What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

My original blogging idea started in 2007 because i thought Disney Institute (DI) Facilitators could each have a blog and share Disney Institute essence, content, offerings, etc, as we traveled and taught The Disney Way to global business professionals.

Turns out Disney Institute was not ready for this rapidly growing social media opportunity. Remember, this is 2007.

On January 9, 2007, Steve Jobs just revealed the very first iPhone to the World.

So yeah, in 2007 there was a ton of digital ignorance, digital naivety, and digital inexperience.

Ironically and initially, i never had any notion blogging would become a potential personal resource.

Man, was i mistaken!

Pick Up A Pen, Write A Thank You Note
Pick Up A Pen, Write A Thank You Note.

What are some of your earliest blogging memories?

Being thankful that JB Adams, a Disney Institute colleague recommended WordPress in 2007-2008.

No one knew what a blog was, let alone what WordPress was (at the time).

JB also recommended GoDaddy.

Boat trip, day 3, spirit

A few minutes into our drive home.

Should we get sad at the reality of having to leave the water location?

No sadness.

Only gratitude.

Gratitude we had time, money, and desire to spend at our discretion.

Island time has a double meaning here.

Back to the water…

What is it that stimulates our mind, body, and spirit when we are next to water?

Does the mind, body, spirit stimulation change when we immerse ourselves in the water?

We are 80% water, so maybe our connection is ancestral.

When we immerse ourselves in water with a comfortable temperature – a temp we can spend hours in without discomfort – it’s uniquely stimulating in endless ways for endless people.
