Magi and kids 1994

Magi, Brian and Alison in Middelharnis, The Netherlands, 1994.  The picture was taken by Jan Speelpenning.

Magi is working towards world peace.    "I would like to see parents teach their children intrinsic values such as honor and integrity,  as well as the power of personal responsibility.  If we can train our children to think about what they personally would do to have things be different and take the steps to implement these changes,  then we would take a vital and important step towards eradicating blame and "victim-hood".    There is too much tendency to blame and complain about circumstances in our lives,  yet nothing ever truly changes.  It is much more productive to see a complaint as an opportunity to clarify my wants,  and create whatever path will yield this want.   This capacity to think and respond according to what honors people is the gift I intend to pass on to my children.  This is one of the ways to world peace."
