A couple of weeks ago we returned from a business-related trip to Orlando. We added a few days prior to the business event to head out to Disney. Amidst the crowd, the heat, and the infamous Floridian humidity, we enjoyed our favorite thrill rides, and a bit of the signature trademark magic unique to the Disney parks.
On my last night there, I browsed through a store of Disney merchandise located on the Boardwalk. Besides purchasing a cool v-neck T-shirt in my favorite shade of pink, I found an irresistible little Mickey with his sorcerer hat perched on his head. This is the same Mickey found at the Hollywood Studios Park in a giant sculpture.
I scooped up Mickey. I just knew I needed to take him home with me. He sits on my desk. He smiles and reminds me that I can create the magic in my life. And it all starts with remembering that my own inner wizard waits within. She's only a silent moment away. She was the one, after all, who told me to buy Mickey in the first place.
Hey Deb
I read this post earlier today and did not
respond at the time.
Well... Mickey dropped by my house today
in the form of some junk mail.

I went to the site you mentioned, Deb. I wonder what Walt would think about Mickey's face on a credit card?!

Deb,
Yesterday...... after I wrote this comment
to you... I went to the post office.
I was in line and my head was nearly
jerked around to the back. In the area where
there are supplies for sale, there were shipping boxes with Mickey Mouse on them. RED boxes with
Mickey. I was just in WOW mode.
I'm loving the Deb-Spirit in Gear reminders
I've been sent.
I don't know if Walt envisioned the world wide
empire that his Disney has evolved into, but then
again... maybe he did. :)
As for the credit card, most likely it was
the extension of credit his way that started off
his business to begin with.

Your example is a great illustration, Deb, of what can happen from focus on one thing . . . in your case, Mickey was on the brain! Who knows what it all means? But it sure is fun, isn't it?
