The wabi-sabi path to aging happily | Arielle Ford | TEDxSanDiego

[@Loupdelou-ly1ve]

Filling the crack with gold is called kintsugi, loving the crack without filling it in is wabi sabi, and both are wonderful.

[@lshwadchuck5643]

Great outlook. I'm right into wabi sabi housekeeping and lawn maintenance. People live with dirt floors. Bees like my wildfower meadow. More time to play music!

[@GreenOrangeBlueWhite]

Love from India! Sharing it with my mum

[@hfriedman5]

This talk had me laughing and crying! Dealing with aging, my own mortality, and the agism in the US culture is a challenge. Bravo to Arielle for helping pave the way for us boomers!

[@ShellyLefkoe]

As a fellow wabi sabi queenager I loved this talk. You are natural and free and that's an inspiration to all of us! Pure fiction is so much more fun and actually, it was perfect! I love you and I love this talk. Way to go girlfriend!

[@LzTish]

This talk was wonderful!! Arielle weaved humor with deep, poignant insights that resonated deeply with my heart. Her approach to aging isn't just about the inevitable march of time, but rather a celebration of life's sweet, accumulated wisdom. She painted aging not as a thing to fear, but as a badge of honor. This talk was a beautiful reminder that aging is not merely surviving years, but thriving with grace and wisdom. It's a must-watch for anyone looking to embrace their years with joy and courage!! I LOVED it!

[@brendasorrels5081]

You're so cute! Loved this! Thank you for all of your work - especially your Soulmate book! XOXO

[@StephanieBavaro]

This!!!! 100%. I am more free, happy, light, playful, and grateful - for everything (or at least finding the gifts, miracles, and blessings in everything) than I have ever been before. I live and celebrate the Wabi Sabi Queenager phase of this adventure of life. Thank you, Arielle!

[@BrookesNohlgren]

Fun and poignant! I truly enjoyed this talk...and got some profound reminders in how to age gracefully that I know can make all the difference in one's happiness. Thank you, Arielle!

[@nancydeville]

You hit it out of the park, Arielle! There is only one choice in aging and that is acceptance that you so humorously and graciously delivered in this TED talk. You are a gift and an inspiration. I’ll be filling in all cracks with gold from now on. Love it!

[@IyanlaVanzant]

Oh Yea! I Am Wabi Sabi! I love it!!!!

[@heidebanks7799]

This was such a memorable talk with a meaningful message…. finding ease with imperfection! We all need a little wabi sabi 😊

[@debraponeman5674]

Loved this talk! I laughed out loud the many times I saw myself in Arielle's examples! I was really intrigued by the research about the "U Curve"! Fascinating!

[@metamehling4736]

Mazel tov, Arielle!! You make queen-aging sound delicious, fun, and a great way to cruise through our latter years. Hooray for your fabulous presentation!!!

Wow one of the greatest ted talks ever!!!! I am claiming myself, wabi sabi Queenager, at 63❤❤❤

[@Angelina19601]

Me, too! At 63

[@melw2260]

I was reading Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein to my seven year old last week. I think it’s important to have an understanding of this concept from a young age. This was a wonderful talk.

[@sherisalatatransformation]

Arielle is pure wabi sabi gold. I do consciously choose the RCG-thanks for the great spiritual training, Arielle. 💚💚💚

[@greghilliard]

Your message is simple and so very true. Laughing, loving, and living long depend on attitude. Let's spread that Wabi Sabi around with another helping of imperfect perfection. You really nailed it Arielle but I'm hardly surprised. Congrats!

[@wendyzahler]

Loved this talk! Still howling about the Wabi Sabi Salad! Going to try it! Thank you Arielle for a fantastic and uplifting talk...

[@sujatashah1999]

I LOVE this so much! Aging can be tough, I’m not going to lie. But I am definitely a work in progress in accepting it all gracefully and am growing into being a queenager… I am always so inspired by you and your sage wisdom, Arielle. Your energy, humor, and huge heart made me smile throughout the whole entire talk. ❤ ❤ ❤

The curse of getting older is, "You have to slow down. The blessing of getting older is "You have to slow down.

[@susancristini7279]

Who says you HAVE to slow down?! I'm almost 77. I work as a substitute in an elementary school, and 2 days a week (18 hours) I work at a daycare. I also tutor online and am starting my own Confident Parenting coaching business. I have no intention of slowing down!! I intend to live my life fully, doing what brings me joy, until the day I keel over!!

[@AnatomyofFriendship]

Love this!

[@drstranger1-g4z]

I recommend all who watched this video to read wabi sabi book

[@crystalandrus]

You are a Wabi-Sabi Queen

[@margaretek5350]

🙏🤍🦋☺️For real this is awesome! 👏🙌🤗

[@susancristini7279]

Since I am no longer a "Spring Chicken", I call myself "The Autumn Chicken", another way of being a "Queenager". I've survived with my head on my neck and gained some wisdom about the workings of the "barnyard" (the world) , and I am able and willing to share it. Soon, I shall do that on my own KZbin channel. Keep a lookout for it! 🐔

[@lizgal2426]

aging happily... the problem is work and having money to say: F you I am and look great!!! if not society does make it very hard... to be honest
