You guys! Dog mom is in Virginia this week and got to see FOLIAGE! 🍁🍂 

As you know, we don’t get seasons in Florida. I am absolutely loving the colder weather in Virginia. It’s a whole 40 degrees cooler than Florida right now. It is supposed to rain today, but otherwise has been sunny and beautiful!

Nothing puts us in the fall vibe like a scented candle! 🕯️ Our favorite is the Pumpkin Harvest candle from @sand_and_paws_candles which also helps neutralize pet odors.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. And in honor of survivors everywhere, I’m sharing my story. I hope this action will help others share their stories so we can bring awareness and an end to sexual and intimate partner violence. #contentwarning 

If you’ve experienced sexual or intimate partner violence, please reach out to someone to talk. Call your local r*pe crisis center or one of the following confidential hotlines ⬇️

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1.800.799.SAFE (7233), text “START” to 88788 or chat via chat.thehotline.us

@rainn National Sexual Assault Hotline: 800.656.HOPE (4673) or chat online.rainn.org

If you have any questions about sexual or intimate partner violence that you’d like me to answer, please leave them down in the comments and I will do my best to answer them. If you’ve experienced s*xual violence or intimate partner violence or just want to show solidarity, please leave a 🩵 down below. 

With that being said, let’s do this: 

Hi. I’m Meg, and I’m a former victim of sexual and intimate partner violence.

You can find my story below in the comments 👇 

I see you. You’re not alone. We’re not alone.

What is the thing or things that quiet your mind?

For me, it’s two things. The first is being near water with my dogs. I’ll have to make a post about that another day. The other thing is baking for my dogs.

There are two reasons for this:

1) The physical act of baking helps me to clear my mind and focus on a task. It also provides some novelty to my day because I might use some new @lokidokidogshop cookie cutters or a new recipe. I also get to keep my hands busy!

2) Baking for the dogs gives me peace of mind because I know every ingredient that goes into their treats. I know that they’re eating quality ingredients and no fillers. I can also change up the recipes to add different nutrients and flavors. 

Funny enough, I would bake all day for my dogs, but I rarely ever bake for myself. 😂

Sometimes we all need a little reminder…

We’ve been going through a bit of a stressful time in the Mac household, but it’s also been a time to practice mindfulness. It’s been an important reminder to live in the present, to take each moment as it comes, and to never take any moment for granted.

Most importantly, it’s okay to not be okay. Our society too often expects us to push our feelings down, to act like everything is okay, to be productive above all else. But it’s so important to stop and assess how we’re feeling in any given moment. It’s when we don’t do that is when we’re most at risk of self-destructive behavior. We need to give ourselves permission to feel our feelings, to be mindful of how we’re reacting to our environment and our perceptions of events.

If you’re going through a difficult time, know that you’re not alone. We’re here for you. 🫶🏻

We’re proud to be new ambassadors for @ownyourstigma, an apparel brand created to open up the conversation around mental illness and help remove all shame, negativity, and guilt that our society has attached to it. I’m wearing their “You can talk to me about mental health and dogs shirt” and drinking from their “It’s okay to not be okay” campfire mug.

The life of an ADHD dog mom…is always forgetting what you went into the fridge for 🙃😅

Of course, I will close the fridge door, go back to where I’m prepping their bowls, and remember what I was looking for only to immediately forget again when I go back to the fridge. And repeat this process  2-3 more times. 

If you relate, tap that ♥️, share with someone else who gets it, too, and follow @pawsitivelyginny for more ADHD + dog-friendly content!

Did you know this about people with ADHD? 👀

According to research, the frontal lobes of the brain, which are central to ADHD and usually fully develop by the age of 25, don’t fully develop in people with ADHD until age 35. This means that people with ADHD mature at a slower rate than neurotypical people. Many will not match the emotional maturity of a 21-year-old until their late 30’s.

I was surprised to learn this, but it made a lot of sense to me. It made sense to me that, now at 36, my life felt very chaotic. And while many of my friends were building careers, starting families, and buying their first homes, I was still trying to figure out who I am and where I want my life to go.

This is part of my year of healing. I’m coming to terms with this part of my development, getting help, and creating strategies to build a life I can feel proud of.

I’m so grateful for all the amazing support we’ve received from our friends over the last several months and for your continued love and solidarity! And thank you for continuing on this journey with us!

Are you ADHD/neurodivergent or think you might be? Or do you just love dogs as much as we do? Either way, tap that follow and come chase dopamine with us!
