The Best 15:54 Minutes You’ll Spend This Year

January 10, 2020 by Carolyn Martin Leave a Comment

It happens this way …

I’ve taken a break from blogging for a few weeks during this holiday season, not because I was very busy (the holidays were kind and peaceful for us) , but because I had nothing to say. This morning as I was pondering when to get back on the  proverbial saddle, my former MSMA student, Nan Colalillo, sent a FB link to Anne Lamott’s TED talk from early last year.

“12 Truths I Learned from Life and Writing” caught my attention immediately and I’ve already listened to it twice. Anne is funny, insightful, down-to-earth, and shared exactly the ideas I needed to hear on this 10thday of 2020.

So with no further ado, I invite you to listen to Anne’s brilliance and I send gratitude to Nan for the kind of sharing that makes Facebook valuable.

Another world
