Wild Willy the Mischievous Goat

 By, Becky Davis

The pigs were done grunting, the ducks were done quacking, the sheep were done bleating, and the horse his eating. Evening had set on Hancock farm. Wild Willy the mischievous goat went out for a twilight stroll. He looked here and there and found that the humans had left the door slightly ajar. "Well, they are asleep... They wouldn't even know I went inside." he remarked to himself. Willy stepped inside and saw the ugliest thing that he had ever seen! It looked like it's face was squished in. "Ew! What on earth are you?"  The cat was indignant! He hissed in reply, "I am a Persian cat! Did you know my ancestors lived with royalty?" "Didn’t know, and still don't care!" snickered the goat. "Get out of this house and once!" roared the cat. Willy ignored him and went into the living room. Crash! Willy knocked down a small bookshelf which crashed down and shattered the glass coffee table. "Whoopsie daisies!" chuckled Willy nonchalantly. "This ruckus is making me hungry! Let's see what Pop's got in the fridge!" He scurried down the hallway to the kitchen and opened the fridge. "Get out of there!" growled the cat. "You're lucky I'm not a meat eater!" said the goat. The cat looked astounded and scampered off. He went through and found onions, carrot, radishes, lettuce, cauliflower, and broccoli. "All my favorites!" bleated the hungry goat. "And I'm not such a bad cook! In fact, I got a B.A.D in everything." He said proudly. He carried the ingredients and put them on the table. He spun the stove on high and placed a large pot with his carrot in it. Then he got some tin foil and wrapped the broccoli in it and shoved it in the microwave. "I'll be right back."  He said. He left to get some water from his pen.  (Since he couldn't figure out the sink) He came back inside and found the kitchen on fire! "MY MEAL!"  he yelled in distress. "I will have to go back to the garden to get some more grub." He walked out to the garden and closed the door behind him. BEEP! BEEP!  BEEP! The fire alarm was set off by the goat's catastrophe. The people jumped out of bed to see what the matter was. "Lucius!" screamed the lady, "What have you done you bad cat?" The fire got bigger and bigger and burnt down the entire house! "I knew that cat was trouble!" said Willy. Later the people moved to a new farm. And they took Wild Willy with them...

Insecurity- What lies beneath the masks       So what did you discover in identifying your root mask last week? It was tough for me to write about things I thought I’d dealt with long ago. The anger, hurt and frustration I felt as I wrote showed me clearly that I had more work to do. Those emotions were just buried down deep, only to resurface disguised as reactions to new rejection—real or imagined. Just the same fears rearing their ugly heads, yet again.        I hope you’ve identified some ways to come out from behind that root mask, and to begin dealing with the tangle of emotions and experiences you’ve been covering up. I have been reading “So Long Insecurity,” by Beth Moore to help me with the process. It is a fabulous discussion of the many facets of insecurity and the ways it shows up in our behavior. As I read I became even more convinced that the masks we wear are a cover for those insecurities. Self-doubt or self loathing, ...

The "Happy Fat Kid" Mask I’ve decided to dive right in to what is probably the hardest mask of mine to face, and the one I have been wearing the longest— “the happy fat kid” mask.   Yes, I was and I am FAT! Less so in recent months, but I am not on the “plus size” or “curvy” side of the scale yet. I know that for many of you that word may be offensive, but why sugar coat it?   I am overweight, obese, heavy, and yes, fat. I use this word here because that is how the world sees folks like us, and if we are honest with ourselves, it is the word that we use to describe ourselves in our minds—even if we never say it out loud. I don’t remember ever being thin. I have pictures of a slimmer me, but in my mind I have always been overweight. I became aware that I was different when I started kindergarten, and got worse when I hit first grade. I went to a small Catholic school and I was “the fat kid.” Plus I had to wear uniforms that were definitely not flattering t...

Hi, my name is Jenn. Seven months ago I made a major decision that changed my life –especially the way I look at myself and the world around me. I realized I’d been living life from behind a collection   of masks, hiding my true self and projecting what I wanted the world to see. We can’t be completely honest and open all the time; we all wear masks to some degree, but I’m facing the fact that mine have been so ingrained in me for so long that I don’t know if the real me is different from the masks I’ve worn. Through this blog I aim to figure out if I’ve merely settled for being the person I’ve portrayed to the world, or if there’s more to me, more to who I really am. I’m embarking on a journey of self re-discovery, one I would like to share with you. Whether this blog is read by an audience of one or a million, I’m writing it to achieve some major goals for myself. First, it will be a way for me to work out this new life I’ve started, and begin to discover the real me. T...
