My TEDx Talk just came out this morning. Feel free to share away!
My name is Amy Oestreicher and I’m a Detourist.
My stomach exploded. (Seriously.)
My life didn’t go exactly as I planned it – but does anyone’s?
A detourist travels along detours – simple enough. But in addition, a detourist embraces those unexpected routes as opportunities for growth, change and self-fulfillment. I’m living proof that a detour can lead to unexpected blessings.
As the nature of detours go, after I gave this talk, my life took another detour - https://www.amyoes.com/2016/06/03/trust-detour/. So although the talk has an "unfinished" ending, that is truly the nature of detours - by trusting our path, one foot in front of the other, with time, we eventually find our flower.
Hope you enjoy the talk, and feel free to share - the more we share our detours, the easier they are to navigate.
