dear ones...

i've been meaning to tell you guys this but keep forgetting, and this is a perfect time: i just **annotated** my TED talk. 


today i'm hunkering down to write a keynote speech for a conference of fundraisers and cool-ass non-profit people in holland and i'm revisiting all these themes. i'd love to hear thoughts from you guys ESPECIALLY THOSE of you who have REAL JOBS in the world of non-profit-ness, fundraising, etc...did anything in the book/the talk stand out to you? help you? anything you think that this humble artist could share with the world of real people sitting behind real desks making real phone calls could say?

i'm reading these comments today. hit me....


by the way, re: the TED talk...i can't effing believe this but it's gotten almost TWENTY MILLION VIEW across various platforms. i mean, it's no "friday" or "call me maybe", but it busts my heart open to know that so many people have experienced it. WHAT THE actual fuck. i mean yeah. 


it's funny....the TED talk led to the book, which led to the accumulated two or so years of my creative life that feels like it got spent TALKING about WHAT I DO and HOW i DO IT rather than spent DOING IT...


but i'm also starting to think i'm bullshitting myself when i say that.
the message is the message, whether it be in the form of a TED talk, a song, a book, a keyote, a patreon blog, a tweet, a fucking hug in a dark room with a stranger. you got that? 

ALL-ONE!!! ALL MEDIA ARE VALID ON SPACESHIP EARTH

ahem


and as far as the annotating: TED added a feature to their website about a year ago where you could add links and media to your talk for those veiwing it online....just click on "speaker's footnotes".

You are awesome! Also, I heart that you appear to have been channelling Dr. Bronner. :D

I love interesting footnotes! And it's always a great idea to go back and watch(well, listen, since I'll be reading the footnotes.) your TED talk again!

I work a ton so I'm about 3/4 of the way through the Art of Asking. I want you to know how much it has helped me. I'm so so glad you wrote it!I only wish I could have known about you in high school. You are honestly a life saver Amanda! 💛

Rushing over to the TED site this weekend to check your work out. And OMG you are coming to my country at last. Can I come see you speak or perform a guerilla ukulele concert anywhere? WHEN? HOW? If you need a tour of Amsterdam from a local: let me know! Personally the Art of Asking combined with a few other things has been instrumental to my professional growth in the past 1.5 years. Being less afraid of the vulnerability of the act of asking and keeping my eye on the prize (learning, working toward and important value of mine or a goal that will serve others as well as me) and bearing the discomfort has been such a motor for growth. On various levels. Good luck speaking and making that shit spread like wildfire!

I work about 40 hours a week, and run a tarot business, have two kiddos and a partner, and just finished my first book which will be published soon. I try to write as much as I can. I try to read cards as much as I can. I try to be present for my kids and my husband and my friends and I constantly feel like I'm letting someone down if I'm not careful. I know that I'm meant to be a full-time writer and reader. I know this like I know the sun is coming up tomorrow. I work my ass off at my muggle job because that pays the bills. I work my ass off on my writing because that paves the way for my future. It's hard and it's exhausting and I don't sleep much, but I make time because there is no other choice besides figuring it out. If I pay attention and am present? I can do amazing things. I try to stay present. I try to have faith. Your TedTalk and subsequent book helped immensely. So did "Big Magic" by Liz Gilbert. So did "Real Artists have Day Jobs" by Sara Benincasa.

Late comment on fundraising (I was once Director of Public Fundraising with UNICEF) I am fascinated by the emergence of blockchain technology and bitcoin as a means to democratise payments. Imogen Heap has released her music on Mycelium as a way to protect her intellectual property. It is another interesting evolution in the artist and the value of the work. This TED is fascinating... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl8OlkkwRpc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl8OlkkwRpc</a>

Congratulations! Demonstrates it's profound relevance. Good to see you joyfilled-joyful in this age where denigration seems to treasure impossible. I love you &amp; thanks!

The whole talk hit me. I am a nurse by trade and have an entrepreneurial mind as well. The courage that you executed by asking your fans to catch you after terminating your contract with the record company dd initially signed with. My dear, that is pure gusto. I have a composer in my family &amp; it has taken him 20 years to sail into financial rest (relative), but he can never do what you did. Allowing the fans to pay for your music. My heart just completely softens on the spot when I access this rich poetry. (Oi Vey!) There it goes A G A I N. Footnotes are oxygen.

When are you going to be on ted would love to watch

I've shared that talk with SO many friends! The talk and the book changed my life. I think the part about the talk that stands out to me the most is the bit about connection, and how people *want* to help artists. But it's SO important that they feel seen by the artists in return. Thanks for everything. &lt;3

My work as a therapist is fundamentally about forming relationships. I spend time with people. I see them with compassion. I hear them with acceptance. I walk with them through dark and scary places. It's meaningful work, but little of it can be considered materially productive. Still, I get paid, and I could frame the whole endeavor as a simple transaction: You pay me for my friendship. But that doesn't sit right with me. A consumer transaction paradigm doesn't honor the depth of caring and trust that is invested in the relationship, from all members involved. It also doesn't acknowledge the particular gifting and practiced skill I bring to the work. I'm not simply a friend for hire (as some describe the profession). A colleague once reframed my paycheck this way: You don't get paid for your productivity or your time. Instead, the people who value your presence and your purpose provide for your living, so that you are free from toiling elsewhere, because you are needed and well-suited for this work.

I am a community consultant (teaching businesses, nonprofits, artists, etc how to build community as part of their work). If I could make your TED talk and book required reading for my clients, I would. One thing I think very often gets missed in fundraising by non-profits, is that it's never a one directional thing. When we donate money to a cause, or volunteer our time, we get to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, we get to matter, we get to feel like, because we were born, the world is a slightly nicer place. And those feelings can only really happen if someone creates a space to be vulnerable, and to receive. They are VERY valuable, and we long for those feelings of meaning and mattering and affecting the world around us. I wish non-profits could get that they are not begging for help, they are the crafters and containers and facilitators of meaning for people. I wish they could get that it's always a dialogue, always a relationship, always a gift in both directions. And if it's NOT, that's when you get scarcity, and lack, and the stress that plagues so much of the non-profit world and paralyzes artists from asking to be funded for their art.
