Wait, you’re kidding me

The Book, Mid Life Celebration next to U of Oregon T-shirt
The book is a resource for our son.

You: You’re kidding, right?

You: I didn’t sign up to get grilled by someone I barely know.

Me: So.

You: So what are you doing. Feels like I made mistake.

Me: Really? A mistake? Interesting. You really think you might have made a mistake? Or, maybe, you’re subconsciously thinking, “Thank God. I’ve been waiting for someone to rub me the wrong way. But in a good way, a refreshing way. A way that might finally help me get unstuck.”

Me: Yeah, i’m good like that. But, please, make no mistake, if you continue, you’re gonna have to commit to working like you are trying to make your Country’s Olympic Team.

Me: No bull crap. Full-on. All-in.

Me: And you have to agree to slow and steady. There will be no forcing speed for a natural process that can’t be hurried.

Me: What this will demand (yes, you heard it, demand) from you is daily all-in commitment. That’s the only way slow and steady works. Most people have never heard of this life hack.

Me: You’re welcome.

You: Speechless and smiling (well, more like grinning).

Me: Breaks into a similar grin, knowing you now have felt what you came here to feel.

Me: Quietly giving thanks to the Universe, God, energy, karma, and every other good thing that is invisible, yet can be tangibly felt.

What did you expect?

Aha, figures.

Right?

Waiting and doing nothing are easy-peasy.

Stalling?

Stereotypically, yes.

Here and now?

No way.

The end of an era?

A favorite Disney character that goes everywhere i go, for a specific reason – love, Ohana.

The end of an era?

Asked our Son two days ago on our weekly touch-base call, “What would you think if i stopped blogging?”

He said, “It would feel like the end of an era.”

An era usually implies a long run with something that has been a fabric of everyday life.

After 11 years without missing a day, perhaps it would be the end of an era.

The script getting whispered during the daily two-hour writing commitment is, “This blogging is keeping you from finishing your Disney business books.”

If there was no job nor income to worry about and i could do anything, i’d start every single day by writing, just like the past 4,000+ mornings.

And now there’s a new script, thanks to our Son two days ago, “Of course you can do them both. You can blog like normal AND finish your first book about Disney Customer Service.”

Pack light for island time

Swiftcurrent Glacier from Swiftcurrent fire tower. Love going from 9,200’ to sea level.

Pack light for island time.

Pack light for everything.

Lose the weight and burden from non-essentials.

A multi-night backpacking trip illustrates this well. Everything you carry adds weight and takes up space in your pack.

Freedom comes at the far end of your comfort zone.

Wealth is learning what you can do without.

Island time is discovering the joy from being unencumbered.

No clock, no shirt, no problem.
