Inspiration!

Inspiration! I look for it everywhere. Trying to keep life moving forward, keep life exciting and positive! This is not always an easy thing. People and circumstances are out there to drag you down, discourage you and just flat out try to break you. But if you look in the right places you can find that pixie dust out there. I have several people in my life that help do that for me, Cami and Sammi to name just two. Both have had some struggles over the past few years yet are moving forward take life full on and working to keep such positive and great attitudes and it really helps to keep me looking forward.

The past two days I was scheduled as Facilitator. I was so nervous because it was my first time alone with Day 1 and Day 2. Then I found out it was a gentleman that has been with Disney before and held many different positions including manager on duty at Epcot, manager on one of the cruise lines, helped start of Disney World, Disneyland Paris and is now working as manager with all of the costumes for Disney! NO PRESSURE!!! I was to cram 4 days of training into 2 and give him a general feel for what Photopass is all about. He knows John Cole and Rachel Lyons and Dan Cockerell(?) among others. Came up through the company with them. Gah!!! Several departments want him as a manager so he is checking them out to see which he likes best. Great position to be in.

So I decided to try and go through the days as usual except not quite so much detail since he wasn't actually going to be a photographer. We went through the PowerPoints and did a lot of talking. We really clicked. He had left Disney about 9 years ago because his mother got Alzheimer's and then got cancer. So he went home to take care of her. He's been back about a year and trying to get back into the swing of things. His story is so amazing and he is trying to leave it in God's hands as to where he goes from here. To me that was pretty cool. The days flew by and really gave me a push to be excited about what I'm doing. He is quite an inspiration.
