Hello, and welcome to Goat Thing of the Day, a weekly series that tosses, crosses and spaghetti sauces.
A Goat Game!
Have you ever heard of the Goat Game?
It’s one of those juxtapositional things that sounds like something for kids, but it’s meant for adults who have a history of bad relationships, even abusive ones. It’s intended as a playful and fun method of connecting with others while developing positive dating and relationship skills and guidelines. Some of the issues that are addressed in the game are:
- Flirting without coming on like a tease.
- Interacting with the opposite sex in a confident manner.
- Recognizing dysfunctional patterns.
- Attracting healthier relationships.
- Enjoying being single rather than feeling desperate to find a partner.
- Identifying our own baggage.
- Maintaining healthy boundaries.
Peggy Kligman, the designer of the game was inspired to create it after going through some rough stuff herself. Now she’s helping people and I applaud her for it. Here she is, hanging out with some goaty friends.
(Thanks, Peggy!)
Goats in the News
Yet another example of goats as lawn mowers.
This story on Yahoo mentions Eco-Goats, the latest graze in Maryland.
