11-second video: same backpack, different year.
1973 Boy Scout jamboree ad
The image on this 1973 info guide (and diary) is the image of the patch on my backpack.

i only pack what i can carry.

Traveling light is joyful.

Liberating.

Courageous.

Perhaps even a blinding flash of the obvious.

Right here, right now

7-second video: Have ever tried to put the poncho back in the bag?
23-second video: It also doesn’t have sleeves. Yet it was so helpful to have for the 800-meter walk in the rain.

Bold statements mean nothing without action.

Happy present moment. Master your ability to live right here, right now.

A packed schedule is the death of joy.

Preaching comes second

Pink hibiscus flowers
We bought red last year. First blooms this year. Loved the pink surprise.
18-second video: First take. Practice before heading to the roof, which is the real goal.
22-second video: Some folks missed the whole ‘act your age’ message.

Only preach what you practice.

Media sweeps up hopeful, ambitious people with shortcuts to success.

Imposter syndrome is a fair description for most people launching a career.

My speaking career was launched over a lifetime at Disney and then Disney Institute (DI).

Prior to DI i never stayed in one Disney position for more than two years.

A 15-year Disney Resort Ops career and then a 15-year Disney Institute career.

Woke up one day after decades of experience and realized i was an expert and could skip imposter syndrome.

Grateful for the way the Universe (and Disney) graced me with a multitude of reps.

There is zero theory in my work.

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.

Keep moving forward.

Luxury is humbling

Hotel reservation screen
Never in a million years could i have envisioned booking a reservation like this. Never. Ever. Hard stop.

The Universe’s energy is attracted to similar energy. Be energetic. Work hard. Stay humble and grateful.

Yes, we love Glacier. Of course.

Kinda tricky the way i say “i love this place” when the photo showcases a wall dedicated to Glacier posters.

And that’s the thing, the wall and the GNP posters are on our back porch. And the back porch is my favorite place on our Planet.

Note: Glacier is in a three-way tie for third favorite place on our Planet.

Believing is seeing

Bird on a wire
Midday mile. Same wire as morning mile. Exact same location as morning mile. Possibly same bird as morning mile. But definitely a different bug.
18-second video: Dr Callaway said walking three miles a day the first week is okay. Past two days it’s one mile three times a day. This video is from a 20-minute pond-side slowdown.

Walking slowly is better than not walking.

dad

Morning mile.

Midday mile.

Evening mile.

Super slow pace on every walk.

Slowing down to speed up.

Slowing down to drink in the newly found eyesight enhancement.

Note: Been legally blind for the past eight months. Currently cautiously optimistic the new lens will never be an issue. If this happens, my vision has me feeling ecstatic.
