Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

The cool blessing with blogging is that blogging has no expectation.

If you write only one blog post in your life, fine.

If you create a website and add a blogging software, but never write a single post, blogging says, “no problem”.

And if you write more personal blog posts than anyone in the world ever has, blogging says, “Oh, I never noticed”.

i love the infinite blessings of leaving a trail for you, Son.

In the big picture i will die with peace, with zero regrets on what i might have said.

Imagine one Disney couple

two retired disney leaders
“Mickey and Minnie”. Felt like it sometimes. We share 66 combined years of Disney Service.

Imagine one couple.

Working a combined 66 years at the same company.

Now imagine if they had lived out the original plan for 80 combined years.

Crazy!

Right?

Have long believed that if it isn’t fun, i’m not doing it.

Left column, this is the first slide. And, then look at the third slide down.

By the way, this second slide is a “pre-demonstration” of the first objective in the next slide. Who doesn’t like fireworks over Cinderella Castle? And when was the last time the second slide of a presentation you attended had Disney fireworks?

Been saying this since 2014…

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.

Note: These are my three keynote speech objectives.

After all the goodness of the day, a great night’s sleep is a welcomed, and an expected, reward.

Dear Son,

Writing for myself, first and foremost, has helped me be a better parent.

How do i know?

Gut feeling.

Writing everyday forces me to think deeper, reach higher, care more, and work harder.

There is just one thing i need.

All i want for Christmas is you.
