I hate it when people try to sell me on something when they’re really using a thin veil of lies to cover the real truth. Like when you get those calls about the warranty on your car. 

“I’m calling you about very important information regarding your car’s extended warranty” says robo-call in her monotonous voice. 

Except robo-call isn’t selling me a warranty. Oh no, she wants to pocket thousands so she can take her cash winnings to Vegas or go buy some Bitcoin or an NFT.

You know who else is deceiving you with their "product"? Every so-called weight loss expert out there.

Here's an example straight from a fellow life coach: "we will be learning how to embrace and love our bodies. To eat in a way that fuels our bodies because we love them. To reward our bodies for all the hard work they do with the kind of care our bodies crave". 

Oh, that’s a good one. Did you see what she did there? She wrapped her diet program promising...

I had 5 pairs of eyes staring me down waiting for an answer. (The 6th pair of eyes luckily doesn't know how to do this....yet.)

They'd spent the better part of six months begging me. 

The object of their desire was everywhere we went. On every corner, every road, and in every park. 

We'll do everything! You won't have to do anything! This will be the best thing EVER! 

Fine. Fine. Fine. 

We'll go on the waitlist for a puppy. 

<<Insert squeals of joy and happy dancing>>

Let's be real, they were trying to convince the lady with six kids. The one who adores babies and cuddles. They didn't have to work too hard. 

Our pandemic puppy will likely arrive this summer or fall. Her name is already picked out. Her best friends are already waiting for her. 

This rmade me think of a book we just finished about man's best friend written by Katherine Applegate called, The One and Only Bob. It's the second book of a must read series even...
