On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Odds are great the vibe was the same extraordinarily high level of excitement in 1914, a century apart from today.

Not much changes in the human psyche. Why aren’t all our days extraordinary?
The vibe around homecoming is several levels higher than the karma around other fall weekends.
Why?
We all know why.
The bigger question is why do we not treat each weekend as this special?
Then convert this thinking to our daily living.
Asking why and why not is transformational.
Why are some days extraordinary?
Why are’t all our days extraordinary?
But it requires time.

Forty-eight hours ago we arrived at the Sanibel Island beachfront cottage. Annual Summer tradition officially begun. A 25-year old tradition.
Forty hours ago, felt two peach sized lumps – one on each side of Cooper’s throat.
Googled Sanibel emergency Vets.
It was 10pm Saturday night. We are four hours from Orlando.
Found and called the closest option.
Other than some drooling during the day we arrived Cooper had not demonstrating anything unusual.
Thirty-two hours ago Cooper and I drove an hour to arrive Sunday morning at 7am.
His blood work showed virtually all his white blood cells were gone.
The next 26 hours were focused on three things. Breaking his 105.5 fever. Antibiotics. IV fluids.
His fever never broke.
Six hours ago, Cooper stopped breathing and was immediately intubated.
Moments later his heart stopped.

Living and working at the Walt Disney World Resort was a dream that became a reality 30 years ago. But the phone rang 15 years ago and an opportunity was offered, to become a professional speaker, something never, ever pursued, nor desired.
Have spoken to one million people since then. And every morning, like right now, it is the same challenge. How do you convince others who live in an obviously different world, that it is all the same?
