But when everything was done for the day I sat down and took in a couple of TED talks. <\/p>\n<p>I love <a href=\"http:\/\/ted.com\">TED<\/a>. I think it&#8217;s a great concept. Here&#8217;s a description from their website: &#8220;TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design.&#8221;. Their website contains over 1000 &#8220;TED Talks&#8221; for people to listen to. I find them inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I listened to:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/julie_burstein_4_lessons_in_creativity.html\">Julie Burstien<\/a><br \/>\nand <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/janine_shepherd_a_broken_body_isn_t_a_broken_person.html\">Janine Shepherd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>They were pretty good. I don&#8217;t listen to TED talks very often but I&#8217;m rarely disappointed when I do. <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a list of my favorite talks:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html\">Brene Brown &#8211; Vulnerability<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/brene_brown_listening_to_shame.html\">Brene Brown &#8211; Shame<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action.html\">Simon Sinek &#8211; Leaders<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts.html\">Susan Cain &#8211; Introverts<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/eve_ensler_embrace_your_inner_girl.html\">Eve Ensler &#8211; your inner girl<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a pretty busy day and although I did get in my &#8220;Sunday soak&#8221; in the bathtub I didn&#8217;t have time for any new [&hellip;] <span class=\"read-more-link\"><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/?p=585\">Read More<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=585"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":587,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585\/revisions\/587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/songofjoy.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
