Yesterday’s photos, above, were possible because of a decision made in 1984 – to pack up everything they had (which wasn’t much) and relocate to Orlando to get jobs at Walt Disney World.
A dream is a wish your heart makes.

What good are Company perks if we ignore them?
What good are Company perks if we ignore them?
Employee benefits are meant to bring joy and happiness to employees and their family and friends.
We humans have a habit of postponing today’s joy because we are so busy. We promise ourselves we’ll cash in on those joyful moments when the timing is right.
As they say, “No time like the present”.
There was also an orchestrated Magic Moment at Disney University’s “Company D” store. It included a Disney Cast happy birthday wish and concluded with Donna selecting her choice of a Cast exclusive Disney trading pin, compliments of Mickey Mouse (as far as she knows).
And perhaps the icing on the cake was seeing Mickey Mouse three times at DU. It was unexpected (and delightful) even for the “tour guide”.
While we could have snapped photos of Mickey there, we chose not to out of a deep respect for Disney’s Corporate Culture.
Insight: Not all perks are genuine. Some are meant to manipulate. Today was 100% genuine. Thank you Walt Disney.

What does it mean to live with intention?
(photo: Completely by accident yesterday, stumbled on the note inside the bag sitting on the rarely used dining room table.)
Have you come a long way from where you were just five or so years ago?
Why?
How?
These are great questions to ponder for the next five years, or so.

It’s the only thing that perpetuates excellence
(photo: teaching a Florida boy how to skip a stone… and how to live like you mean it)
Greetings from Salt Lake City. As we taxi to the terminal there is a flood of deep gratitude for great leadership.
The very best leaders teach and they expect those they teach to teach.
Ripple effect.
Seems so small in the big picture.
In the big picture, it’s the only thing that perpetuates excellence.

Mantras can serve as medicine
Remembering this mantra: Lose a battle to win the war.
On it.
Recently inspired (again) watching a top three all time favorite movie, Without Limits (the struggle for understanding between Bill Bowerman and Steve Prefontaine – an Olympic Coach and an Olympic Athlete at the 1972 Munich Olympics)
(yes, this is obscure yet it frees a writer to occasionally put something on paper that just feels good to say – it’s so cathartic)
(and it brings a Heavenly smile that is 1,000 times bigger on the inside)
(it’s extraordinarily healthy)
(it’s like having a therapist)
