i knew them all

Sometimes life overwhelms our home life…our job is to mitigate this each time it happens.

i knew them all…

Every one of our Property Owners Association residents…

Ever.

i’ve known them all.

Starting with the original ‘settlers’ (pre-1990)…

Abney, Vercammen, Rennells, Powell, Spore, Donkel, Renaldo, Nguyen (?, the ‘farmers’ with the pond).

And everyone since 1990.

We have always been a lowkey, pleasant community.

State Road 535 widened from two to four lanes between 2008-2011.

Either side of 2015 the future caught up with our community and we never collectively rallied around proactive, modern-day thinking.

The pressures of an attractive location near Walt Disney World, plenty of new housing and new infrastructure, year-round palm trees and sunshine, plus a never-ending exposure to global tourists….

Tension.

Ambition.

Fear.

It’s tested and grown my creativity, resolve, and optimism.

We will flourish again. Sooner rather than later.

College priorities

Continental Divide is always nearby. Bishops Cap, right horizon.

Go to college and learn something you can only learn in a college community.

Afraid of getting started?

Orlando Professional Speakers

Note Update from Lisa Melegari, co-organizer for WordPress Orlando Meetup and Word Camp:

We had a 95% attendance rate at WordCamp Orlando 2014 this past weekend – an Orlando best! Thanks to the over 420 attendees, 40 speakers and 30 sponsors, as well as our many wonderful volunteers and organizers who helped make our biggest event of the year a huge success! We’re already looking forward to starting the plans for 2015!

If you’re afraid of getting started, there’s only one universal cure to overcome your fear.

Live like you mean it.

Downtown Orlando city projects

As an Orlando based motivational speaker, the goal is greater impact with less travel. So many national and global conventions happen at Walt Disney World and Orlando.

The upside to being Orlando focused is the opportunity to create better, more compelling connections. Something that’s challenging to do when racking up Delta Skymiles.
