Dream.  Set goals.  Take action.  Faith/unwavering Belief/bit of Luck & those Dreams, probabilities.  Recipe for LIFE SUCCESS.

• Actionable Dreams = Successful Goals 

It’s NOT like winning the lottery, it doesn’t happen by CHANCE.  Often a bit of LUCK’s involved however, I wholeheartedly believe we create our own LUCK.  Putting ourselves in WINNING positions/CREATING OPPORTUNITY by taking ACTION on our DREAMS.

My short story: Rural background, no funds, personal life complications.  Re-started university after my peers had already graduated.  Bachelors, Masters, worked thru college, all degrees Finance-related – not my Dream but me/my family needed to eat.

In addition to traditional business courses, I studied German, Swedish, French & English.  2 semesters of Spanish, one semester Italian.  I wanted to see the WORLD.  Didn’t know how that was possible but called it out to the Universe.

Opportunity struck.  Four years outta college, work-transferred to Russia.  Europe, North Africa, trip to Asia.  Fast-forward 20 years: gonna marathon ALL 7 continents.  Making this Dream actionable.  April 8^th: São Paulo, Brazil.

But first TODAY…walking ‘round the World.  EPCOT World Showcase, my fave of all the Disney Parks 🙂

Breakfast in Norway, buffet dinner in Germany.  Fave ride: Test Track.

Whole lotta walking, walking ’round the World.  Probably not the BEST prep for a morning Marathon.  Yep, he said Marathon.  Don’t fly anywhere without adding another 26.2 to the tally.  FAMILY meet-up in the afternoon.  It’s a Small Small World  ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ ♭ ♮ ♯

EPCOT World Showcase

Finding it harder & harder to coordinate FAMILY time, as the Hagas ‘Next Generation’ get older & older.  I get it, I also was 20 once. Hmm…. Think…  If you buy them, they will come.  Disney World tickets, of course 🙂

[ALL the Next Gens were Disney-introduced early in life, each still in diapers.  It’s one commonality they share ❤]

Hopped a late Thursday nite flight to Orlando.  Rental car pick-up, hotel check-in, sleeps: 2am Florida time.  Yikes!  Morning plans? Breakfast, groceries & a hair cut.  True story.  Personal life/work.  Hard to fit EVERYTHING in sometimes.  #noregretlife

Connecticut FAMILY meet-up: 11am.  Next stop: Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Star Wars Stormtroopers (FUN), Sci-Fi Diner (FOOD), whole lotta live-action shows (WOW) – Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast and Frozen.  Half-day Disney FULL.  Hotel by 8pm, Epcot in the morning.  Breakfasting in Norway.  FAAANNNNTASTIC!
