How do you mark the advent of Winter where you live? Seasons come and go. Growing up in Pennsylvania, you knew.
In Central Florida, it’s much more subtle. People grow up here, never seeing snow or a frozen pond. But with careful consideration, there are clues that unmistakably say, “It’s time“.
Last Friday, we heard the first Robin Red Breast chirping. Robins aren’t native to Florida. They come here for the winter.
In an effort to pass on “wisdom” to our son, unique home-made traditions, like the “1st Robin of the season” are a great place to start.
ABC Evening News with Diane Sawyer, on Fridays, honors a “Person Of The Week” at the end of the broadcast. Last night it was Garth Brooks, who’s sold more music than Michael Jackson. He’s doing 9 concerts in 6 days and donating all the money to the Tennessee flood victims.
Ever have something on your mind, for a long time, and then you are given a sign?
Feels good. Liberating. Joyful. Doesn’t it?
I’d like to honor my favorite human with a special Garth Brooks song. It leans on the sappy side, but it is…real life in real time. It’s also the first time I’ve heard this rendition:

New folks, this is a mini “The Internet’s Only Five-a-Day Blogger” manifesto. Otherwise, expect short, pithy posts on Mind, Body, Spirit, Money & HQ. All posts end with a hyperlink to quickly go to the next blog. You’ll see. No one else writes this way. Everyday, in 2 minutes, you get 5 different nuggets – a radical look at “balance”.
Remember, this is a long get-to-know-me post….then you might get addicted to short & pithy…let’s get started…
Most humans dream of living a well-balanced life, one with meaning and purpose, with no regrets.
Sadly, most don’t.
Is that what led you here?
Hello, welcome, I’m jeff noel from Orlando, Florida. Here are a few things to know to help you decide to stay, or not:
Bottom line, I’m a simple guy, with a simple message.
No garbage. No hype. Real life in real time. Safe for the little ears too.
But by no means is the bar set low. In fact, impossible goals are the only ones worth pursuing. Seriously.
As The Internet’s Only Five-a-Day Blogger, each morning I write five differently-themed blogs, challenging you to, “Live, before you die“.
Every life has five big choices to make. Daily. How you decide to balance your Mind, Body, Spirit, Money, and HQ makes all the difference between living with regret and need, or living with peace and abundance.
The Internet is saturated with gurus who can tell you how to make a lot of money, or how to get healthy, or how to pray, or how to lead, or how to organize your life.
My approach is different. And simple.
The essence here is that we are all on our own unique journey. A very special journey, and a compelling purpose only we can fulfill.
I’m here to help you make common sense, common practice.
If not now, when?
Live, before you die.
** A couple helpful tips for you. **
Each Post ends with “Next Blog“. At any time you can click on the word Blog, in bold and containing a hyperlink, to go to the next differently-themed blog.
Mostly, the posts are short and pithy. Quick, easy to read. Often open-ended.
Generally, it takes about 2 minutes to navigate all five daily blog posts. But it may take all day for the pithiness to subside.
Your other option is to scroll down to read more posts, and click “Next Blog” whenever you’re ready to jump to the next blog – each blog contains over 600 thought-provoking posts, with well over 3,000 posts total. All free.
Random me: I’ve been to hell and back. Overcome disability and addiction. Am working, for the 27th year, at a world-class organization. Married 27 years, with a son (10) and yellow Lab puppy. Being solar-powered, I love palm trees and sunshine. Beginners luck runs in my Family. My big goal in life is to become the kind of person our Dog thinks I am. And before settling into the corporate world, I did a solo bicycle trek across the United States.
