We try so hard to figure out this crazy place on earth. Who are we, really? How do we fit in? And frankly I don’t care how much we emphasize living our values. I still find that other factors can get in the way of coming into ourselves. The most important thing you can do […]

I still have trouble with the name calling on FB. It’s so easy to want to tell someone they are an (expletive) idiot, but it doesn’t make it okay. So when someone called me an idiot on FB, it annoyed and stung a little. Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Please remember: name calling […]

I was watching a fantastic video of a woman on Humans of NY who was talking about how she’s always had to look after number one. The nuance I read in her story is that she lived a very hard life. Indeed her hard shell clearly protected a vulnerability that may have been exploited in […]

When we listen with fear, we only hear the threat behind the words. We are not really listening. When we listen with our hearts, sometimes we miss the logic and let our emotions take over. So it’s important to listen with empathy. We can step away from judgment that may be engaged with fear or […]

Either we accept that we are lucky in our more privileged than third-world lives, or we can compare ourselves to those who have more. Which one are you? Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Say it out loud “I’m Lucky”. Now go and manifest it. Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go. #SayItOutLoud […]

Human beings can rebound from pain. Some of the most inspiring stories come from those who have experienced great pain and loss. Today I was stung by a pesky wasp. I was just standing, not even moving, and it came up and took a chunk out of my arm. I wondered if it was a […]

Are you overwhelmed with your every day? Trying to keep your head above the water line? Me, too. I need a planner. And I am not talking about the journal kind (as much as I love @moleskine). I’m taking about the human kind. Someone who can swoop in and organize my future, starting now. Your […]

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 […]

There is this whole other world, brought to us by the select few of movers and shakers who can navigate a high stakes game of investment funding. As someone who has had some exposure to this world, I can tell you it’s quite intimidating. First off, there is this culturally relaxed disposition of an elite class […]

I was listening to a program on Ted Radio Hour with Guy Raz about parasites. The author and speaker Ed Yong shares his research and theory on how much influence parasites truly have over other life forms, including potentially humans. Apparently 1 in 3 people have Toxoplasmosis in their brains, and this parasite can redirect rats […]
