Temple Grandin's Western Wear at Golden Globes


Couldn't help but notice that Temple Grandin was wearing the same outfit at the Golden Globes as she wore when my daughter had her picture taken with her late last year. Pretty cool! You know what else is cool? That Temple attends these events and makes red carpet appearances when you know that puts her way outside her comfort zone. She is amazing and inspiring in so many ways and it is so wonderful to see her recognized. Congratulations to Claire Danes for a job well done too!
