Great Conversation?

What makes a conversation great?  Obviously, it depends.

Yesterday, had a great conversation with a very special and  very gifted person.  A person who is both mentor and mentee.  A mutual admiration and respect, so to speak.

In asking him if I am:

  • Too pushy
  • Perfectly pushy
  • Not pushy enough

He said, “Not pushy enough”.  Hmmmm……

This website is what I refer to as “the warehouse”.  A sort of Internet storefront.  It does not have one particular theme or focus like the other four:

  1. MIND:     www.MidLifeCelebration.com
  2. BODY:     www.Lane8.org
  3. SPIRIT:    www.jeffnoel.org
  4. MONEY:  www.junglejeff.net

Five per day.  Every day.  Excessive?  No one will label me lazy, that’s for sure.

Would it be considered too pushy or just right, if I said anyone who doesn’t have a blog is lazy? You have a cell phone, a computer and an Internet connection, right? 🙂

CMA On ABC

CMA on ABC last night. CMA Music Festival was broadcast on ABC television last night.  I didn’t watch it.  Too busy.

However, coincidentally, I got out my old portable CD player to listen to one of my favorite country songs, “Big Time Dreamer” from Ty Hearndon’s 1998 “Big Hopes” CD.

My son asked if he could listen to a song.  Talk about timing!  Here’s the chorus:

“I’m the son of a big time dreamer that’s where I get my dreamin from. Daddy was a firm believer in the power of love”.

And if that weren’t enough, he listened to one more, “Tears In God’s Eyes“.

It’s obvious that most are  insanely busy, with little time to read and view everything posted here.  But try to imagine this.  Not only do I read it and view it, but also research, think and post it.

Five blogs per day, everyday.  I could never expect you to keep up with it all, unless I was a big time dreamer.

Humble Servant

Humble Servant.

These two words resonant.

Hard to explain why.

If there were two words, and only two words, that resonated with you, what would they be?

Hoping to someday soon be a humble servant.  Carpe diem,   jeff noel 🙂

Pizza Delivery

Pizza delivery.  What a wonderful convenience for busy people.

Saturday, Our son had a friend over for a playday.  I did the cooking for dinner.  Seriously.

Papa John’s to the rescue.

What makes this casual, and routine, situation special is that the gentleman who came to our door not only brought pizza but also some fuel for my fire.

Yes, it’s Summertime.  Yes, it’s like crazy hot in Central Florida.  No, we didn’t have a fire burning in the fireplace (although we sometimes do during the summer).

Simply put, he commented about the dedication he sees in my running commitment.  He’s been living here for eight years and has seen me running “every day”, for eight years.

We can tell people our big plans, or we can simply do it.  Thank you my friend, for reminding me of the power of our example.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Pro Blogging Inspiration

Pro Blogging Inspiration.  Click here to read.

The article is targeted to two groups:

  1. People wanting to become better bloggers
  2. People who appreciate bloggers who challenge them to take some type of action

I’m guessing most of you jeff noel.com readers know I also write four other blogs, every single day.

You may not be able to keep up with them, because, well, I don’t know why.  I spend way more time writing them then the 1-2 minutes it takes to read them.

I just hate to think about dying before I find out how to live.

Thought I’d go easy on ya today.  It is, after all, a day of rest.

Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
