Because I said I would | Alex Sheen | TEDxUtica

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)

[@susanrichards5791]

So grateful to have been on a Southwest Airlines flight from CA to CO and read the cover story in the Spirit Magazine. Alex Sheen was the selected Bio. Promise Cards and Alex's message have resonated deep into my heart. I am grateful for the opportunity to make changes in my life by being more mindful of the promises I make. I shared Promise Cards in my families Christmas stockings this year. 2014 will be improved for my whole family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
