holy moly, tedx ROCKED!! talk about inspiring – wowza. i’ve never been to a live ted event before so i really had no idea what to expect. my friend kendall (from squirt & skootch fame) and i ventured to the museum of art on friday to take in the tedx cle event…and btw, it was gorgeous outside so it was not the easiest thing to stay in all day! (ha, the sacrifices i make for inspiration, right? 
#1 takeaway from tedx cleveland? apparently there are people in all kinds of industries doing AH-mazing things. ok, so this isn’t a revelation BUT it was a huge reminder for me to remember that not everything revolves around my biz and the design world. i know, crazy, right??
#2 takeaway? i need to get off my butt & start volunteering already for the projects that i keep saying “oh, i’d love to volunteer for that”
#3 takeaway? dar caldwell from launch house describing entrepreneurship - um, yep, he hit the nail on the head with that!!
#4 takeaway…why can’t everyone have him for a teacher?? one of my fave talks…this one knocked my socks off.

Oh I’m dreaming to go to one of their events! You’r so right, we too often focus on our own little world…but there’s so much cool, inspiring stuff out there!
Oh, I would love to attend one of their events–thanks to you, I have confirmation that they’re as amazing as I always imagined.
Lucky you, it sounds amazing! Thanks for reminders 1 & 2!
