Canada. :) I've never actually read any of Ted Dekker's books, but I've heard great things about him and it would have been cool to hear him speak. THanks for sharing your notes. :)Bonnie Way aka the Koala Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601183003333359031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-29247656182311627822014-07-12T14:04:55.578-07:002014-07-12T14:04:55.578-07:00Thanks, Marcia, for encapsulating The Ted Talk. T...Thanks, Marcia, for encapsulating The Ted Talk. Thanks for the challenge to find the greatest conflict in yourself right now and write it. I have opened a page and bled on the page before, but I think I need another bloodletting as we are still in the downsizing, unpacking boxes and fixing things stage of a difficult household move. All things were not as they appeared before we moved to a rental property.<br /><br />I wrote some of this plus some notes of gratitude for my July 10 InScribe blog. I haven't been following the InScribe blogs that well lately as Hank and I are putting in long days trying to make sense of our lives and our household.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this great inspiration from Word Guild Conference.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-50669499074420330892014-07-08T06:05:38.498-07:002014-07-08T06:05:38.498-07:00Thanks for sharing those nuggets Marcia.

I liked his advice about not hanging on so tightly to our 'sacred cows' too! And then I can't get it out of my head about how he said 'change the story.' He used the example, I think, of road rage. Instead of thinking that the person who just cut us off is a no good...we need to change the story and perhaps see the careless driver to be someone who is driving their sick wife to hospital or who has just received some bad news, etc. I found that good advice for life as well as for our own stories on the page. If we don't like where we are going or our mindset then we need to change the story! :) <br />Great post and don't you just love your own title, Marcia? I do. Love it Clever Girl! A great Ted Talk is surely was! <br />Glynishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621548333351709607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-7906282691782018472014-07-03T14:36:09.867-07:002014-07-03T14:36:09.867-07:00"You are a writer for your own transformation..."You are a writer for your own transformation, not for your success." I think that's my favourite quote that I gleaned from this post, although it is all so good and so relevant.
