WGarth Callaghan
As you might know, I was recently asked to give a TED talk at TEDxRVA. The experience was more than I could have wished for. I am incredibly thankful to everyone at TEDxRVA for the opportunity. I have experienced some extreme highs and lows during the past few years, and this was absolutely one of the best events!
Please take a look. This was taken from the live feed that day.

The Grace of Receiving
WGarth Callaghan
My family and I have received some wonderful care lately. We’ve received incredible support from our friends and even many strangers. The support has included spiritual, mental, and financial. We’re learning to say “yes” when offered help in any way. Battling cancer is a full time job, and there are times that I just don’t have the ability to do things the way I could three years ago.

Good morning! I have never been a morning person, but there is something about a hot cup of coffee, a blanket, the sofa, and the dark that stimulates my creative side. I'm finishing up my first draft for my TEDxRVA talk. It's in 10 days. I was asked to participate last Monday.
Last week, I had entered a contest to win a ticket. I'm not in a financial position to buy one, but I certainly could try and win one.
I did win. Boy, did that contest change my life.
This is the email that I received from TEDxRVA: "Congratulations on winning the ticket to TEDxRVA through Twitter.
To be honest, we've been following your story and we'd be more interested in having you on stage to give a Talk than sitting in our audience. We know you have some interesting ideas worth spreading of course!"
I was filled with joy! I am still filled with joy! My mind hasn't stopped thinking about what to say and how to say it.
I've expressed this before. I'll continue to feel this way. Thank you for walking with me on this journey.
