Modeling The Chicken Soup For The Soul Book Franchise?
Just yesterday noticed, even though my photo is 18 months old, the authors have started a franchise, “The Secrets of Happy…” What a brilliant idea. Much like Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup For The Soul book franchise. Duly noted (again).
Beside’s providing Baby Boomers a place to come to think, smile and be grateful, jeff noel also prayerfully hopes Boomers will find solace in their dreams. Take comfort in knowing that any noble ambition will require arduous work, and take far longer than anyone could predict. Keep moving forward.
Another midlife epiphany. As the photo (above) from the YMCA Easter event reveals, society often thinks Life has three big choices: Mind, Body, Spirit.
Add Money (career) & HQ (personal administration) to the other three
We spend nearly a third of our life at work earning Money. Whatever we do for a living, we ought to do our best – our paycheck is tied to our level of contribution to society.
We spend our entire adult lives trying to keep up with the paperwork of life. We must organize our HQ (headquarters), our “executive office”. We are, after all, the CEO of You, Inc.
In yesterday’s Mid Life Celebration blog photo, my squinting was extreme. Finding this (above) 2010 photo explains why. The sun was low, but on the upswing. Kinda like our resolve to make midlife changes, and stay with our resolve to change.
As they walked out to their vehicle, there was a moment of choice. Do I watch them walk away and wish I had said something nice, or do I catch up with them and see if I can somehow thank father and son for their inspiring story? Well…..

Had no idea 18 months ago life’s “little” choices (ripple effect) would finally reach a midlife celebration blog.
