My friend text’d me last Friday night to tell me that Thich Nhat Hanh had died. I thought he died a year ago. I saw later that he was 95. I am certain he is very much ‘alive’.
The retreat I mention in this post was a silent, vegan Buddhist retreat that I thought was a five day workshop for educators on Mindfulness.

I have a brand for my brand: Be A Good Person. A year ago, the Be A Good Person brand was asking for responses as to what it meant to ‘be a good person’. My response? Be a goodness person. The 2022 blog year is spotlighting content taken from 2021 Instagram Videos. Today’s post is…

Last night, the nugget crumbs led me to a NY Times article dated 9.11.2020 by Richard Sandomir. I learned that one of my favorite influences, Ken Robinson, died in August of 2020. It surprised me. The article included this quote from his daughter: He’d tell teachers that they are the system, and that if you…

I’m a hack. I know I’m a hack. I create. I definitely create. I love to create. But I hack my way to a desired outcome. I use multiple tools and resources available to get to an end. I love what I post when I post it. Sometimes (often times) I watch or see something I posted and I don’t like it. I let it go. I’m on to the next thing.

Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People): The leader is IN me. I am in charge of me. I lead my thinking. I lead my feeling. I lead my actions. I am a choicemaker and a problem solver. Now THIS is me.

The familiar pattern can still show up, but it feels far away. There is space. I notice it. I even engage with it. It doesn’t consume me like it used to. I am in charge even when I allow the pattern to play. I am super curious about patterns of behavior so I watch it. I learn from it. I also talk to myself the same way an adoring adult would talk to a beloved child or pet. I know it will exhaust itself, and I will grow in away that continues to sustain a healthy sense of wellbeing.
