Grateful TEDAholic - TEDActivist Robin Palmer Sings the Song She Wrote for TEDActive 2013 About TED

                                         
I am so happy to be participating at TEDActive 2013 for the first time this month! (http://conferences.ted.com/TEDActive2013) Wow! One of my fellow TEDActivists, Tereza Nemessanyi, had a great idea to assemble an a capella choir and sing a song or two for all of the TEDActivators there. Well, it turns out that Tereza is VERY POPULAR! She would have been the girl in high school voted as Ms. Congeniality AND most likely to succeed! So, she has now been asked to participate in several TEDActive projects and has asked me to organize what I have dubbed "The TEDAcapella Choir." Ok, I did star in Broadway musicals for 15 years, but I have never organized or directed an a capella choir before! I started looking for possible songs to sing and then this song popped out of me a couple of days ago. Now the choir members have one more song to vote on. :)
Enjoy! And if you too are a grateful TEDAholic, I've included the lyrics below, so you can sing along! And if we do sing it at TEDActive, you are welcome to join in with "The TEDAcapella Choir!" Enjoy! :)

Grateful TEDAholic by Robin Boudreau Palmer -
When I've got the blues
'Don't drown myself in booze
Take in a talk instead
With TED

When I feel forlorn
I don't turn to porn
I snuggle up instead
With TED

I'm a grateful TEDAholic
I'm addicted all the way
Flew to TED from Swaziland
And now I'm here to stay

I'm a grateful TEDAholic
So glad I'm not alone
All your smiling faces tell me
That I finally am home

And TED's family is special - like Active, Ed and Global
Out of all of my ex's, I love TEDx the best! (spoken -"Way!")

When I'm running scared,
Lost and unprepared
I stop and clear my head
With TED

When I'm longing for a thrill
'Stead of crashing down a hill
I know I'll be elated
With TED

I'm a grateful TEDAholic
I'm addicted all the way
Flew to TED from Swaziland
And now I'm here to stay

I'm a grateful TEDAholic
So glad I'm not alone
All your smiling faces tell me
That I finally am home
All your smiling faces tell me
That I've finally come home.

Robin Palmer is So Happy to be Attending TEDActive! For TEDYou.mp4

                                            

Robin Palmer is so excited to be attending TEDActive and shares about her TEDxTalk - "Robin Palmer - The Most Important Minutes of Your Day" http://youtu.be/h3B02MNuAmQ for TEDYou

Research shows that your mind is the most open and vulnerable when you are transitioning from your subconscious state to consciousness and visa versa. Ironically, most people wake up with blaring buzzers and "alarming" news on radio and TV and watch the news before going to sleep at night. Sleep deprivation and insomnia affects millions of people and is a leading health risk for Americans. Robin shares how to start and end every day positively to optimize the rest of your day and enjoy a great night's sleep - safely and naturally - without the risky side effects from sleep medications. She includes several wake up and bedtime 5-minute exercise examples from leading thought leaders and a short meditation for the day.

Robin starred in Broadway musicals for 15 years and invented and patented My Wake UPCall Motivational Alarm Clock Messages and My Good Night Messages - 5 minute daily automated Mp3 messages that start and end every day positively! Robin has also just written and recorded My Inspirational Lullabies - an album of new inspiring lullabies for dreamers of all ages. http://www.MyWakeUPCalls.com
