2nd best day as a dad

14-second video: Unusual plane spotted from our yard.

A tragedy and a miracle can happen in one conversation.

i’ve added March 24 to an annual calendar event: after your birth, this day is the most important day in my life as a father.

Corners of my mind

Christmas means nothing without Easter.

dad

Three weeks away from ‘official Easter’. Have posted this song at jeffnoel.org before. Feeling it right here, right now. Happy present moment.

Up on the roof, again

55-second video: Always busy, never in a hurry.
Stars at dawn
A rare view of stars from Orlando — our rooftop. Orion, easily recognizable for many people is in the center.

Watch as many sunrises and sunsets as you can.

dad

Quietly and patiently watching a sunrise opens your being to a brand new day — a day you’ve never seen before, nor will ever see again.

Quietly and patiently watching a sunset closes your being to a brand new evening — an evening you’ve never seen before, nor will ever see again.

In both moments, you can think anything you want. These moments are special because without the act of sitting still to slowly watch, you will rarely pause like this.

Better to habitually pause than to not habitually pause.

Detail secrets

4-second video: DU. Attention to detail is our (Disney’s) secret.

Does that guy’s hat say, Glacier National Park?

Exceed expectations, pay attention to details.

dad

While at Disney Institute (DI), early in my DI career, i developed and operationalized this “Disney Customer Service” mantra. It wasn’t the content specialist designer mindset that created this. It was me trying to simplify a sparkly-design mentality. The bells and whistles, pixie-dusted vernacular had our (paying) audience blinded to the simple Disney DNA. i made and continue to make it my life’s work to deconstruct and then reconstruct Disney’s world-class operational DNA. “Pay attention to details, exceed expectations.”
