At the risk of too much of a good thing is simply an overdone thing, I will post two Ted talks back to back. After all, when you are looking for the inspiration (which is often another word for courage) to go an adventure what better place to find it than on the safety of your laptop. These things take time. And we often need to see and hear from those who have dreamed big and survived. And although this is not about orbiting the earth, giving up everything to move onto a 27 foot sailboat by yourself (ok, with your cat!) requires courage and passion. And so I offer you this Tedx talk from Teresa Carey who is the author of the very popular sailing blog sailing simplicty. Carey chooses a life of abundance over a life of stuff and it is a great watch for anyone wondering “can I do this?” Be that “this” a life on a sailboat, a life of living simple in order to afford that world adventure, or any other thing you might be thinking about. Enjoy!
