You Tube and jeff noel.org

A winning combination?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Today’s post is simply a small test, as I learn how to post multiple You Tube videos to multiple blogs, without getting confused.

Wish me luck, as I am doing the same for you, everyday! Carpe diem and Happy Saturday, jeff noel 🙂

Are Baby Boomers Cool?

Are Baby Boomers, and even Gen X-ers cool?

Totally!

Way cool!

In 25 days, I have (hopefully) the privilege of turning 50. Seriously,

Of the many blessings and unique things that have happened during those five decades, I have never been an Olympian, nor had a “six-pack”.

Later this summer, I anticipate both becoming reality.

Funny thing though. Neither was a goal I had in mind.

Sure, like some people, I had dreams of these things throughout my lifetime. But never in a million years thought it would come true. And, may I add, I was never longing for, nor hellbent, to accomplish either.

Instead, what did I become passionate about?

Lowering my high cholesterol.

And that is what is leading me to the 2009 Master’s Track & Field World Championships this August.

Feel free to check out this amazing, yet humble, journey to the “old people’s Olympics” at www.Lane8.org .

Our eight-year old son is encouraging me to finish my goal of becoming the slowest of the fastest, out in Lane 8 .

Never let your memories be bigger than your dreams. Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

World Class Hope?

jeff noel.org on Wednesday is wondering what it would take to have World Class Hope.

Do you know?

Do you know what it takes to be world-class at any endeavor?

Any suggestions?

Last May, I was at the gym in Orlando, Florida when I had the opportunity to ask Tiger Woods a similar question. So I asked him, “Tiger, if you had one piece of advice for any one wanting to be world class, what would it be?

Check out jeff noel.com for his answer. I just posted a story there with his answer.

It’s a GREAT day to be curious, eh? Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Faith, Hope, Love

Faith, Hope, Love.

Words to live by, eh?

What motivates you every day?

What inspires you to try to make a difference, even though people or circumstances seem to tell you you’re crazy?

Here’s a thought, posted at Lane 8.org.

You may find it just the thing to help you Dream Big, Get There, and most importantly, Stay There.

Make it a GREAT day, because if you don’t, who will? If not today, when?

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Our Mother’s Day started at Church.

Today’s sermon was about an unbelievable sinner who became an unbelievable saint.

Saint Paul.

The Deacon prepared such an incredible message from the first reading, instead of the standard Gospel reading interpretation.

Afterwards, I asked him if I could please get a copy, and he gave me his original. Gracious indeed.

I plan to re-read it this week. There were some key messages. Simple too.

Make it a great Sunday, even if your Family struggles sometimes (or often) with the distance between you – physical and or emotional.

I say that because I was reminded today how much room I have to grow in some of my Family relationships.

It certainly is a two way street, so I am not feeling complete guilt. It takes two to make a relationship work.

Perhaps I can become an incredible saint, even though I often feel like an incredible sinner with some of my Family. Mostly in what I fail to do, like communicate. Ya with me?

Anyway, I better sign off for now. Peace and blessings, jeff 🙂
