Fire and Ash, body

There’s my shoe, lower left corner.

To drive to Disney Springs is so easy.

Cheryl did it for over three decades.

First, driving to the Disney Casting Building. Cheryl was the 1989 Opening Team, General Employment Interviewer team leader. She led that team for 10 years.

Second, Disney HQ (before Team Disney was built), at Disney’s Sun Trust Bank Building. She spent two and a half decades there.

Cheryl ultimately became the Director of Labor Relations.

First, this is an (Disney) Executive position.

Second, being an executive at Disney is two-fold: First, a highly-intense position that to outsider’s would be an executive position, but at Disney it was not. Second, a bona-fide Disney Executive that came with specific responsibilities, perks, and bonuses that heretofore did not exist in previous (lower) level positions.

For outsiders, this is roughly one of only 200 positions out of 70,000 Cast Members.

When did you write your first blog post?

Daily, before heading out for a run.

But the original first blog post?

Had to dig a little….

Started preparing for the website infrastructure in 2007.

Opened a GoDaddy account in early 2008.

Started buying domain names immediately.

The two photos above reveal MidLifeCelebration and Lane8 began November 2008.

This is fun to write about.

Three-week countdown, body

Disney Institute Keynote Speakers
Back in 2008 when i wore sunglasses and contact lenses, and began blogging.

Three-week countdown, body…

Physically, it’s literally impossible to comprehend the daily blogging effort.

The physical effort to wake up hours earlier than necessary to write and publish five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different websites) before driving to Disney Institute. And i was already waking up extra early to be the first one in the classroom (and the last to leave at the end of the day).

Blogging started in 2008.

At Disney Institute i labeled my original, 2007, manila folder, “Web-Log”. This pre-dates the emergence of the word “blog”. For real.

That folder is where i put printed articles about this emerging self-publishing writing platform.

My original, and only, thought in 2007 was to harness this new, free, self-publishing platform as a marketing strategy for Disney Institute Facilitators to publish real time Disney Institute stuff.

Just one photo, body

From a great distance away, looking West into Swiftcurrent Valley. Swiftcurrent Mountain is on middle horizon. Mount Wilber is the first tall point to Swiftcurrent Mountain’s right.

Planned freedom, body

Swiftcurrent Vally. Looking East in this photo, The Great Plains are just over the mountain horizon. This photo location is literally on the Continental Divide.

Planned freedom is a concept anyone can take in any direction.

To me, planned freedom is investing in getting healthy and staying healthy. For a lifetime.

You’ll know physical freedom from your strength, stamina, flexibility, core, nutrition, rest, and motivation.

Note: The freedom you know, and experience, is proportional to the freedom you planned for.
