The Noticer Points of Interest
Points of interest based on The Noticer. Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama It's no fun keeping your favorite places all to yourself. That's why we have compiled this list of points of interest in Orange Beasch and Gulf Shores, Alabama that have special meaning for New York Times Best-selling author Andy Andrews.
Orange Beach, Alabama, is a simple town filled with simple people. But they all have their share of problems—marriages teetering on the brink of divorce, young adults giving up on life, businesspeople on the verge of bankruptcy, and many of the other obstacles that life seems to dish out to the masses.
Fortunately, when things look the darkest, a mysterious old man named Jones has a miraculous way of showing up. A man of indiscriminate age and race with white hair and wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and carrying a battered old suitcase, Jones is a unique soul with angelic-like qualities. Communicating what he calls “a little perspective,” Jones explains that he has been given a gift of noticing things about life that others miss. In his simple interactions, he speaks to that part in everyone that is yearning to understand why things happen and what they can do about it.
Based on a remarkable true story, The Noticer beautifully blends fiction, allegory, and inspiration. It provides simple, yet powerful distinctions about love, relationships, value, and integrity and will inspire readers to take that first step toward a major life change.
From the Pages of the Book ...
"So how did you know my name? No big deal, really," he shrugged. "I been watching you for a long time. I been around."
I watched him for a moment, considering his answer, then slowly nodded and retreated into the darkness for his coke. Returning with two cans, I handed one to the old man. Popping the top, Jones shifted in the sand and crossed his legs. "All right," he said, taking a long pull from the red can, "let's get started."
"Get started . . . what?" I asked flatly.
Jones set the can on the sand and said, "We need to start noticing a few things. We need to check your heart. We need to gather a little perspective."
"I don't even know what you are talking about," I said. "And I don't know who you are." "Fair enough," he smiled. "Well, let me see now . . . How do I explain?" He leaned toward me quickly. "As for who I am, call me Jones."
"I am a noticer," he said. "I notice things that other people overlook. And you know, most of them are in plain sight." The old man leaned back on his hands and cocked his head. "I notice things about situations and people that produce perspective. That's what most folks lack—perspective—a broader view. So I give them that broader view . . . and it allows them to regroup, take a breath, and begin their lives again."

"Life is like a game of Monopoly. You may own hotels on Boardwalk or you may be renting on Baltic Avenue. In the end, it all goes back in the box."
Andy Andrews, from The Noticer
"Many people ignore ‘small stuff,' claiming to have an eye on the bigger picture, never understanding that the bigger picture is composed entirely of small stuff."
Andy Andrews, from The Noticer

The Noticer Project is a worldwide movement to "notice" the five most influential people in your life!
Noticing those five people can be as private (just a letter or email) or as public (posting to your Facebook page or joining The Noticer Project Facebook group) as you choose, but this grassroots movement is meant to encourage us to step outside our busy schedules and avoid waiting until a wedding, graduation or even a funeral to take notice of the special, influential people in our lives.
Not every person that you choose to "notice" has to be an old friend or family member. It might be that you choose to notice a Good Samaritan that changed your life or someone like Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King, whose sacrifice made a difference for you many years later. The important thing is that by noticing those who have made a difference for you, you not only acknowledge their contribution, but you may gain a new perspective on your own life.
