The video below is well worth taking the time to view. If you’re an artist of any genre, you will appreciate Elizabeth Gilbert’s message. She’s the author of the best selling book, Work, Love, Pray. It was our prolific and uber-talented Sommer Marsden, aka Smut Girl that turned me onto the awe-inspiring TED conference video when I popped over to her blog. Sommer’s poignant thoughts about the video can be read here.
And as an FYI, Neve’s Naughty Nightcaps will be celebrating Ms. Smut Girl this month. Details to follow soon. Stay tuned, all you naughty boys and girls.
Until then, enjoy and do Ole’.

isnt she awsome??? love the vid..
most of the TED videos are gems!!!
Neve,
OLE!!!! this brought a tear to my eye! I adored the book and I loved her comments. I hope to comment more later but I am bout to catch a plane!! until then keep showing up! xo
Hey D,
I know. Me too. She’s such a humble person. I didn’t read the book front to back, but many of my friends did. I wanted to share, plus anything TED puts on is a must see!
Have safe travels and a great time.
Hey Danielle,
Yes, anything put on by TED is must see. I loved her thoughts and heart-felt experience. Wonderful. I’m so glad you enjoyed. :-0
please have a look at : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9Ihs241zeg&feature=player_embedded
even though i knew TED before i didnt knew about this wonderful writer before i found her on shannas blog…
Oh, Danielle,
For some reason you were stuck in the approve comments. How’d that happen? Yes, I’ve seen a couple speeches from artists on TED. It’s an intelligent and enjoyable forum. Oh, isn’t it wonderful to marry intelligence with fun. That equals sexxxy to me.
i dont mind to be stucked as long i m stucked in here with you..:-P
Sweet.
Neve,
I watched it again this morning and shared this with my friend, Jack. Again tears… as I truly believe that if we just show up to do our part to the best of our ability and not ever, EVER worry about how others perceive our efforts we will experience heaven on earth!
D.
PS I am going to re-read the book… if I can remember who I lent it to!
D,
Very cool. I do agree with your philosophy as long as our “best ability”, aka, actions don’t intentionally or unententionally hurt others. I know you, to know you agree, mi amiga.
Have a great trip.
