TEDxSMU: Check Out TED

I recently stumbled upon an AWESOME website called TED. I spent 2.5 hours yesterday surfing this site & felt that this is a site I would like to tell you about. It is one POWERFUL tool to get you to start thinking & asking. Which believe it or not... not very many of us do! Anyway, I applied to attend their live event here in Dallas & wanted to share with everyone what that process was like! NOTHING LIKE ANY APPLICATION PROCESS I HAVE EVER GONE THROUGH BEFORE! Part of the application asked the following questions:

This Is R.E.A.L.

1. Why do you want to attend?
2. What are your passions & accomplishments?
3. Is there anything else you want us to know?

Here were my responses:

1. My wants for attending the conference would be to listen, learn, watch, engage, connect, network, share & educate. Feeling, hearing & seeing all the creative talks, passions & ideas of other educators, writers, inventors & musicians will feed the constant empowerment I have, & help re-fuel my energy so that I can continue to create ideas & "tribes" that contribute to the betterment & changing of the world. I want to attend TED to create an opportunity that will allow a representative from a community movement or "tribe" my colleagues & I have created, to be a speaker at the next conference &/or somehow part of this conference. I want to feel what it's like to be around such creativity & powerful energy, weather it's negative or positive. I want to be able to someday write & tell others that this TEDxSMU event was a huge part of not only my growth as a R.E.A.L (one of my new concepts) entrepreneur, but also my growth as a tool of Divine Genius. I want to attend this event because today was LITERALLY the first time I have EVER heard of TED (through the Mercola.com website), & now I am filling out an application to actually get the chance to attend a live event. I spent 2.5 hours watching talks, the whole time visualizing myself speaking my words on a TED stage. I posted the TED link on my Facebook & commented that "I found a new favorite website", & a women I don't even know sent me this link. Please explain to me how this is not meant to be?

2. My passions are simple. Similar to others I'm sure but they are to continue to educate, to inspire, to create, to infiltrate, to spread, to heal, to love, to give, to help, to provide, to grow, to make better better, to change, to serve & to lead. My job is to awaken possibility & limitless opportunity in other people. "It’s not about wealth & fame & power… it’s about how many shining eyes I have around me", created from my passions. I have a passion of doing all of this by changing the way people eat, move, think & live. Specifically through the industry of health, wellness & fitness. I have a passion for continuing to be a successful entrepreneur by creating businesses that are going to help people be healthier & provide jobs at the same time. I also have an extreme passion for keeping our life source & my creator, Mother Nature, strong, healthy & beautiful. I find beauty in all life & things created from Mother Nature. Hell, I pick up trash during my runs in my neighborhood! LOL : ) Some of my big achievements have been moving to the "big city", losing 84 pounds, connecting myself with support, successfully starting my own businesses, becoming an educator & connector, releasing myself of restricted & limited thoughts & beliefs, coming "out of the closet" & creating a job that I love.

3. I have created a concept that I call R.E.A.L. The components are REAL Eating, REAL Movement & REAL Thinking. Which comes together as R.E.A.L. (Real Eating And Living) This is the "modern holistic" term, concept or idea that I am creating the foundations for my businesses & education. The REAL term is the "new holistic" & creative approach to health, wellness & fitness. When I speak on a TED stage, my 20 minutes will include REAL & the idea of it all. With REAL as my foundation I will talk about how passion, compassion, love & the creative force within us should be used to better our health & the health of Mother Nature. My goal for all that I create is to educate & make aware of what modern medicine, the industrialization of food & the information given to us as consumers by health, wellness & fitness propaganda, is TRULY not the best information that we are getting. Let alone the truth at all, & what some of the best solutions are. I want to create an opportunity for those who struggle with weight loss to realize that EVERYTHING they have ever wanted out of life is present & for their own taking. I want to provide to the BEST of my ability the best information, knowledge, products & services for not only all of my clients, but for the entire world. Words can hardly explain what losing 84 pounds has done to not only me, but to the lives of my clients. I have had this feeling of something big waiting to happen & appear in my life. This TED event maybe it, or a part of whatever “it” is. Help me continue to give to, & change the world.

I recommend that anyone take the time to check out the TED website & answer the 3 questions that I answered. It jut made me feel good. Consider me a "forward thinker".

In good health.
