Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
Nearly one in four American workers over 50 say they feel pushed out of their jobs. Two out of three have seen or experienced age discrimination at work. These figures come from AARP’s newest 2026 survey, and here is the part that angers me: they have barely moved in two years. This fall, unemployed workers […]

A year-long diary sits on my desk. Every day has its own page, and every page holds my handwriting: what I’m doing today, what’s coming next week, what I hope for next spring. I’ve kept one for more than thirty years. No reminders ping. No app syncs. Just ink, paper, and a man who likes […]

Two words have been working in me: practical and impractical. Most of us use them to judge. That’s practical, so keep it. That’s impractical, so drop it. But I’ve come to see them as tools for thinking, simple enough to use every day and deep enough to change what we do. Here’s how. Take something […]

People use these two words as if they mean the same thing. They don’t. And knowing the difference can change how we respond. Boredom is restless. It has energy in it. You’re waiting in line, sitting through a dull meeting, wandering the house on a rainy afternoon. Boredom says, “I want something, and this isn’t […]

Doomscrolling. What a word. It means spending too much time reading, watching, and swiping through bad news. The thumb keeps moving while the spirit sinks.

Anne Frank was thirteen when her Jewish family went into hiding from the Nazis. For two years she lived in a few cramped rooms, knowing discovery could mean death. On March 7, 1944, she wrote: “I don’t think about all the misery, but about the beauty that still remains.” She wasn’t naïve. Her diary records […]

I am back on Saba after time away in France. Two different places and cultures. One of market days, old stone streets, the local cat coming to eat and say hello, and morning bread. The other of steep roads, green mountains, and Caribbean sea in every direction. This morning I am relearning my own kitchen. […]

Too often, the noise is all sagers hear. Retire. Step aside. Slow down. Quietly follow the aging herd out to the back pasture and wait. I know that noise well. At 58, I was shown the door. I followed the line to unemployment, into the fear of not knowing what my next job would be, […]

You sit down. You close your eyes. Within seconds the visitors arrive. A to-do list. A worry. The cat. A song you haven’t heard in thirty years. You think nothing is happening. I’m doing this wrong. I’m wasting my time. You’re not. I’ve meditated for 35 years, and rambunctious meditation busters still show up almost […]
