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…

In defense of the Electoral College

Pleasantries choices, Electoral College, politics, responsibility Leave a comment Maggie

I don’t think anyone who knows me would think that I am happy about the election result, but just in case you wonder I will be explicit and say I am not happy about the result. For many, many, many reasons I was (and am) a supporter of Hillary. And I did a little to…

This Land is My Land…

Pleasantries Bundy, Oregon, private property, public land, responsibility, sharing Leave a comment Maggie

…this land is your land, from California to the New York Island, from the redwood forest to the gulf stream wa-a-ters, this land was made for me and you. Sing along, go ahead I know you want to: as I was walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me and endless skyway I saw…

Idle Hands

Pleasantries boys, Puritans, radicalization, responsibility, tolerance, war Leave a comment Maggie

Three times in my life I have felt uncomfortable walking around. I should start here by saying I love to walk, and I believe that walking is really the best way to get to know where you are, feel the vibe, experience the culture. I have walked all over. In cities across the US, in…

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…

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…

Yes I Know, and also You Suck!

Pleasantries airplanes, responsibility, security, swiss army knife, travel, TSA Leave a comment Maggie

I screwed up. I know I screwed up and the resulting unhappiness is entirely my own fault. And I’m still irritated at the TSA or whatever the version of the TSA person working on the US side of the Canadian border and yet wearing an “I’m from Canada” or whatever badge and vest ensemble is.…
