normal” normal school, I looked around the dance school and realized I was home because everyone was fidgety like me.”

Perhaps the key isn’t to condemn those who are different but discover where they can fit within the tapestry of society. Thanks for reminding me of that talk and cheers for the Stumble

It’s just like what Ken Robinson shared in TedTalk.
“If you are not prepare for mistake, you will not able to come out with something authentic”
It’ good to be unique! and dare to be unique!
Cheers,
Robert

Birds of a feather, BFF!

I deleted the old blog; just had a few posts saved in word format but that was the gist of that particular one.

Normalcy is so 1950’s.
