Mirror of my lifetime, home

What do i see in the mirror of my lifetime at home?

Casual.

Curious.

Shy.

Active.

Sports.

Cross-country, solo bicycle ride with only $75 cash and no tent.

Married.

Poor. But won a low-interest mortgage lottery for low income, first-time homebuyers (1985).

Health was almost always top priority – it’s the only thing i was really good at.

Then work at Walt Disney World became top priority.

Parenting looked hopeless.

Then a priority realignment.

Then teaching at Disney Institute, 1999 start (1999-2014).

Then parenthood, 2000.

Converted from (inactive) Lutheran to active Catholic, also 2000.

Then daily writing in 2009.

Then early retirement (2014) from Disney to start my own (risky, never-guaranteed) keynote speaking business (2014-2026) to have more control of my global travel schedule.

Empty-nester.

Personal vibrancy.

Sunset of life.
