Act ASAP

Ah, grateful, that wonderful feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for everything we have in our lives. Having gratitude is a crucial part of everyday life—especially when it comes to family. This post is dedicated to reflecting on the magic of being grateful for not only what we have but also who we have in our lives – those special people with whom relationships are forged out of love and understanding shared moments, compassion, tears, fears, and laughter!

As a stoic realist, I know I have more days behind me than I have in front of me. And every morning, I wake up with a deep sense of gratitude. It's not just for the simple things, like my health and well-being, but for every single experience that has brought me to where I am today. From the people I've met along the way to the opportunities and risks I have taken - all these dots have connected in ways that make me who I am today; a 67-year-old man full of joy and optimism.

I remember back when everything was uncertain, and it felt like life had thrown me turdballs at every turn. But looking back now, those challenging times were actually blessings in disguise as they taught me so much about myself, how resilient I can be and how strong my will is if push comes to shove. When faced with failure or mistakes, I kept pushing forward because giving up wasn't an option for me; something inside of me knew that better days were coming no matter what happened next.

And sure enough, here we are! Every day is precious nowadays since it allows us to appreciate all of our successes (big or small), reflect on our journey thus far and celebrate even more milestones ahead in life!

I remember the day I decided to start this journey like it was yesterday. I had spent days contemplating what I wanted to do with my life and how I could make a difference in the world. After some serious soul-searching, I finally knew what path to take – creating content that would inspire others and bring joy into their lives.

So today, if you are reading this – then thank you! Thank you for being part of this journey with me, for taking the time out of your day to read/watch/listen to what I have shared over these past few months - it means so much more than words can express! Whether you've been here since the beginning or just recently joined – your presence has made all the difference in keeping me motivated every single day

And now, as we embark on yet another magical year ahead together - know that nothing ever stops us when we put our minds (and hearts) towards achieving greatness.

We are just getting started!

P.S. Start the new year with a plan of action. Stay tuned for the upcoming Scheduling and Planning workshop.

This is a reading of a chapter I wrote for  The Book of Influence to be published early in 2023.

Feedback is appreciated.

To bring valuable information to you. I have come across a documentary, "Died Suddenly," which is a deeply disturbing film about the intentional depopulation of the world using COVID-19 vaccines. I highly suggest that you take the time to watch it.

*** Warning***

This documentary is not suitable for children.

Emergency Action Planning is presenting this documentary for your entertainment and information.

A shocking new documentary, "Died Suddenly," paints a chilling picture of our global future. It seems the Globalists are orchestrating what could be the greatest die-off in all recorded history! This disturbing information implies that politicians, media corporations, and fear-mongers have been complicit in depopulating humanity for their own gain. Even more disheartening to consider? Evidence suggests authorities knew about climate change fifty years ago but did nothing then - or now – to stop its potentially catastrophic effects on us all. I suggest you take some time out of your day and watch this alarming film ASAP.

Here's the link https://rumble.com/v1wac7i-world-premier-died-suddenly.html

If this is not true: The documentary is disturbing because it does prove that there are those who do lie to us for their own gain. But we already knew that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Died_Suddenly_(2022_film)

Trust and verify. Do not believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

It is more important than ever to make our voices heard and take action. Our world has changed drastically in the past 50 years - not just due to global warming but also because of population growth. The documentary proves that those in power have known about this impending crisis for decades, yet did nothing preventative until now.

We stand at a tipping point with water shortages threatening massive crop failures and even starvation! These events could severely impact California's food supply and hydroelectric production if they are left unchecked.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/05/us/california-rural-groundwater-crisis-climate/index.html

If there was any time to stand up and prepare for these events, it is now. Take action and plan for the emergencies and disasters that will come into the lives of your children. Let us join together before it’s too late, so future generations don't suffer from such devastating consequences!

Leadership is a contact sport. Being vulnerable is one of the ways to win.

If you've ever been at the front of a team effort or leadership position, you know it takes strength and courage to step up and take responsibility. At the same time, though, having a successful leader also means being comfortable with vulnerability. All leaders need to open themselves up and be vulnerable if they want their teams to trust them – something which may not always come naturally. In this blog post, we'll discuss why effective leaders must embrace vulnerability as part of their leadership mindset. Understanding how important it is for both yourself and your team that you expose some vulnerabilities while still staying confident enough in yourself to lead can make all the difference between success and failure!

As a leader, we often carry the burden of perfection. For decades, in my distinguished service as a Combat Infantryman, US Army Senior Drill Sergeant, and Instructor at the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy, this meant shouldering insurmountable responsibility and admitting to needing support was not an option. But in our current climate of economic hardship brought on by COVID-19, true leadership must include understanding that even leaders need help from peers and professionals if needed - be sure it's coming from trustworthy sources! We cannot afford for any further costs to pay for being too proud or trying to go at it alone.

The last two years of COVID have taken a toll on the world economically, socially, and emotionally. Moving forward into 2023, as true leaders in family, business, or the public sector, we must recognize our need for support. Reach out to your peers, family, and friends. If needed, find professional support. Sadly, we must also be cautious with whom we are vulnerable because it may harm us.

This video from Simon Sinek came across my Linkedin feed, which prompted me to create this post. There is value in it. I highly recommend that you watch it. If you don’t believe what I say, you might believe Simon Sinek.

Do not overthink it. Remember to put your masks on first.

Drill Santa Dan here inviting you to join me and my trusty assistants, Remington Reindeer and Evangeline Elf, for the upcoming holiday house fire safety boot camp. Click this link, and you will receive the first of many gifts, the holiday house fire safety boot camp e-book filled with valuable information.

The holidays are on us like a 10-year-old riding a sled on a snowy day.

Winter is a time for fireside gatherings, warm drinks, and cozy candles.

Candles have come a long way since their initial use as a source of light. While they are no longer used as a major light source, they continue to grow in popularity and use. Today, candles serve many purposes beyond just lighting up a room. They can be used to symbolize a celebration, ignite romance, soothe the senses, honor a ceremony, and accent home decor.  Their warm and lovely glow is something that all can enjoy.

While they create a festive atmosphere, candles can also be dangerous if not used correctly. Did you know that nearly twice as many home candle fires occur during the winter months as in the summer? According to the National Fire Protection Association, candle fires cause more than $200 million in property damage yearly in the United States.

It’s important to be aware of fire safety when using candles, especially around the holidays.

-Keep candles away from children and pets.

-Never leave a candle burning unattended,

-The temperature of the hottest part of the flame is about 1,400 °C (2,550 °F)

-Place candles on stable surfaces where they can’t be knocked over.

-Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before burning. Long wicks can cause fires.

-Burn candles in well-ventilated areas.

-Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn.

20221014 Tip of the Day Time Distance Shielding 2

Our friends at business insider have decided to launch an article to train the simulated effects of nuclear attacks against specific cities in the continental United States.

I’m curious to understand what business insider a global technology, finance, market, media, and healthcare publication is reporting the effects of possible nuclear attacks against major metropolitan US cities and how it promotes their image. I will note that this article is an updated article from 2019.

https://www.businessinsider.com/how-nuclear-attack-would-destroy-us-cities-2019-12

This is an opportunity to restate the three cardinal rules for radiation protection: time, distance, and shielding.

One thing to keep in mind is that the time distance and shielding options relate to an after-the-fact explosion of a nuclear atomic weapon.

Time distance and shielding will decrease individual exposure to radiation.

· Time - limiting your exposure time reduces the dose of radiation received. And over time, the intensity of radiation decreases based on its half-life.

· Distance - the farther away you are from a radiation source the dose of radiation received is decreased.

· Shielding - placing something between you and the radiation source prevents it from penetrating your body. Lead, concrete, or water provides this type of protection.

For general purposes and disaster management, the time distance and shielding rule does apply to many other types of disasters.

Time, don’t be there at the same time as the event. This can be accomplished when we can see it coming. If by chance we get caught up in a disaster or emergency there are often secondary and try Terry that will happen after. it time comes into play here when you want to remove yourself from the location of the secondary events

Distance and time somewhere dovetail together when it comes to basic or generalized natural disasters by not being there at the time it happens you are also distancing yourself from the event. Having an evacuation plan

Evacuation can be the best option.

Shielding depends on the nature of the disaster. Shielding yourself by placing something between you and it will offer some form of protection.

For example, a fire blanket to prevent yourself from being burned waterproofing a building with sandbags and mylar to prevent water intrusion.

Breakproof windows or a specialty film placed over your window can provide protection from high-speed proje

Use your imagination to define other forms of shielding that you can use to protect yourself from natural disasters.

In review. Time the less time you are exposed to a radiological event or not being at a location at a particular time will be better for you.

Distance, being distant from the radiological event and or the natural disaster will be more beneficial for you.

Shielding having some form of shielding between you and the radiological event for the natural disaster will be beneficial for you.

Now I know you’ve heard me say many times a truly do in the deepest part of my heart hope that nobody ever has to face any of these types of events. And historically it has been proven that at some point we will.

Take the opportunity now to review your emergency action plan to protect yourself your family and your loved ones.

The next time.

Be safe

Last month Marni the Wing Girl invited me to the Ask Women Podcast.

Marni Kinrys has dedicated herself to helping men become confident when interacting with women with her Wing Girl Method.

Being able to get on her Ask Women Podcast did not start out by trying to get on her Podcast, no.

This adventure started with my asking her to come on to my Leaders Communicate Clearly virtual summit.

As the consummate communications expert in the dating and relationship field, I knew she would have nuggets of wisdom to share with the audience.

And her answer was, No. 

But she did ask me to be on her Ask Women Podcast.

Yes!

We dive deep into the concepts of Leadership, Congruence, and Vulnerability.

Three valuable tools are needed to be successful in healthy relationships and can be used in any venue of your life.

This is the unedited version presented in the “Ask Women” Podcast.

Tampa Bay is now under a Hurricane Warning. A hurricane watch has been issued for the Big Bend area of Florida. The expected landfall of Hurricane Ian is later this week. Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for much of Southwest FL, and Tropical Storm Watches are in effect from Orlando to the central/northern East Coast (Fort Pierce to Jacksonville).

Hurricane Ian is a dangerous storm that could cause significant damage to families and communities in the coming days. Extremely high winds are expected Wednesday night into Thursday morning, along with rain or storm surge flooding when it approaches Florida's Gulf Coast later this week.

The American Red Cross has already started preparation for response missions on assets such as sheltering people against danger during these storms; giving them food if needed because many will be left stranded without electricity too - which means they'll lack not only water but also basic amenities like blankets warmth clothes first aid kits etc.; relieving their suffering until emergency services arrive at your location.

Evacuate as soon as possible

Suppose you are in the area of impact. Take precautions; if evacuation is necessary now before roads are congested. Based on the current projected path, northern evacuation routes appear riskier if leaving is delayed.

If you remain in an evacuation zone and need assistance. You cannot call for help. No one will come if you live in areas A or B for mandatory evacuation. If you live in a mobile home or evacuation Zone A and B, seek shelter. Contact your county office of emergency management for shelter locations and requirements.

Text a Shelter

Individuals can text "shelter" and their zip code to 43362 to receive a list of nearby shelters within 200 miles.

Users will be able to view directions on the shelter address once clicked. However, this may not work if cell towers are not transmitting or internet access is unavailable.

Load this number into your phone for future reference.

Tampa International Airport will stop all operations at 5 p.m. Tuesday, September 27th, to secure its airfield and terminals ahead of Hurricane Ian's expected landfall later this week.

Families should be prepared to take care of themselves and their loved ones and find shelter if it's needed or wanted during this storm season!

My love, good wishes, and prayers go out to my family, friends, and loved ones in Florida.

P.S. Are you curious? Take the free Disaster and Emergency Assessment. Learn your strengths and areas for improvement in your family disaster plans.

https://www.eapworkshop.com/f/dep-assessment

Learn about emergency plans for your children’s school or daycare center. School is in session across the country. Now is the time to determine what your children’s School or Day Care center has planned if they need to evacuate your children in case of an emergency.

Download and print the Parent Emergency Evacuation Information sheet.

https://www.emergencyactionplanning.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/PARENT-EMERGENCY-EVACUATION-INFORMATION.pdf

The intent of this form is to identify what the school or the daycare facility will do if they need to evacuate your child from the property.

Remember that one of three things will happen during a disaster or emergency.

Number one: you will stay in place until the emergency is over.

Number two: you will evacuate because staying in places is not safe.

Number three: you will stay in place until it is determined that you need to leave because your safety is in jeopardy.

If you have children in multiple schools of facilities, create a page for each one of them.

The parent emergency evacuation information form has Location and contact information, and four sections relating to where your children will be taken in the event of injury or evacuation.

Section One identifies where your children will go if they need to leave the facility on foot.

Section Two identifies where the children will be transported by vehicle if necessary.

Section Three identifies the hospital or health care facility your child will be transported to if need be.

And section four identifies where your children will be transported by vehicle if there is a major environmental non-confined emergency.

Based on my experience with multiple school boards you can get three different answers.

Number one: Whoever you are talking to will have no idea what you are talking about.

Number two: You will be told this is propriety information and you are not authorized to have it.

Number three: You will receive the information you’re asking for.

Not all-inclusive

This Parent Evacuation Information form does not cover everything in the school, and daycare center emergency plan.

Feel free to ask the school, school board, or daycare director to outline all necessary emergency procedures that they have in place to protect your children.

This should be a public document and you should have access to it.
