Moments – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

One more time, please

four senior citizens at cafe table — One more view, for old time’s sake.

holiday greeting card — We’ve been together a decade. We met at Lee Cockerell’s home two weeks before i officially retired on Halloween 2014. Mark and i began collaborating in early 2015.

There’s a last time for everything.

Sometimes we welcome the last time.

Sometimes we mourn the last time.

And sometimes, we forget to savor each time, never thinking that this might be the last time.

Personal Organization creates moments

Yesterday a tiny spider was trapped in our kitchen sink. The spider a minute later was set free.

Contact for spider’s size. Spider on upper left paper towel edge.

Personal Organization creates moments. Moments as small and insignificant as coaxing (it took some creative effort and time) a tiny spider onto a paper towel to save it’s life.

Son, thank you for your compassion. It inspires me.

She didn’t change all the exit signs, just this one.

Love that she was empowered to do it.

Be organized enough to do what you can

Disney's Casting Center building — Roofline at The Disney Casting Center

We also visited Team Disney, but photos are not permitted inside. We did get to see the world’s largest sundial, which is the building’s centerpiece.

Only one person knows that one of the four Disney Magic Moments was missed. Had coordinated with the Team Disney reception desk but the timing fell through. No one’s fault. But it demonstrates that creating Magic is hard work and doesn’t always work.

The other Magic Moment for Donna was receiving an autographed copy of Lee Cockerell’s new book, “Time Management Magic”. It happened in a most unexpected place by one of Disney’s hardest working and most respected Cast Members.

Dripping wet and out of focus

(photo: North Carolina spider web dripping with morning dew… a brand new day about to begin)

Being too disorganized ensures we never have time for introspection. And introspection is the only way for us to organize our thoughts, dreams, and priorities.

An ordinary spider web. Typical morning dew in the North Carolina Mountains.

But if we were thirsting in a dry, barren desert, we’d tenderly figure out a way to get that dew into our mouths without missing one precious drop. The stickiness of the web would be the last thing on our mind.

As we rush through today, may we find small, tender moments to drink from the present moment, whatever those circumstances offer.
