Fear of letting go

iPhone email folder list
Two self-created folders. The bottom one, HOME’s BIG 5 has five subfolders. Four of those then have subfolders. Many of those also have subfolders. Roughly hundreds of folders and subfolders, and thousands of emails. Deleted. Fear be damned. Surrendering to “i may need this sometime”. Banking on good judgement for keeping only the “i may need this sometime” folders.

Do you have a mentor who has, or is, coaching you on shedding?

Informally, yes.

Watched my In-Laws shed over maybe a decade.

The farther into the ‘shedding’ decade, the more frequent and thorough the shedding.

Each time it began innocently with something like, “Tomorrow, can we go up in the attic and have you decide if there’s anything you want to take back to Florida?”

Cheryl’s Mom always initiated.

Cheryl’s Dad, to my memory, didn’t participate in any shedding. This absence was likely his advanced (or blanket) acknowledgment that he trusted Cheryl’s Mom. And that he had no desire to keep ‘old, important’ things. Whatever important things he needed, they would be few and probably within easy reach.

Praying for check writers

Disney's Stitch lego creation
Stitch. Newly made. Koala pillow to Stitch’s right.

My favorite client is the one who can write big checks without having to ask permission.

Note: Think C-Suite.

Second note: Assume this: Helping every paying client transform the way they work is my purpose. Being nicely paid is them showing their hope, commitment, and appreciation.

Car Church

Car odometer
Since the 2014 Disney retirement, i rarely drive. The car is 22 years old. The past 10 years have greatly skewed the average annual mileage.

Told George the manager that i wanted his car-repair location to be in my car church.

A good night’s sleep helps me stay positive and find the blessings in every adversity.

Only Disney Cast Members know

Only those who wear a Disney nametag understand it’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic. -dad

Couple acre Graceland

disney keynote speaker Jeff Noel on a roof
Along the middle right edge is our back yard neighbor’s house. There’s a small pond in there too. The distance is astonishing. We are grateful for the distance. No idea what we did to be the grateful owner.

It’s challenging to find God on a full stomach.

We searched for seven years before we found, and bought, our two-acre Graceland.

We were hungry.

We wanted to live close to “work”.

We wanted to be within five minutes of Walt Disney World (work).

Mission accomplished.

But better than we could have imagined.

To find a two-acre empty lot…impossible.

It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

Hunger drove us to Graceland.
