Blogging’s hidden blessing, body

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

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

When i write here on Lane.org, it’s like having a coach, a mentor, a best friend who has only my best (health) interests in their heart.

Me talking to me.

Coach to coach.

Mentor to mentor.

Best friend to best friend.

You know, simply typing the previous four sentences in about 10 seconds is remarkable to me.

Magic, even.

i like it.

Ps. Thank you, blogging.

i love GoDaddy

Worth repeating that i love WordPress.

And, i love GoDaddy.

WordPress provides a writing platform, a storage platform, and a publishing platform.

But none of WordPress’s capabilities and benefits work without a Website Hosting platform.

GoDaddy is that website hosting platform.

GoDaddy allowed me to purchase and own Internet Domain-Name real estate.

GoDaddy also offers world-class hosting support. Only a phone call, chat, or AI question away.

i love writing

i love writing.

My writing is inspired from thinking.

My thinking is inspired by the hopeful promise of personal growth.

Personal growth is facilitated by blogging. Blogging is simply writing on a platform allowing a permanent and fun record-keeping of thoughts.

Germany roofline with white clouds
Epcot’s Germany roofline a few days ago.

Over-focusing on what i used to under-focus on or ignore.

To keep the ‘streak’ alive, i brainstormed an easy solution.

Keep writing “two hours a day”.

Whether it’s five daily, differently-themed blog posts or writing other things, it’s still writing.

Still a remarkable commitment.

That was the only way it would work.

Text thread screenshot
Near the end of today’s 7-miler, i texted Alan. We then spoke for 15 minutes. It was fascinating. Ps. Alan lives nearby.

Alan is retired and his children are running his business now. Alan has a keen eye for seeing how AI could help his sons run their business.

Alan also listens to a lot of podcasts these days.

He shared three stories, one from each podcast that he said reminded him of me.

The first most compelling story featured Jordan Peterson moving his massive body of work to AI.

At the end of our chat, he said he would send me the result of a question he asked on X.

Alan described the results as a five minute Jeff Noel Ted Talk.
