My TED Story
A friend introduced me to TED about 5 years ago. One of my favorite talks is Elizabeth Gilbert's, Nurturing Creativity. Since then I have introduced friends and family members to TED including my 5 year old son and 8 year old daughter, who both have invented their own "TED talk"s and hope one day to do a real one. Recently, I worked with the TEDx team on grant development and I am currently the co-organizer for TEDxChico scheduled to happen in October 2012.
