AWE - MAZED BY YOU!

I am sitting at PDX waiting for my shuttle to the hotel where I will settle in and prepare for the workshop I am facilitating tomorrow.

*more about that later😉

On the flight to Portland, still sweaty from my mad dash from overnight parking to seat 12 C, I began to charge my ear buds-wirelessly with my phone-

And was hit with one of those surreal moments of deep unexpected gratitude, awe, and disbelief.

How amazing it is that I am here. In this exact present moment, having this experience.

The sheer BRILLIANCE of humans who built these things!

I will be going between 545-575 MPH, approximately 8 miles above sea level.p

I am using one battery powered device to charge the battery of another device, again WIRELESS-LY

I have a calculator in my pocket. As well as all the encyclopedias. If I can't find the right term to look something up in the infinite library of information in my pocket,
I trouble shoot with a "robot" called ChatGPT4. My Jetsons watching innerchild, loves this!

( I wonder when teachers stopped telling kids that ☝🏻was why memorizing times tables was imperative?)

And my face didn't "get stuck like that"😉🤣
I know, I tried.

I HAD to take take a moment to reflect and share my morning

Typing it up in my phone notes-any spelling or grammer... I blame my thumbs 👍🏻 🤣

EVERYTHING that got me onto this flight on-time, despite my over sleeping, was because someone had a crazy Idea, and then built it.

So my day began:

DON'T DO THESE--ANY OF THEM-DANGEROUS AND PROBABLY ILLEGAL******

Overslept- flight 9:50 departure-
Me @ 8:10 - woke up.🤯

In 27 minutes- I was using a card to pay at the pump, so I didn't have the line at the register slow me down

ETA to airport- 40 min

(Insert that Kieffer Sutherland show '24' scene transition sound here...)

The time- 8:40
I 'checked in' for flight received my boarding pass, which I put into my Google wallet in one additional click. Had to accomplish this with one hand, with only one eye worth of focus (or less)
Because I was going 80 mph down the freeway, and I was driving 🫣

If it had been just a few years previous to my gratitude moment.... I wouldn't had been able to do this at all, definitely not with my eyes mostly on the road, and I handed

Without the previous step, I wouldn't have been able to roll straight to security upon entering

9:38

Had a good chuckle as they searched my purse for a pocket knife. Apparently, my SAMSUNG Z Flip phone looked like a pocket knife in x-ray scan-

I made it to the gate by 9:45

My ticket QR code was scanned, by attendants in 2 different locations

They also used the same device to make sure there was room in overhead for my carry-on.

Then, we were pulling away from the gate on-time.

It was 9:50.

I let out the breath I had been, apparently, holding since I opened my eyes

I located downloaded podcasts
I set my phone to airplane mode and....

$%&#!!!!

• I hadn't chargeD my earbuds in the car as planned.

Never fear

Someone built that solution too

Turn on power share
Put case against the back of my phone.

In 15 min-

My earbuds were at 40 %

My phone was only down 10 %

.... 🤯🫶🏻🤌😂....

I don't even know how that is possible-- And I don't want to.

I accept the magic.

I DO know that along the way so many people were told-

"You can't do that."

And they said

" bet?! Hold my beer..."

So THANK YOU Builders
Rebels
Visionaries
And Refusers to be 'Realistic '

You make life magical .

KEEP BUILDING!

P.S /CTA / FYI 😉

I have built my business with builders like the IH community in mind.

Let me show my appreciation by demystifying, and solution mapping all the non-technical communication, team building, & emotional intelligence growth you may need-

Let me help you get a 100x return on your time and effort- lowering the cost of the "investment " into these essential business building elements

That's my magic.
