The best 4 minutes of her life
Isabel Allende, working with women and for women.
Watch her talk about Passion for 20minutes. She is very witty.
"..growing up in a patriarchal family, I learned to deliver two blows for every I blow received.
"Feminism is outdated for privileged women.
"Feminism is never thought of as sexy, but it has never stopped me from flirting."

5 situations I find myself in...
1- Being the youngest person in the room.
What do I do? I do as he says --specially on the topic of children. Fortunately, I have cousins who are waaaaay younger than I am so they serve as my contribution to the children convo.
2- Being in a bad economy.
Ryan Healy say it's really a time to re-think many things we've become comfortable with.
3- Screwing up --like not printing that e-ticket!
Ryan Paugh says think first, don't give lame excuses.
4- Being woman (and sometimes being the only woman)
Craving for security makes us less secure says Eve Ensler
5- Having that old, discarded Trauma
Expectations that cause trauma is very good material says Amy Tan in a very funny speech.
