The Gratitude List

on November 21, 2022

November is the perfect time to update your gratitude list if you haven’t done so lately. There is a long list to be grateful for by virtue of living in America, but this month I would challenge you to list out the people who made a difference in your life this year – whether it was monumental or minuscule. And consider including the people who made your life a living hell. There’s as much to learn from a tormentor as there is from a mentor. Either way, at least you know who your friends are! This year, my list seems incredibly long, but there is nothing like having that one person who makes your soul blossom no matter what is going…Read More

3 Tips for Leaving Your Job on a High

Friday was the day! My last day at Walt Disney Imagineering. It was another good one too—only the last one!

Then I did a last round…Read More

Day One or One day?

Day One or One Day. You Decide.

We all have that thing that we put off, dream about, or push to the side and say, “one day…” What’s yours? As I write this month it is knowing that the year before me will be a time of great change—much of it transforming my life in ways I don’t even know yet. My “one day” is drawing near. Last year was my year of gratitude and it truly changed how I feel about everything. I enter this year of change with immense gratitude for all the changes I will make and need to make this year. My first big change: I resigned January 5th from my job with Walt Disney Imagineering where I designed and developed attractions and…Read More
