Inspired

I am, above everything else, a true student.

I love love love to learn.

I love great teachers.

Someday, when time and money permit, I will return to the classroom.

For now, I am grateful for the 20 minute free lectures of the TED conferences available online.

During Jesse's late night feedings I plug in my headphones and listen to experts from every field share their passion.

Many thanks to:

Ben Dunlap for his talk "A passionate life"

Charlie Todd for his talk "The shared experience of absurdity"

Alberto Cairo for his talk "There are no scraps of men"

Charles Limb for his talk "Building the musical muscle"

Alison Gopnik for her talk "What do Babies think?"

Each of these talks made me smile, tear up, listen *actively*and, most importantly, THINK:)
