Guess what has jumped near the top of my list

Cemetery — We will be back to this exact spot in a few days to rest Margaret next to Johnny. Johnny was laid to rest there less than 48 hours ago.

Guess what has jumped near the top of my list.

Making, and paying for, my funeral arrangements.

Why?

Because i have seen how doing this in advance makes all the other details Family survivors have to deal with so much easier.

Plus, why would any of us wait?

Because we’re scared?

Because we can’t afford it?

Because that’s what our grandparent(s) did to our parent(s)?

Break the chain.

Set the example.

Be a leader.

It comes with a responsibility and a freedom many deny themselves.

Letting go can be painful, but it shouldn’t be

CD collection — Compact discs. Long ago taken out of their hard plastic cases and placed in individual sleeves, and the small “album booklet” recycled.

All those CDs.

Over 2,000 of them.

Will be gone tomorrow.

Donated.

Reducing.

Lean.

Freedom.

Thank you Apple Music.

And the fact that CDs are going the way of the cassette tape, and vinyl albums – perhaps this is overdue.

Meanwhile, others will go to their deathbed with their CD collection.

Why?

Picture yourself in a one-bedroom facility.

Make more sense now?

If you want to continue on this site, you’ll have access to details currently not available on the new site.

Why?

Because this site was a placeholder until a simple, corporate, and different website was created featuring the Disney Way. Think of this as an acoustic version of typical Disney Keynote Speaker websites, stripped down to the beautiful basics.

Looking for a remarkable and compelling Disney speaker or business advisor?

This site will help you because in just three minutes (and seven easy clicks) you will be guided to a menu page with choices for topic and length, and FAQ’s.

If there was a remarkably valuable Disney resource available to you, would it sound like this?

• 15 years speaking to over one-million people globally with Disney Institute

• Disney Institute’s most requested, highest rated speaker

• Retired from Disney in 2014 to launch his own enterprise

Seriously, three minutes with a “click countdown”…

i’d love to forget what this is like

Michael's custom framing — One of the piles included three custom frames for Christmas gifts.

There’s an adrenaline rush from clearing old piles of paperwork. is exhilarating.

It’s exhilarating.

However, i’d like to get to a place where i can’t recall the feeling.

Why?

Lose the piles and you lose the need to be ridden of them.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Plan, focus, enjoy, excel

Rising Sun Motor Inn — Corner room, door open.

Lake McDonald boat dock, on the way to Kalispel.

Lake McDonald Cobb House porch — A hidden gem we had never seen before.

Glacier Park Ranger Tim — Ranger Tim, right.

Back at our room around noon, we (mostly Cheryl) packed and loaded the car. i double booked us for Friday night so we could check out of Rising Sun as late as we wanted to and still get to Kalispel before dark. With a 6:15am flight, we didn’t want to drive three hours over Going-To-The-Sun Road from 1:30am-4:30am.

A leisurely drive east from 2:30pm-5:30pm, with many stops, landed us in Apgar for dinner at Eddie’s. Some shopping and then a 45-minute drive to Kalispel. The hotel was less than impressive but we found things to be grateful for. The second day of the Olympics was on TV as we fell asleep around 10:30pm.
