Extraordinary acts of courage require lots of heart. Listen as decorated veteran, Major Hegar recounts one such event and how it positively affected the lives of everyone there.
Major Mary Jennings Hegar was on her third tour to Afghanistan as a rescue pilot in 2009 when she was shot down on a Medevac mission and sustained wounds resulting in her being awarded the Purple Heart. Her actions on this mission saved the lives of her crew and patients, earning her the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor Device. In 2012, Major Hegar filed suit against the Secretary of Defense asserting that the Combat Exclusion Policy was unconstitutional and won her case in 2013 when the Secretary of Defense repealed the Policy effective immediately.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I'm not sure what “follow your heart” means to you, but a common confusion comes from following our emotions; which come from Satan [the ego] and our thoughts, not from the heart. “Following the heart” doesn't mean following our feelings/emotions, but following something deeper and more subtle than thoughts or feelings. Following our feelings/emotions will get us into trouble, but following the subtle inspiration and knowings of the heart won't lead us astray. That doesn't mean that following our heart is free from difficultly. No matter what we do, there are difficulties because that is how it is here in non-duality on planet earth.

I just saw your “Doors” campaign video here (comments were turned off no doubt so that the Trumpie jerks (you know who you are) couldn’t dox your message.... THAT WAS A GREAT CAMPAIGN VIDEO and YOU HAVE DEMONSTRATED COURAGE AND LEADERSHIP, IN ACTION.... if you were running for office here in the DFW area, you’d get my vote!

She’s great👍🏼 The Republicans talk of less government meaning no government at all. All they do is take money 💰 from lobbyists and do their work. No thanks. I vote 🗳 and they need to do something for me or you don’t get my vote.
