i’m giving you money.

Please don’t be greedy.

Seriously.

Don’t.

But do be insanely grateful that you’ve discovered the interconnectedness between life’s five big choices.

Improve one orchard, the other four orchards improve.

Neglect one orchard, the other four orchards suffer.

Improve two, wow!

Neglect two, uh-oh.

It’s literally impossible for me to not try to help someone – to gift them with life insight – .think .differently

April 1, 2010: One solid year of blogging. Fun to look back on how amateur it was, and still is.

The blinding flash of the obvious is that i have…

  1. Unusual habits
  2. Drive
  3. Consistency
  4. Vision
  5. Hope

You live in Florida, home

Starter home
Photo circa 2011 (20 years after we sold it). Our first home (purchased new) 1985-1991. It was 30 miles from my job at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Reprise…

You live in Florida?

Yep.

Why?

It all comes back to…

Palm trees and sunshine.

And Walt Disney World.

The subtle differences, home

parking lot row number 5
Our prioritized-priorities journey should pursue balance with Life’s (5) Big Choices

The subtle difference in priorities?

Prioritizing your priorities.

It ain’t easy.

Why?

Cause you’re busy.

And you have no role model(s) on why this is important. Nor do you have a role model to explain how to do this.

My advice?

Decide to figure it out yourself and don’t stop until you’ve figured it out. You’re welcome.

What would a Spring-Breaker do?, home

Sanibel beach
Reading and writing at the beach is a creative endeavor. Pre-Covid-19. Mitchell’s Sand Castles on Sanibel Island.

What would a spring breaker do?

  1. Not give a heck about anything (except sex, and where’s the next beer coming from).
  2. Worry about safe sex and if they can afford the next beer.
  3. Get a suntan.
  4. Look for a hotel (close to their KOA) with a free buffet and a two-for-one happy hour.

No responsible spring breaker ever does any of the above, except get sunburnt.
