In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Beautiful, simple and utterly meaningful - thank you for sharing xx
In the last couple of minutes she goes over her nightly ritual, which I found most useful and inspiring.
I loved the simplicity and genuineness of this talk. Thank you. You are loved
Caregiving will happen to most of us, I believe. When I cared for Rose, written about in The Inspired Caregiver, it was the most challenging time in my life. It is a time for caregivers to be forced to live in the now- and if we do not take care of ourselves while caregiving, we can get sick ourselves. If you go to inspiredcaregiver channel, we made small power tips to inspire and strengthen the caregiver! I love Pamela's tips! If we eat too much and eat the wrong foods, we will become overweight and unhealthy most likely. Makes sense. I love the art too. Fun and inspiring! I like the communication she has with her husband and the nightly ritual. Thank you for sharing this!
You are such a wonderful woman! Thank you for the very inspiring talk!
Thanks for this... LOVE the visual art that accompanies this talk! :) Brings in a whole different/meaningful dimension. :)
Loved this talk - I am a caretaker for my Mom so I can in some ways relate!!! God Bless you Pamela!!!😘❤️🙏
Bless your heart!
Yes, there is a lot of need for caregiving.
You have no idea the sacrifices you feel obligated or are obligated to provide for another human being that you choose to be responsible for.
Be careful.
Make sure you assess the health of your spouse or loved ones.
Their unhealthy choices might cost you your life and fortune.
