12 Habits 4 All of Us

10/23/2025

Founded by two grandmothers, who decided they needed to take action to bring back American decency and kindness. The premise of MAKA - Make America Kind Again to take the nastiness out of our social dialog so we can have conversations, not screaming matches.

When was the last time you convinced anybody of anything by screaming at them and calling them nasty names? Yeah. we thought so.

So our children are listening, and watching everything we do. What do you want the generations who follow us to emulate?

Get the new hat for America and Join us!

The MAKA - Make America KIND Again mission is all about encouraging mindful language and uplifting kindness, respect and dignity in American discourse...because, OUR CHILDREN ARE LISTENING.

October's Habit is BE PATIENT AND LISTEN

This month’s celebration color is Slow-down LAVENDER. Whenever I see the color LAVENDER, I feel quieter, more tuned to listening, and more connected to those who pass through my day. Lavender encourages calmness and tranquility of mind and is useful for both self-reflection and invoking a relaxed, meditative state.

Think about being patient and listening as safety measures when you are driving. The accident statistics attributed to “road rage” are sobering. Driving is a time to remember something a friend of mine once said, “Help everyone that you can, and if you cannot help them, at least don’t hurt them.” Drive carefully this month, with caring and respect for others on the road with you.

Mastermind Peace-In-Action Online Circles Have Been Suspended Indefinitely.

We know some of you were looking forward to resuming Mastermind Circles in October. However, we have made the difficult decision to indefinitely suspend the Mastermind Online Circles. The growing MAKA Movement has gained traction and requires all our effort and attention to nurture and grow. We may be mighty, but our team is still few in number, and can only maintain so many projects at the same time.

We were hoping that the Mastermind circles would grow and multiply, but that didn’t happen as we had hopped. We kind of saw this coming and knew that something had to give. We have to devote our time and resources to the initiative that demands our full attention.

We are grateful to the constant and loyal Masterminders that have been with us from the first Circles last year. The Mastermind Manual remains available to anyone desiring to start their own circles, and the Mastermind Video Archive will remain available to our online family.

Thank you for being a part of this project. We’d be thrilled if each and every one of you would become part of the MAKA Movement, bringing the 12 habits into our language and interactions, every day. YOU can help MAKA grow by telling your friends. Wear the hat and become a Beacon of Kindness!

With Kindness and Gratitude,

All of Us at All of us.

Something’s Cool is Coming...

We are working on a new initiative. Like everything we do, we try to make it fun and uplifting. We’ve all seen the startling disrespect, dishonesty, and cruelty that now permeates our political dialogue, spreading into every corner of our society.

This new project will go alongside and complement the 12 Habits and our Mastermind Circles, designed to encourage All of Us to come together and politely demand more respectful and civilized public dialogue from our leaders and public influencers. We have a plan to take on reversing the language trend that surrounds us today.

Stay tuned to get in on the good trouble we’re going to make, while having some fun along the way. We know that when we uplift public discourse, the issues that may divide us, will be less likely to bring harm.
..And It’s time for a new hat.

When everything’s ready, we're absolutely going to tell you all about it, and you’re all invited.

An idea worth sharing for March's Habit - Resolve Conflicts!

Another “Graduate Level” Humanity concept.

02/24/2025

Our Mastermind Circle on March 3rd, at 4pm PT / 7pm ET will be focusing our attention on March’s habit, Resolve Conflicts.

You Count leads into Resolve Conflicts. If we look at the BIG picture and realize that there is a place in it for each of us—then we have no choice but to be ourselves. If we were someone else, then there wouldn’t be anyone to fill our place. You are the only person who can be you. If you decide to be another “them” instead of “you,” your place will be left empty. Only you, being “you,” can fill your place and your shoes.

Join Us! It's fun and it's free! And you might pick up a good habit!

Our eyes – and hearts – were caught by this public service spot sponsored by the NFL itself. It goes directly to the point of February’s Habit, You Count. That we all matter and we all have worth.

“I am – Somebody. I may be young, but I am – Somebody! I may be small, but I am Somebody. My clothes are different. My Face is different. My hair is different. But I am – Somebody. I must be respected. Protected. Never rejected. But I am – Somebody! I am – Somebody!”

Every kid can be somebody, if they have somebody to show them the way. Demario Davis, Arik Armstead, and Adam Thielen partner with kids across New Orleans to...

We don’t believe in the “enemies game.” The imperative of our political and social landscape, especially on social media, is really invested in, as Sir John expresses, enemies. Essentially a list of the people it is okay to hate. The 12 Habits 4 All of Us movement, categorically reject this. This attitude is contrary to a society that is healthy, functional, and capable of solving the many many challenges facing humanity on earth.

We invite you to be uplifted and become part of a community of unifiers by attending Monday Night’s Masterminding Peace in Action Circle Monday – February 3rd at 4pm PT / 7pm ET.

We will be reviewing Help Others from December and then digging into February’s Habit, YOU COUNT, focusing on reminding ourselves that we matter, and each of us can make a difference!

This our Mastermind Circle will bring our focus from what we can do in for the people in our more immediate world and communities, back to our own places in this world. February’s Habit “You Count.” is about recognizing our own self-worth, affirms that we have value, and that we can make a positive difference in the world around us. By extension, if we can accept our own value, we must also recognize the worth of others.

Hope to see you!
