Fridays with Vicky 21
These three inspiring TED talk videos really touched me. It is 3 amazing stories.
They all have one thing in common; they are incredible parents on a mission.
They are mom’s and dad’s that inspire, touch and make a difference.
3 Inspiring TED Talks from Parents

Nancy Frates, Pete`s mom, is talking about how her son was diagnosed with ALS. How Pete, his family and friends, turned it into a mission to create awareness of the decease.
This is a touching TED talk on how you can make big things happen if you really believe in something. Nancy is on a mission to raise money and awareness of ALS, to find treatment and a cure to the decease.
She talks about how the Ice Bucket challenge went from the first ice dump to blowing up in media, among celebrities and literally all over the world.

Thank You Mom
Here is an extra video for you, you might have seen it on TV. It`s the Thank You Mom ad. All champions have a history of trying over and over again to succeed. In this video it`s kids becoming champions.
Even as adult we take on new tasks and we need to have the same mentality. If you are taking on a new adventure, it could be online marketing for example, then stick with it, brush off and get back up. Don`t give up.
You don`t have to do it alone either, join an awesome community like this one.

thank you so much for sharing with us what inspires you! Those 3 TED talks (which are all fantastic to begin with) look very interesting and inspiring. I will make sure to watch them. And that commercial! I might have been the only one who had not seen it before. But it definitively touched something in me, brought tears to my eyes. We fall (in every sense of the term) so much as kids, yet mom is always there to kiss the pain away. Mom is always there period. To see that video reminded me of how appreciative I am of my own parents. So thank you
Hi Emily,
Yes those TED talks are definitely worth watching. They inspire in different ways.
Even though it is a commercial, it has a very strong message that we all can relate too.
It might be that it remind us of our relationship with our own mother or the relationship with our kids… either way it`s touching.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it,
Vicky

Awww how sweet, glad you enjoyed it :). I’m sure your mom appreciated that!
Thanks for sharing it!
