Hello from Ohio, and welcome to Hive! This was a thrilling post to read, I am so happy to see you here on the blockchain! π
Your Ted Talk was the talk I didn't know I needed. I don't typically appreciate it when I meet people and they make me cry, but in this case I must thank you! I have no idea how you pulled through that without breaking down, your points hit like a hurricane, or perhaps a consistent 1 mph wind π. You are an inspiring woman π!
I have a borderline glass child, things are improving now with her sibling (severe colic and food allergies). I constantly wonder what life long structures I am instilling in my children... Listening along gave me some insight into my daughter's life.
I have a deep admiration for people who share vulnerable things in the hopes of helping others. You rock!
@grindan, thank you so much for your kind words. I don't blame you. I would not enjoy people who made me cry the first time I met them either. ;-)
I'm so glad my TEDx talk was meaningful for you. It was absolutely terrifying. But even though it was so long ago, I still receive emails and DMs from people who have found it and they have shared their stories of how it has impacted them.
I'm so glad your other child is getting better! That has to be a huge relief. And your "glass child," just you knowing what she might be feeling, seeing it and acknowledging it, that will make the biggest difference of all.
I've followed you and I'm so looking forward to knowing you more.
Blessings and hugs ~ Alicia
