This is remarkable video of Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist, recounting her experience of a stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain. She describes the big lesson she learns, that stilling the brain chatter of our left hemispheres and allowing the all-at-once, here-and-now, all-embracing perceptions of our brains’ right hemispheres to break down the barriers between us. It’s well worth watching. Deeply inspiring!

Here’s a good website to visit. The Just One Day Project is an initiative by Victoria Leith and Fleur Missaghian to publish a series of books designed to promote unity, peace and happiness for humanity.

This amazing collection of diary entries was written by people from different cultures, ages, countries, backgrounds and professions, on World Peace Day, 21st September 2005.

Each person wrote about their day, sharing their thoughts on peace and giving the reader a window into their unique worlds. Each person did something that contributed towards peace in their local surroundings, helping step-by-step to make peace a reality by beginning at home with the individual. Each person also wrote about an organization, charity or worthy venture which they would like to promote to the rest of the world.

The book will be sold in all major bookstores in the UK, has been officially endorsed by Sir Richard Branson and has contributors from all over the world, some well-known, some not as well-known but all very important!

Vicky and Fleur are currently seeking sponsorship for the publication of the book, which has the backing of a publisher for sales and distribution but which needs finances for the printing. If you know of anyone who might be able to help, do let me know.
