Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
You may wonder why I write about ageing so frequently. Why I built a philosophy — a vocabulary, a movement — around growing older. Why I coined words like Vintageness and Sagerism. Here’s the answer. I’m 74 years old. I’ve lived on a Caribbean island for fourteen years. I became a certified career and life […]

Look around you. Not at what is new and clamoring for your attention. Look at what has stayed. What has endured. What people return to, preserve, treasure, and pass forward with a kind of quiet, profoundly moving reverence that the brand new rarely earns. The world, when you look at it this way, is full […]

I’m not denying. Not running from… Ageing. I’m exploring and living it with curiosity, imagination, purpose and a certain creative delight. Because ageing is real, it’s part of all our lives, and there is something about it that culture must further discover and define. So I’m expanding it. Deepening it. Adding a word alongside it […]

At 74, I know something most younger people spend enormous energy avoiding: time is finite. And oddly enough, knowing that — really knowing it — is one of the most liberating things that has ever happened to me. The shift for me wasn’t dramatic. There was no crisis, no dark night of the soul. I […]

Shame arrives uninvited. That hot flush of embarrassment, the sick weight of knowing you did something wrong — foolish, perhaps, or dishonorable. Maybe even immoral. You want to disappear. Don’t. Shame is one of the most useful feelings you will ever have — if you let it teach you rather than destroy you. Here’s what […]

There is a proverb — often attributed to Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese strategist and author of The Art of War — that stops me in the most curious and inspiring way every time I hear it. “If you sit by the river long enough, the body of your enemy will float by.” The meaning […]

Every great story begins with a single sentence that grabs you by the collar and whispers — stay. “Who’s there?” — Shakespeare, Hamlet — and suddenly you’re standing in the dark, afraid of what the shadows might answer. “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” — Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca — and you […]

Every transaction is a strategy. Every negotiation is a move on the board. Understanding that is the difference between winning and wondering what went wrong. Here’s something every seller learns eventually — the negotiation is never just about the price. Watch what happens in real estate and you’ll see human nature on full display. Someone […]

I’ve met people who seemed born to punish. Vindictive to their core. And I’ve caught myself thinking: maybe some people are just wired for cruelty. That thought is seductive because it lets me off the hook. If they’re monsters by design, I don’t have to struggle with the harder truth—that goodness exists in all of […]

We dismiss them as old-fashioned. Quaint sayings our grandparents used. Filler language. But idioms and proverbs aren’t decorative – they’re compressed wisdom. Survival instructions that got passed down because they worked. “You made your bed, lie in it” isn’t about bedding. It’s about accountability, tested across countless consequences, refined until it stuck. “What goes around […]
