    Loved this talk! Needed now more than ever. A billion women empowered by the year 2020: Believing in the possibility of choice and what is possible, becoming comfortable with what is uncomfortable, making things happen by tuning in intuitively and being aware of the "time piece" i.e. birthing process of a notion. So many nuggets of gold here: women are the key to our global sustainable future, ask for help (mentors), communicate with a higher power, meditate, trust your intuition, re-frame negative situations into positive opportunities. Inspiring!

    Amen. As a man my favorite saint has changed thanks to Ingrid. Used to be a little known saint, Feofil a fool for Christ, but now its Mary mother of Jesus. At the wedding Jesus said the Guests had enough drink, but when his mother Mary asked him, he turned water into wine. When you women know what you want to happen, even God will do what seems impossible to enable your desires to be fulfilled. Blessings and love to all beings and thanks in-particular to Ingrid.

I have heard from so many men that adresses only men so I guess it was about time a woman did it. This talk also reminded me of the fact that many successful people do believe and practice the law of attraction.

    Really, this is an ode to great parenting. Without the support of her parents, this woman would have been put into a box she really didn't fit into: mentally disabled. The same thing happened to Les Brown and look at where he is!

    I think in some way shape or form weather its God, stranger, family, our-self.. We have everything we need to believe in a dream/goal. You can say anything you like about someone who appears to have a different means but at the end of the day it's on the individual to keep striving and pushing for what they themselves believe to be possible. Enough bitching about how life is not fare, do something about it! The you for sharing your story it's real and humbling to know how other's face obstacles and choose to think other wise for the greater good of life and possibilities!
