Moving back to this area just last year, this was my first time to attend this local event. Speakers shared stories from what seemed like the whole gamut of topics &#8211; all connected by perspectives &#8211; how we see the world, experience it, understand it and so on. So much good information and sharing. I was especially moved by the stories from Mary Carouba, Luanne Nightingale and Matt Nightingale. The latter two ended the event, and truly spoke to me. They spoke about embracing their lives with love, authenticity, and gratitude &#8211; even when faced with difficult truths. Their story is also very personal. Sharing it was brave and amazing. Luanne and Matt, thank you. What a great way to spend a Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>via Instagram <a href=\"http:\/\/chrstphrswn.co\/2f5K6Dw\" rel=\"nofollow\">chrstphrswn.co\/2f5K6Dw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mechristopher\/30715601141\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/5819\/30715601141_b4c64f144e_n.jpg\" alt=\"A View from TEDx Sonoma County\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A View from TEDx Sonoma County meChristopher posted a photo: Along with hundreds of San Francisco Bay Area locals, I heard stories and perspectives from unique people and speakers at TEDx Sonoma County.
