What Do You Stand For?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the National Historic Park for Women’s Rights in Seneca Falls, NY.  Here we are standing next to the Declaration of Sentiments monument.
It was an inspiring few hours there.  To be in the space and energy of what women throughout history have done to stand up for [...]

When I saw this video of Elizabeth Gilbert, I just had to share it here.

A dear friend of mine passed along this video to me the other day. I have to say after watching it that it absolutely blew me away. I have been a friend of the Ted.com videos for a while. They are amazing speeches by the world’s greatest thinkers and doers.
