Easter – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

HE is Risen, home

Food for Families — Our 19th consecutive year delivering “Food For Families”. Yesterday morning at Ocoee High School.

A Publix Supermarket produce manager started “Food For Families” because he saw so much edible, but just-expired food get thrown away.

Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from what you can do.

‘Only’ three times each year for 19 years. Not a lot in the big picture.

But 57 events is better than zero, or five.

We did what we could do, without becoming clergy or full-time volunteers.

Noteworthy: Three giant American Holidays in Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving. Historically, these days do not start out by serving others. Not only were we donating time, but also focus. It’s humbling to change a lifetime routine. For nearly two decades, we received more than we gave on those mornings where others came first.

A good day for a Friday, home

disney pins and thank you note packages — Cheryl put together some fun and unique Cast recognition awards for an upcoming trip. Disneyland Paris Cast Members love receiving Walt Disney World stuff. Soon, we’ll stay there five nights. Cheryl did something similar when she was there six months ago. It was a smash hit.

We are a couple weeks away from our first international ‘vacation’ as a couple.

Note: We did bicycle on Vancouver Island for a two days and one night for our honeymoon. Not counting that in this context.

Blessed beyond measure to have time and resources to go.

Blessed beyond measure to have Cheryl construct an incredible two-week adventure. Her itinerary includes a seven-night, eight-day French River Cruise. And of course the rest at Disneyland Paris.

A good Friday indeed.

A good day, no matter the day of the week.

Christmas means nothing

walt disney dna — Walt was a genius at telling stories.

Christmas means nothing.

What?

America stereotypically creates a retail frenzy (lasting 60 days) right after Halloween, peaking on black-Friday and cyber-Monday, and continuing even after Christmas day with clearance frenzy.

Back to what.

Christmas means nothing without Easter.

Easter retail is amateurish compared to Christmas shopping.

In a busy, distracted world, it’s tempting to miss the awe and wonder of Easter.

i love the idea of starting before you say you’re going to start

WordPres admin blogging screen shot — The top post (10 – Scheduled) will be written in seven days. (3 was written yesterday, 4 is this one)

Book writing begins today.

It’s not supposed to start until April Fools Day (a week from today) 2016.

i love the idea of starting before you say you’re going to start.

It’s kinda like being a kid on Christmas eve, trying to be patient for Christmas morning.

By the way, Christmas morning quickly becomes obsolete without what happens tomorrow. It took decades before this thought crossed my mind.

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.
