Big sky country appeals to me radically better than big city lights.

Trade a skyscraper for a silo.

Campus Kangaroos

Kangaroos on college campus — After lunch with Chapin and a friend in the campus dining hall, Cheryl and i strolled campus, stumbling upon six kangaroos.

What is normal for me might be special for another. And vice versa.
dad

Kangaroos are no big deal in Australia’s Sunshine Coast. But Raccoons would be.

At home i find Raccoons a potential threat to home and yard.

43 years ago at Disney University

Disney university and conference badge — My first day at DU was January 25, 1982. That day planted the seed for my TEDx Talk nearly four decades later. Photo: Spring 2019 after returning from American University of Kuwait.

Disney University and Jeff Noel Disney Speaker — Disney University wall of fame. The TEDx Talk is entitled: Why going the extra mile is a flawed concept, and what to do instead.

If Disney ran your life podcast art — January 25, 1982 was the start of becoming a Disney Life expert.

Disney allowed a small-town kid to flourish. Now that’s Magic.
dad

Disney hired me because i’m friendly.

Probably friendly because i have high confidence.

Probably confident because i grew up in rural America.

Note: My very first day as a Cast Member on the clock was Monday, January 25, 1982. Then, it was an invisible gift to my life. Now, it’s crystal clear.

Reverse Fathers Day, mind

What if you start thinking the opposite about everything you believe mentally?
dad

Tradition and dogma imprint ‘holidays’ as a once-a-year event.

Surrounding the ‘celebration’ is gift giving.

What if you thought differently?

Take Father’s Day for example…

No gifts necessary.

No gifts expected.

You are my gift.
