Dog-Gone Love

Pleasantries dogs, love, pets, relationships, travel Leave a comment Maggie

People say that if you want to experience true, unconditional love you should get a dog. I say be careful about what kind of dog you get because they might just break your heart. I have three dogs at present and I would say only one truly provides unconditional love. One of the dogs is…

Changes and Changes and Changes

Pleasantries acceptance, changes, children, minivans, parenting, seasons 1 Comment Maggie

Everything changes. That is an overused platitude that is supposed to be a comfort when you are uncomfortable with a shift, or suddenly moved from one state of being to another. The new place might be just fine but you aren’t used to it and you have to adjust. ‘Everything changes,’ someone will say as…

Today at Walmart

Pleasantries America, consumption, judgement, perspective, Target, Walmart Leave a comment Maggie

I had never been to Walmart. I have never been to a lot of places so I didn’t, in particular feel like I was missing out on something big. I just hadn’t been to Walmart. I go the grocery store, and the stores that we used to call drug stores (I don’t know what they…

Shake-up shake-down

Pleasantries acceptance, identity security, responsibility, truth, understanding Leave a comment Maggie

I received an email the other day, actually I receive emails everyday but this one I found particularly interesting because it said it would help me live a more secure life knowing my identity was safe. Honestly I feel pretty safe in my current identity, not having any sense that I don’t know who I…

Focus Here

Pleasantries fear, focus, Lululemon, personal growth, transformation, yoga Leave a comment Maggie

I really enjoy yoga. Create whatever image in your head that coincides with that statement. I don’t wear or like Lululemon. I think they are pretty much antithetical to what yogic philosophy is all about. So now go ahead and modify the image from before.. I don’t do “hot” yoga or power yoga or competitive…

Deny, Deny, Deny, Blame

Pleasantries Ashley Madison, lying, personal growth, relationships, responsibility, truth Leave a comment Maggie

Have we ever had a time in history where the dominant cultural norm was to take responsibility for your actions? Has integrity ever really mattered or do we just romanticize the idea and look back fondly thinking, well back in those days… Was there a time when a handshake was good enough and if you…

It’s Up in the Air

Pleasantries choices, flying, manners, personal growth, travel Leave a comment Maggie

Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do. Sometimes it’s not. Are you going on a date with that guy you kind of like? Not sure, it’s up in the air. Going to buy the new shoes that are a great deal but you don’t really need? Hard to say, up in the air. Where…

Twenty and long…

Pleasantries acceptance, choices, honesty, love, marriage, patience, personal growth Leave a comment Maggie

Mere days ago my husband and I celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. We agreed that is didn’t feel like we had been married for a long time. A lot of stuff has happened for sure, but it just doesn’t feel long. I said, “I just feel like I know you really well.” He said, “yep,…

On Sale Now

Pleasantries, Recovery acceptance, mistakes, perfection, personal growth, shopping Leave a comment Maggie

Recently I ordered a few things online from a brand that I like. Nothing I needed, just a few things I wanted. And I was quite pleased with my purchases when they came, until today. Today I got an email alert letting me know that all sale items were now 25% off in addition to the…

Sugar, Sugar

Uncategorized dogs, emotional growth, fear, personal growth, understanding Leave a comment Maggie

Sugar Bear – what can I say. It’s been over six months and he definitely knows us but I don’t think he has truly settled into believing, deeply believing that we are for real. Relationships are hard, especially when you don’t speak the same language and so there is no way for us to reassure…
