Amy Krouse Rosenthall was the final speaker at TEDxSMU a couple of weeks ago.  She was terrific — warm, gentle, human, caring…

She ended with a challenge that from 12/12/12 through 12/21/12 we should all beckon lovely.  Beckon lovely is much better than beckoning ugly (as she illustrated it:  that’s just “ugh”).

Here’s my reminder from next to my computer.

And here is her TEDxSMU talk.  You will understand the invitation to “beckon lovely” much better after you watch and listen.  Take a look.
