Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
I love the line. I don’t trust it. “If you build it, they will come” sounds good. It has faith and hope in it. What it leaves out is focusing on the work. Before, during, and after. Nobody just builds. You plan first — step by step, the unglamorous part nobody puts in the movie. […]

“Noodling” is one of those words that seems like a throwaway until you actually look under the hood, and then it turns out to be a whole little universe of wonder. I was noodling the other day, jotting down random thoughts for a blog post, no plan, just following one idea into the next, when […]

We treat surprise as rare, a special occasion. But surprise is everywhere, waiting for us to notice it and even rediscover it. Turn on the tap. Water arrives in both cold and hot forms. Summoned from somewhere unseen, traveling through pipes and pumps and decisions made by people we’ll never meet, just so we can […]

What’s one habit of yours? Good or bad. Those are the only two choices — no hiding in “it’s complicated. And not really a habit.” Be brave. Name it. Mine: I write and publish every day. That’s the good one. It costs me nothing but time, and it gives me back a self I recognize […]

There is a difference between intention and commitment. Intention lives in good weather. Commitment lives in the storm. “Come hell or high water” strips away the conditions. Not I’ll try. Not as long as things go smoothly. It is a promise that survives the exact circumstances that would permit anyone to quit. I know this […]

Some gratitude is new — a surprise, a gift unearned. But there is another kind: familiar gratitude. I have been here before. I return, not because I must, but because it matters. Every day I am grateful for my partner. 31 years now. Not routine. Not rote. Familiar in the truest sense: I know this […]

If a plant needs water and you can give it, do so. If your body needs a doctor, make the call. If your pets need food and grooming, give it to them. That’s tending to what depends on you. But people are different. People have will. And sometimes the choice isn’t whether you can help […]

Empathy doesn’t disappear in the dark moments. It’s not that fragile. It’s a choice. Made again, and again, especially when things are hard. Compassion for ourselves. Compassion for the people we love. And the harder one — compassion for strangers, who ask us for nothing and owe us nothing back. Saying yes to that is […]

“Un.” Two letters. That’s all it takes. Add this small prefix to “known,” and the whole word turns inside out. Unknown. It’s not wordplay. It’s a small mechanism with enormous reach that creates change. We treat “known” as solid ground. The unknown as the shaky part, the thing to plan around, brace for. But look […]

There is a lazy that is theft. Capable hands and mind that choose to steal away the day from working. And there is a lazy that is grace. A gift the day gives you, and you say yes. Here is the second kind as I feel it with all my being. 3:30 in the garden. […]
