  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Colleen McCulla explores the power that daily intentional action has on transformation. She traces the impact that small actions each day have on her journey toward health that led her to shed 175 lbs. As an artist, she illustrates how this practice currently impacts her life by showing some of the 700 collages she has created every day since 2012.
    Colleen is an artist and performer living in Dayton. Born and raised in the Miami Valley, she has a BFA from The Cleveland Institute of Art. Since October of 2012 she has been creating and posting one collage every day on her Instagram, @colleenmcculla. She is a proud crew member at Trader Joe’s in Kettering.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Thank you Colleen for such a great idea. I'm glad I found this video of intentionally doing something. Your story is inspiring. I'm a woman who works full-time,takes care of her mother. I finally made my dream come true! I'm attending SFSU to major in Early childhood and Adolescent Development. But between covid19 and my other obligations is very hard. This morning I woke up wanting to do something intentionally good for me!!! I won't give up.

    I find this content fulfilling. I read a book in a similar vein that was also fulfilling. "Mindful Mastery: Living Intentionally in a Chaotic World" by Kyle Ash
