About Kathy McGuire and the Inspiration for the Daily Minute

My name is Kathy McGuire. I have been a teacher all my life (even as a child) and it is my natural gift. Since I retired after 32 years as a public school teacher, I have been involved in many activities- some for fun and some for service.

One day I was at a group meditation for world peace and I became inspired. I could suddenly see a way that I could make the world a better place.

I envisioned people imagining a better world using just 1 minute of each day. I know that individual people are doing this all the time but I saw a new element. I saw that they would consciously know that they are not alone but are part of a group doing the Daily Minute.

I also realized that the Daily Minute cannot be done in a certain way but that each individual would choose the way that works best for them. Then it would be a universal practice that could be used by anyone of any cultural tradition.

That’s how the idea of the Daily Minute came to me and I created the 1 Daily Minute website to be the heart of this inspiration. People from all over the world can use this website to learn about the Daily Minute and to find resources to get more people involved.

So now it is my mission to inspire people to do the Daily Minute and for them to inspire the people they know to do it too.

It might seem unrealistic to envision millions of people doing the Daily Minute but unrealistic things have become a reality before.

So I’m going to have faith in my inspiration and do my best to make it real!
