So i purchased the four domain names above, my gut also told me i should have an “office”, like an administrative HQ for all the stuff that wouldn’t naturally fit into mind, body, spirit, money.
jeffnoel.com was owned by an Arizona State Farm agent.
Being decently organized, i purchased backorder rights through GoDaddy.com for jeffnoel.com in case the State Farm agent let it go for any reason.
Sure enough, and much sooner than i could have hoped, he didn’t renew and i received the right to buy it 73 days after his expiration date.
So yeah, i often forget that i originally had four big choices in life versus five.
Visiting the archives for the three posts from March 2009, i’m reminded that i had the fifth choice all along – i called it a digital, administrative store-front. A place that served the digital equivalent of an office on Main Street, USA.
Where i stood to take this photo used to be a parking lot, and the Convention Center (right) used to be a parking lot too.
The Walt Disney World full-marathon is today. Something like 100k runners and fans. So many dreams for so many people. Most people who run their first marathon never keep running. But some do. Today we hope to add a few more lifetime wellness advocates to the list.
On a side note, January (mid-1980’s) used to be a “ghost town” at Walt Disney World. As a front line Cast Member at Disney’s Contemporary Resort back then, i can see what a wonderful job Marketing has done over the years to give our Guests many reasons to visit every week of every year.
Attitude helps us reach our goals and maintain our goals (for a lifetime). Without cultivating the indomitable will to think positively at all times, What we are cultivating? And are we moving towards quitting or away from it?

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.

In this 2010 photo (l-r): My first book’s storyboard, desk against the wall, Macbook on desk, PC on desk.
Let’s dissect this May 2010 photograph.
The original vision for writing a book happened in 1979, as a college Junior.
Started the process for gathering the content to write a book during Fall 2009. Yes, that’s really 30 years later.
The storyboard pictured above completed by Spring 2010.
The book was written Summer 2013.
Only three people knew the book had been completed:
me • our son (13) • the publisher
The first copy went to Cheryl on Thanksgiving morning 2013. She was clueless that it had been finished and was astonished to learn it was actually available on Amazon.
About an hour or two later, i announced to the world (Family/Friends/Colleagues) that the book (and Kindle version) was now available on Amazon.
