  Maggie and I are so proud of our 1st children's book MaggieMooseTracks® Making Friends for kids age 6 up. It is getting published within our eyesight! Our book is to be published both on Kindle (also iBook) and paperback. This fictionalized adventure with Maggie as a puppy with moose antlers is for all the children around the world. The full color illustrations will astound and amaze. Maggie and I hope that its inspirational message of acceptance, courage and hope will fill their hearts (and adults) with love.

The seeds of wanting to help other children began many years ago when I discovered a charity called St. Joseph's Indian School for Lakota (Sioux) children in need. These children come from abusive situations and poverty. The school nourishes them through education and cultural preservation in a safe haven. I thought to myself that one day when I had the opportunity I wanted to give back in a bigger way than my humble donations throughout the years. Maggie's coming into my life sparked that desire into reality, because she's all about love of life and children. Her wiggle butt tells it all to those who adore her!

MaggieMoose Swims In The Sea of Love

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

“Just like a sunbeam can't separate itself from the sun, and a wave can't separate itself from the ocean, 

we can't separate ourselves from one another. 

We are all part of a vast sea of love....” 

Marianne Williamson

  It is Tuesday. Love Day. Maggie and I are Facebook friends with St. Joseph's Indian School in South Dakota. This school all about making a difference for Lakota (Sioux) kids in need. Without financial support these amazing kids might be homeless, hungry and living in abusive situations. We feel their love across the miles. We send our love and support back to them. Maggie and I love that at while living at St. Joseph's Indian School their are able to experience the love of learning their Lakota (Sioux) culture. Weekly on the St. Joseph's Indian School Facebook page they have a "Lakota word" for the day. Maggie is learning quite a few new words. Thank you kids! One of our favorite words is Wacantoognaka (Wah chan tay ogna kay) = Generosity/Generous with the Heart ♥ Maggie likes to be generous with her heart. She shares her love of twigs with me, her tennis balls, and her 50 lb. body as she plops down on me. If we are all in a sea of love Maggie thinks the least we can do is plunge in and swim with a generous heart....

Soaring Spirits

Maggie's pawsability thought for the day:

"The ones that matter the most are the children."

  Looking down on the ground at some big mushrooms popping through the earth's surface made me think of the Lakota (Sioux) children of St. Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota. I was thinking of how these Lakota (Sioux) kids' precious roots stem from such dark adversities as parental alcoholism, poverty, and hunger. Yet, their spirits soar when hope, love, and warmth surround them. They get their nourishment for their spirits to soar at St. Joseph's Indian School. The Lakota way is taught to them.

In America, the supposed land of opportunity, many, many Lakota children of the plains are suffering. The Lakota youth suicide rate is rampant; 10 times the national average. Maggie and I encourage others to contribute and help these children stay safe, warm and loved. There are two few spots for the Lakota kids at St. Joseph's Indian School, and the waiting list is long. Maggie and I support St. Joseph's Indian School, because we believe the children are what matters most.
