What time are the fireworks?

Dinner. Across the street from Disney’s Magic Kingdom Cast Member parking lot. Disney University is in view too.

What time are the fireworks?

It was dark, but it wasn’t even 7:00 PM yet.

We confirmed what we thought, fireworks at 9:00 PM.

Sometimes Magic Kingdom fireworks are at 6:00 PM or 7:00 PM.

Different timing will make viewing the fireworks effortless. Closeup. Free. Stunning.

All part of our “palm trees and sunshine” community perks.

Never gets old.

Born to thrive?

colorful business card
Originally i only created four boxes. Discernment told me i needed an ‘administrative’ website. A 5th one, to kinda be the HQ for the other four.

Drew the colorful, four-box image (above) on a piece of copy paper from our home printer using our young son’s crayons.

Somehow pieced together the business card design and took it to Kinkos to print like 500 business cards. This was late 2008.

In early and mid-2008, i purchased a few domain names from GoDaddy.

On January 1, 2009, i officially registered an LLC using Sunbiz.org

Somewhere in the ‘early days’, it hit me, the 5th box is the big box wrapping around the other four. Five boxes had been designed from the start but i never intentionally did that. It appeared in a creative burst of, “How am i gonna fix this?”

Turns out it never needed fixing. It was brilliantly simple for the start. Like the Universe was remaining silent, but had cooked the reveal into the original design.

The Universe knew i’d get there.

Why?

Because, apparently, i’m a natural.

A naturally lucky nutty creative.

Grit, at home

Late bloomer, but still a bloomer.

Grit is figuring out, even when it takes decades, what only you can do.

Happy Saturday.

Great to wake up in my own bed.

A new era is nearly here.

Days away.

Nervous.

Excited.

Disney Institute executive resource debrief, home

team meeting in small room
We drove from Disney to Orlando International Airport’s Hyatt Regency. Photo: This morning’s ‘debrief room’.

Today was the most important day in 10 years, for this organization, from my perspective.
