T is for Ted

I don't know about you, but when I'm feeling stuck or uninspired, sometimes I just need to listen to some brilliant and funny people. I'm totally indebted to the Ted talks for recharging my batteries. If you haven't taken the time to listen to any Ted talks yet, do yourself a favor and try one right now. 

 Here's one of my favorites. Elizabeth Gilbert (on your elusive creative genius):


What's your favorite Ted talk?

    I only think to listen to the TED talks when someone points them out to me. I should make more of an effort to think of it on my own. :) (I've heard this one by Gilbert and love it!)

      Although, I have been known to spend huge hunks of time flipping from one to another, to another...

    I haven't listened to any of the TED talks, but thanks for pointing this one out to me. I started it and have bookmarked it to finish later.

    Happy Tuesday!

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE TED Talks! You can even find them on Netflix. So sometimes I will watch them while I walk on the treadmill. I have learned so many interesting things and been inspired by these super smart people!

      I just watched it. Phenomenal. Each time I watch a new Ted talk I'm sure it's my new favorite. No exception this time :)

    I love TED talks. One of my favorites is with the Jill Bolte Taylor, the brain doctor that had a stroke.
