The Parable of the Influencer

This was a hard time to live in because the people who made the pictures would tell others how to get a life that looked like the pictures which mostly involved buying things they told you to buy.

The Bird in the Wall (and other construction surprises)

Pleasantries birds, choices, construction, remodeling, seasons, tolerance Leave a comment Maggie

Our house is over fifty years old. We have owned it for nearly fourteen years and we have had the happy coincidence of meeting (now knowing) the original builders so we feel very connected to the house even though it has been “ours’ for a relatively short period.

What’s Your Goal?

Pleasantries acceptance, choices, responsibility, tolerance Leave a comment Maggie

In the work I do I am often called on to ask an individual or a group: what are you trying to accomplish? It’s not a brilliant question, in fact it is the kind of thing you often just take for granted –surely this has been considered before embarking on an action. Right? Well the…

Pleasantries choices, Silicon Valley, Start-ups, truth, work Leave a comment Maggie

For the last two years, in addition to the other work I do, I have been a part of a “start-up.” The word “start-up” seems to be Silicon Valley speak for unprofitable company, or maybe technology based company but I don’t really know what is not technology based anymore. I have a friend who works…

Again?

Pleasantries America, choices, guns, hate, Hillary, Trump, understanding Leave a comment Maggie

Another shooting. An horrific shooting. Lives lost, lives changed, new terror. Again. Since the shooter is dead we can’t ask, “so what exactly lead you to this point?” We can make assumptions, we can infer and guess but we can’t totally know and I’m not sure it even really matters. The people who are injured,…
