With sincere #gratitude to @TEDTalks for sharing Gracenotes with the world. We *all* deserve to know HOW we #matter before we die. https://t.co/reAsIY7Ihd

[TED Talks @TEDTalks]

Why are eulogies only for dead people? Your loved ones deserve to know what they mean to you *while* they're still here: https://t.co/1EO30EH5pv

Grateful for IASBO COO Sue Bertrand & her team for their tireless efforts to ensure this conference took place under so many covid-driven challenges #IASBOac21

Happy Day of Mattering to all! Sending a box of Grace--and a [virtual] box of chocolates.

[WeShouldTalkAboutThat @WeSTATpod]

“Evidence of mattering”. Isn’t that what we all want? To believe we matter? In big ways or small, to many or just to one. Through her creation of #gracenotes @nomoreboring gives us an excellent reminder this #ValentinesDay to reach out and say “you matter to me”

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

@WeSTATpod @jess_buchanan1 @vipalxmag @AmericanHeartVA looking HOT and powerful in that red dress!

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

Thank YOU both for talking about an idea that needs more talking (and doing).

[WeShouldTalkAboutThat @WeSTATpod]

@nomoreboring Knowing you matter. Being seen. These are such basic human needs. Thank you so much for leading us in this topic Andrea.🙏🏼

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

@kevin_monroe @TEDTalks Thank you @kevin_monroe & @starrkindler for spreading the word about Gracenotes, AKA eulogies for the living. Esp in #COVID, we realize our time on earth is short. https://t.co/Ob0FXwqb5G

[Kevin D. Monroe @kevin_monroe]

This is a profound @TEDTalks @nomoreboring. This quotation from Anné Frank is stirring — “Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude.”

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

Good Riddance, 2020! So what's on deck for event professionals in 2021? Watch this short episode of MPI TV in which I talk about what's on the horizon....along with @Geoteaming's brilliant John Chen

Such a deeply beautiful talk. Ancient art form of carving = perfect metaphor for today: big, hard, difficult, important change [pandemic, anyone??] takes real time. What gorgeous art works, real & symbolic, can we all carve out of our collective COVID era?

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

Must-see NOT TV! LOVE this #tedxseattle performance by @pnwballet. It beautifully answers THE question I believe the most compelling online meetings must answer: what will we do together in virtual that can ONLY be experienced ONLINE (not IRL)??

[TEDxSeattle @TEDxSeattle]

WOW! We are loving this virtual performance from @PNBallet! #TEDxSeattle

[Andrea Driessen @nomoreboring]

Suggestion for a mascot for #TEDxSeattle 2021? How about a bridge--maybe a biophilia bridge designed by Matthias Olt--to "The Other Side" of the pandemic and life as we know it!
