So… hi. This is my first blog post. I’m agent M7. The other day, a student pointed out to me that when she raises a counterargument in class, she often is judged and dismissed by some of the others for offering a different view. She feels ostracized at times. Debate dates back centuries and has been an […]

Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Take time to express your feelings in a productive way. Is it gratitude? Love? Self-doubt? Fear? The more we can self-manage our emotions, the more we can evolve as human beings. Love, hate, anger, jealousy, fear… all human. But why turn someone else’s perfectly good day in a […]

There are so many ways to define leadership. Here’s one way to think about it. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: To lead is to be self aware, to be humble and to take responsibility for ones actions. It’s one of those simple truths that mindful our parents tried teaching us, and that we […]

Sometimes my youngest says the darnedest things. From telling me one day to “get my own bloomin’ coffee” when I asked her dad to make me one, to waking up and telling me that her hair looks brushed but it hasn’t been, it just looks that way. I have no idea where she gets her […]

My friend and I were sitting outside late one evening while reminiscing about Suzy. She said her pledge to herself is to become more mindful. She has realized through the 40’s decade of her life that she just doesn’t want to keep up the work pace of her 30’s. As she reflected on why, she […]

This weekend, our plate is full. My husband is on one coast and I’m on the other. My brother just turned a certain age. My mother celebrates her 70+ birthday. My mother-in-law celebrated another year. Family and friends gathered for my college soul mate’s memorial. And my father-in-law’s memorial is tomorrow. Instead of Four Weddings and a […]

We buy our lives to a large extent. We purchase debt on a mortgage to live in our dream home or transition home. We buy the stuff that fits within that space. We subscribe to services to support our high tech and high fashion lifestyles. We pay for rent and borrow money for college. We invest […]

I’ve had my challenges these days with making concessions. I’ve worked really hard, and supposed that with maturity comes a sense of personal entitlement. We’ve probably all felt it to come degree in our jobs as the elders, or as parents when rolling our eyes at 5-year old temper tantrums. Or maybe accompanied with smugness when driving the hard […]

So much of what we do is in our subconscious. The other day a parent mentioned how daunting it is to discipline her children based on research that shows that what we do or say wrong may affect the brain negatively. Here’s what I think: Don’t Overthink it! Anything a loving parent can say or do, […]
