How do you measure fruitful and abundant (aka ‘prolific‘)?

Counting is one way. And adding up the totals:

How many published blog posts?

How many words?

How many days?

How many years.

One-oval Church

Jim Bortner, left, was a good friend. He was an 880 runner. Coach put him in the 440 for some unknown reason.

Dedicated six teenage years to master the one-lap race.

The dedicated, passionate effort was a great life lesson. Didn’t know it at the time. But it’s clear now.

i never want Lee Cockerell to forget how much he influenced my life.

Dan Cockerell, Lee’s son, was an unintentional ice-breaker for Lee and me. Dan was a Guest Speaker at Disney Institute when i was the “SME” (Subject Matter Expert) for Disney’s Approach to Leadership Excellence.

Lee, many years later, introduced me to Jody Maberry.

Jody helped me record 100 podcast episodes of “If Disney Ran Your Life’.

The photo above made me smile.

There’s currently (early 2025) media buzz about changing the Gulf of Mexico’s name.

Coincidently, while cleansing my Facebook account, i stumbled on this old FaceBook post i did years ago. Can’t recall what inspired it:

What if David & Goliath formed a partnership?

Impossible?

Changing what we see changes what we see.
