Cheryl, Molly, Gene, jungle jeff.

Counting September 8, 2021 as the official start of our empty-nest mindset.

What is empty nest mindset?

Time will tell for sure, but right now it feels like a time in life when you get to have more freedom with your time and attention.

An Apple a year keeps you

Not a video. Yesterday. Happens once a year. New product announcements.

Simple viewing setup in a simple motel room. 
11-second video. Just a taste. If you’ve never watched, you’ve never seen Apple’s consistently hip/confident vibe. 

The world is changing. 

You are changing. 

Technology is getting better. 

Is your mindset getting better?

Growth mindset has only one answer.

Sperry Chalet Magic

Your Sperry Chalet reservation includes breakfast, dinner, and a bagged lunch for the trail. All Guests’ lunches are set out before breakfast, to be picked up at your leisure.

Cheryl and i share 66 years of Disney Service. We cannot help ourselves in habitually, subconsciously being nice. What your mindset projects out to the world is what your mindset attracts back to you.

Maybe 100’ visibility.

The planned Lake Ellen Wilson hike never happened. We can hike in cold weather. But high-altitude cold and wet can be miserable and deadly. We easily rolled with the unplanned opportunity. A closed mindset would begrudgingly (and automatically) dwell on the canceled hike.
