Noticing is Alert Mindfulness
Noticing is mindfulness – in terms of being alert and aware. Harvard professor Dr. Ellen Langer has done extensive research about Noticing and its importance. Margery founded The Did Ya Notice?® Project to speak and write about the art of Noticing (alert mindfulness) and its importance for leadership, teamwork, communications, and just plain living a full life.
What We Do
The Did Ya Notice?® Project, LLC was founded to encourage you to Notice the world around you while you go about your daily business of working and caring for your family, yourself, and your community. Noticing is mindfulness - being alert and in the moment. We need to look up from our screens sometimes because life is more than just a checklist! Noticing fosters creativity and your sense of humor. And Noticing is essential for good leadership.

The Did Ya Notice?® Project Gives Back to the Community
INDOMITABLE!
INDOMITABLE! tells the stories of thirty-two current asylum-seekers and immigrants to our country. The people whose stories are told came from all over the world. They left their homes to escape danger and persecution, or because the opportunities in their home countries were severely limited. These thirty-two people were chosen not because they are extraordinary, but because they are ordinary…ordinary people reacting to extraordinary circumstances. They came to this country for the opportunity to work hard and re-start their lives.

Community Story
A Beacon of Light is the 50 year history of the Falls Church-McLean Children’s Center, a non-profit, community-supported child care center that is the highest quality and diverse in all ways imaginable. Early childhood professionals may find it an interesting case study. This was a major volunteer gig for me the last year, and all proceeds of sales go to the Children‘s Center.
