Tag Archives: The Last Lecture

Ok, so I know we all love to laugh, but part of the mission of this blog is to make the time to cry…

in a good way.

So today I am starting a new series called Time to Cry Tuesdays. If you are the type that hates to cry, skip Tuesdays.

Or maybe you are just the person I am trying to reach. Kind of stop and smell the Kleenex sort of thing. Not looking to be preachy here, not my style. But i would like to think this will be a place to get inspired. (I have always been a sucker for poignancy).

Life is hard, we all know that. But we don’t need to make it harder than it already is. This video is a bit long (10 minutes or so) but watch every minute, you will not be sorry.

I know I am late to the party on this guy, but it is a timeless message.

I viewed this vid on Super WAHMS and I can not thank Kandas enough for posting this for me to find.(no wise cracks about this being on Oprah). Randy Pausch is now my hero (and he switched to a Mac, what could be better?). Learn more about him here. Love and strength to his wife and kids. There is a memorial fund on this page if you care to donate. You can also buy his book, The Last Lecture.

If you would like to see the entire lecture he gave at Carnegie Mellon click here. (this is over an hour but well worth it when you have the time. To date, over 6.3 million viewers seem to agree!).

Now, pass the tissues please. (I promise to make you laugh again tomorrow).

Oh, and if you receive this blog by email, I have no idea how that quirky little feed is going to handle this vid, just click on the title and it will bring you to the blog).
