Ta-da! TEDx!

I’m dedicating this week’s blog post to the amazing 2020 TEDxBoise speakers.

This group signed on for a six-month effort to build the talk of their lives. That was back in October 2019.

Well, we all know what happened next… COVID.

In March 2020 we postponed the event and plotted a course toward a 2021 event with the same crew. And then we had an opportunity to get our speakers on stage in the fall, thanks to the generous folks at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival. So this resilient crew readied themselves to deliver their talks with just a few weeks of notice.

We are–at long last–ready to share their talks with you.

There are a wide variety of subjects represented in this cohort. I recommend you click through to the TEDxBoise site to read the descriptions and find the ones you’d most enjoy. But if you want to watch the whole thing through (as if you’d been at the event), you can find a playlist here.

I saw firsthand how hard each of these speakers worked on their talks. They didn’t have the benefit of a 400-person audience to help them launch their talks into the world so perhaps you’d be willing to share the ones you enjoyed with your own networks?

Enjoy!

Hello, again!

Lavender a-buzzI’ve missed you, friends!

I’ve written so many blog posts in the recent months… in my head. I really have been writing quite a bit, but the content has been specifically for Our Daily Bread Ministries so I haven’t had the ability to post more here. (If you’re not familiar with Our Daily Bread, please do check it out as an accessible yet thought-provoking daily devotional. Whether you prefer to receive them in print or through social media, they’ve got options! My devotionals will begin appearing in March of 2017.) I do hope you’re following me on Instagram and Facebook, too; when the radio is silent on the blog, you can usually count on something on those sites (but I still don’t seem to be able to Tweet).  Read More
