The most important priorities in your life should be simple enough that no checklist is required to create personal vibrancy.
Look to Nature.
Follow her lead.
Instinct. DNA. Purpose.
Note: Not using photos today is intentional. Experimenting, obviously. Betting you already knew.

This website is about our HOME. This is the fifth of five daily, differently-themed blog posts about: (1) mind, (2) body, (3) spirit, (4) work, (5) home. To return to Mid Life Celebration, the site about MIND, click here.
Recorded two If Disney Ran Your Life podcast episodes yesterday with Jody Maberry. We wrapped up Season 3, which is technically Season one since the first two seasons were practice.
At some point in time, when we least expect it, we will wake up surrounded by stuff that not only doesn’t serve us, but holds us back and drags us down.
i am not judging others who collect and possibly even hoard stuff.
Sounded like it, i know, but it’s not judging.
Here’s what it is.
People are free to do what they please. i embrace this inalienable right to have freedom of choice.
Freedom to choose is beautiful and i am certain that i can no longer live with lots of stuff that doesn’t make me feel free.
This strong belief has nothing to do with other people’s habits and has everything to do with mine.

Every tiny spider we find in our house has great odds of being caught and released. Only a life with margin in its schedule will think this scenario though and act on it.
The beauty of lightness.
Unencumbered.
Beauty.
Joy.
Gratitude.
Humility.
Just a brief thought-riff on the lightness i’m beginning to feel again. Haven’t felt this light since returning from Glacier National Park 40 days ago.
Light meaning caught up, not overwhelmed, proactive, margin in my daily routine.

With God as my witness, this is a screen shot from an hour ago. i believe my wife and son always deserve an explanation.
Now that i’m clear, i feel a lightness that is literally indescribable.
Wow.
So cool.
Thriving to the next level.
Life is hard.
i get it.
i’m an alcolholic.
Probably addicted to sugar too.
And i used to smoke cigarettes, but only when i drank. And for 28 years, i only drank twice a week, on weekends and weekdays.
Dysfunction is nothing to be ashamed of.
It’s widespread.
But carrying some (self-imposed) unnecessary burden that it’s my job to fix it was unreasonable.
Ever hopeful.
Optimistic to a fault?
Then the creative year-long effort to reveal the obvious.
Change can only come from self-motivation.
Let’s just admit where we stand and then be willing to accept it and let go of things we can’t control.
PS. Facebook does not a solution make. Too public. Too impersonal. Like the dictatorial boss who thinks she can send memos to change her company’s culture…
PSS: Context – this post may seem hypocritical, like the boss writing the memo. Not everything is as it appears – private efforts remain private. i am at peace with the personal face-to-face and voice-to-voice efforts i have made in the past. Moving forward, these are always welcome. And i have retired from initiating them. Not initiating them in 2018 was the equivalent of the USA imposing economic sanctions on a country that takes USA’s generosity for granted, meaning a mental health professional agreed it would be a legitimate approach.
