i simple can not live without it

Mini-epiphany yesterday and right now.

Blogging every morning is so critical for my well being, before the day gets active.

In the quiet solitude before sunrise, much is accomplished that would never ever get accomplished.

And the cumulative effort of neglect, or of accomplishment, is staggering – in either direction.

i simply can not miss a day.

Period.

i can remember when (March 31, 2009 was the last day it happened) i couldn’t write my way out of a wet paper bag.

Really need to make the second book (after this one) a priority in 2016.

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.

Congratulations on your retirement

Closer inspection. Such a masterpiece.

 

Congratulations on your retirement…Thanks. i’m still working though. Doing the same thing at Disney, but on my own. i have the (intentional) ability to work anywhere, anytime – even from Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, even on Christmas day.

In the blink of an eye, right?

In the blink of an eye, right?

At the risk of sounding boringly redundant, it’s incomprehensible to comprehend the consecutive days streak – five daily differently-themed blog posts on five individual sites.

Seven full years of never missing a single day.

Looking back, it flew by.

(Note: i savored each day. That’s a lot of savoring.)

Want a perfect example of glorious risk taking?

Two days ago. i love that the photo is not “picture perfect”.

 

If you click on the Music video link, you may find inspiration for why risk taking is so important. For starters, you may reach new clients, and you may create a core emotional connection with your existing clients. This could also backfire too. That’s why inspiration is critical.

“Gateway to the Plains” Music Video Glorieta Pass, a natural corridor between the mountains and plains, is largely responsible for the unique diversity of cultures and historical events represented at Pecos National Historical Park. Ancient trade routes, the Santa Fe Trail, a railroad, Route 66, and Interstate 25 have all followed a similar path through this gateway in northern New Mexico. #RappingRanger (Background track “Black Spotlight” by Tia Cooper) Posted by Pecos National Historical Park on Monday, December 14, 2015

 

Taking risks is risky. So is playing it safe.
