Spiritual presence

The main even i turned my back on. A hunch, a presence, to believe Magic could be all around, not just on the main stage.

Spiritual presence…

To walk with peace in your soul, joy in your spirit, and love in your heart.

Short jaunt from anxiety

two story home foyer steps
None of those people in the photos on the left wall ever said, “I only wish I had spent more time at the office. And, I’m so glad I waited until my health started failing before I tried to “live a little”.

Short jaunt from anxiety.

What?

Short jaunt from anxiety.

How?

Committing to moving into a new, supremely-deserved life-chapter.

Harvest time.

You know, the ‘ole reaping what you sow’.

We don’t teach beliefs

pink post it note with 3 handwritten notes
The third idea…empower others not through our words, but rather, and only, through our actions. Empower others by the example of our current habits and results.

We don’t teach beliefs.

Well, hold on, we do.

We teach beliefs through our actions, not our words.

Actions are what i use to ground me, motivate me, and hold me accountable:

We judge ourselves in our intentions, others judges on our behaviors.

i ain’t perfect but the personal improvement from 2001 is remarkable. A work in progress as they say.

Timing works outside comedy

two men next to Disney University
Jon and i were Disney Institute colleagues. He’s wearing an “In Training” red ribbon from his name tag. He’s working seasonally for Run Disney and is at DU for some training. Never would have bumped into him if it hadn’t been for these birds…
10-second video: Heard them squawking, otherwise, would never looked up to spot them.

Love Disney University.

Love walking.

Love looking at the sky.

Love bird watching.

Love Sand Hill Cranes.

Love running into old colleagues.

Love when all this happens at the same time.

Church steps

glacier national park lodge
Glacier Park Lodge is deep in the middle of nowhere. We love it.
8-second video: Last night’s sunset. Keegan is Glacier Park Lodge’s GM. This 2026 season will be his third summer as GM. We met Keegan four years ago when he was the Resident manager (aka assistant GM).

Hey Jeff, “What’s it like hiking in Glacier?”

Every step is Church. -dad

Hiking in Glacier begins a year ahead.

Where you stay, and when you stay, determines where you can hike.

So, “what it’s like” depends how far in advance you plan your ‘when and where’.
