I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life’s a bitch. You’ve got to go out and kick ass.— Maya Angelou

More than once, at different people’s homes, I have been served chocolates or wine I gave as host gifts months or even a year before. I know that once given, a gift is no longer under my control. But I feel rejected when this happens, as if my gifts weren’t worth consuming or serving to other guests. Am I oversensitive, or are my hosts being rude? STUART
I have to echo Philip Galanes “Let’s wheel back to the bigger picture. Host gifts are tokens of thanks for often larger gestures of hospitality, like feeding us dinner or inviting us for the weekend. The circuit is complete when the gift is made and the visit ends.” What I do with my gift is up to me. I have been known to set aside certain bottles of wine or chocolates, as the guest has raved about it, and I have found it thoughtful to share it with them on a one on one. I have also been known to regift with the line “Someone gave me this I thought you would enjoy it more.”
Yoga, especially when I don’t feel like it. It calms and centers me like nothing else. -Mindy Ratliff

Friday, September 5 I signed up for a blog site with the help of_____________ . After some going back and forth on what to title my blog, we decided on Real Life of an MSW (straight forward no chaser). I do hope you approve of the title. The name came about because at my professional core I am a social worker, and this platform will be about the life of a master level social worker, not a licensed level clinical social worker (albeit I am one). I want to shed some light on that title in case individuals are thinking about becoming one. This journey ain’t been no crystal stair, but it has also proven anything worth having you have to put in some work. Nothing wonderful ever appears to come easy, despite how badly we want it. My plan for the blog is to post maybe twice a week. A part of me thinks I am moving too fast, another part of me is like if you move any slower a sloth will be passing you up, and you will never get this done so take the leap and fly. fly. I ask that you guide and direct me.
