Hello hello!

Over the past weeks and months, I’ve been bouncing around to a few different places, sometimes with internet connection, and sometimes not.  Today, I do have internet connection.

I thought I’d say a quick hello while I could today.

Hello!

(that’s my version of a quick hello, ha ha ha)  🙂

Okay, so with all silliness invited, I also wanted to introduce you to a good friend of mine.  Her name is Maizy, and she has been bouncing around with me lately.  Not many people have met Maizy yet.  She’s a little shy, and she doesn’t really get out much.  But Maizy is a kind-hearted Maizy, and maybe with a little encouragement, she just might be willing to spend a little time with you.

I was hoping that maybe just maybe Maizy could share some of her aMaizyng Maizy adventures with you, especially with some of the DID kids of the world.  There are always lots of fun things to learn and share with kids who have seen too much pain and sorrow and troubles in their young lives.  Maybe Maizy can become a helpful and comforting friend to those kids too?

Would you kids like to meet Maizy and hear stories about how she gets through her tough times in life?

Hey Kids!!  Would you like to hear some aMaizyng Maizy stories?

Maizy is wonderful. She really is.  Do you think Maizy is a little yellow cow?   hmmm, is Maizy a dinosaur?  I’m just not sure what Maizy is, but she is a sweet little Maizy, that’s what.

I think I can encourage Maizy to share some of her life experiences with you all.

With the help of Emma.  

Before she comes out here on her own, Maizy wants you to see her with her friend Emma.

Do you remember Emma?

Have a little peek at a few blogs back.  Emma has had her picture in here a few times already.  Emma Girl is very sweet and enormously precious to me. 

Emma knows.  She isn’t fooled by anyone.

As far as I am concerned, Emma is one of the most beautiful pug dogs in the whole wide world.  Anybody that’s ever heard Emma knows that she snorts and sneezes and snitzles and schwizchles with the biggest variety of puggy noises.  Emma has a wonderful heart and she is a very very smart puggy with a great big vocabulary, and she can sniff out the very best in anybody and everybody. 

And Emma knows Maizy.

A picture can show it better than I can, so I’m including some pictures of when Emma first met Maizy. 

As you can see, Emma gave Maizy a very good look and checked her out carefully.  Emma is not easily tricked and she only friends up with those that are safe and good, and have kindness in their hearts.  Even when kids don’t know that they have good hearts, Emma can sniff out the good in them.  Emma knows.  She knows that lots of kids are good kids.

You can see in the pictures that Emma gave Maizy a good thorough check.  Emma was not sure at first, but she looked and sniffed and woofed and looked and sniffed and woofed some more.  Finally, Emma decided Maizy was a pretty good Maizy, that Maizy.

Emma knows that it is important to check very carefully when you meet someone new. 

She knows to not rush head-over-heels too quickly when first meeting someone.  Good, solid relationships take a lot of time to build and develop, and the super-speed attraction approach is often not so safe, and/or it ends up crashing too quickly with emotional overload and overwhelming intensity.  Emma knows to not say too much, and she knows to not disclose too much personal information when first meeting someone.  She knows it is important to make sure someone is not pretending to be someone that they are not, and that often takes a fair bit of time to figure all that out.

Emma says not to rush into building any kind of relationship with anyone! 

She says it is more important to ask more questions to the other person than it is to tell information about you.  The more you know about the other person, the better you can decipher if he or she is a safe person or not.

It’s important to be careful, and to know that there are people out there in the world that are not going to be kind to you.  Please protect yourself and guard your little ones carefully while you are getting to know who the other person is.

So with all those self-protection cautions in mind, here’s Maizy.

Hi Maizy!
