LUSTER FIRE AND SPARKLE THE RISKS AND REWARDS OF LIFE AT THE EDGE

After a month of setting up I have come back to a place in time to reevaluate and rebuild what is most dense in purpose in my life.
Last year I left SF, I made sure to stick around for TEDxSF and I have come back with TEDxMileHigh, simply because I always find my grounding and inspirations from TED. After a year I took a risk, leaving SF with nothing but 2 bags and hope, I have made friends and broken me in more ways than I could imagine but I'm still me, less afraid of parks and the wilds of desert and trees and can finally find peace away from the comforts of conversation. On the show today we will explore with Dr. Natalie Baumgartner co-founder of roundpegg.com how taking the risk is vital and that there is more risk in not challenging yourself than in staying in a rut. Jeremy Bloom the founder of seniorwish.org Talks about what a wish impact study is and how it can change your life. And Woody Roseland speaks about surviving and thriving with comedy. My takeaway with this show and my mantra for the summer is it is riskier to not do anything than to try, it is 2012 and if not now when? Also I'm going to burningman, and I'm feeling pretty gambling oriented my home is in the heart and all my little moments are pretty great so eventually it will pile up to spectacular. SO to the beginning again!
