NEW VIDEO ALERT! So I confess that I intended to post this hours ago but my days get so deliciously packed… so here I sit tonight pounding away at my computer, a Titanium scented candle (yes, kid you not) burning across the room, a wall of photos behind me and art work from when the kids were 9 or 10 on the wall in front of me. This is the absolute definition of bliss!

I have decided to apply to do a TedX talk — in California of all places, but I feel like it’s time. I’m of course also putting together my special Sky is the Limit event for Fort Lauderdale that will run at the Broward Center April 20, 21 and 22 (four 90-minute lecture/insights over the span of 3 days– please share and join us!). And of course I am also immersed in the busy season of my booking agency world and managing to find time to enjoy the amazing company/progress of my sweet dream child Schuyler.

It’s no wonder that I am still awake when everyone else is sleeping!

So part of the really engaging thing about diving into so many projects and about deciding that I want to find time to share our insights with the world is that I get to look back at photos, communications and ideas from the beginning of this journey. I get to ask myself questions and I get to “play” with those answers.

One of the questions on the TEDx application was optional (but I have to wonder if any question on an application is ever truly optional — wink). It basically asked what I would say is intriguing, remarkable or unusual about myself. My first thought was “oh good. It’s optional. Pass.” A-hem. I’m trying to be honest.

My second thought was what on Earth could be intriguing, remarkable or unusual about my life? It was a moment not unlike when I am required to find “the perfect dress” and as soon as I start looking for it, all of the perfect dresses have suddenly found their way into other peoples’ closets.

And as I played with the idea of intriguing, remarkable or unusual, it struck me that we don’t get any more intriguing, remarkable or unusual than when we have the courage to truly (yes, here it is again) brave exploring how we can become the best versions of ourselves.

It’s our uniqueness and the process that helps us to see that uniqueness that makes even the most mundane moment become THE most intriguing, remarkable or unusual moment in an entire lifetime.

Have a look. Have a listen to the video. Let yourself off the hook and embrace your own sublime version of intriguing, remarkable or unusual.

You are a story worth burning up the air waves about! So light it up!
