Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
The national discussion is pulling back the curtain on moral values. As I have stated in the past, Americans have selective hearing. Americans hear what suits them best and that is what they believe, not what the facts are. Americans have become tribal, all thanks to demagogue leaders that have taken over American politics. Our...

The news cycle is so full of horrible news in America that even political pundits and historians can hardly keep up. The distractions from tRump are deliberate although not calculated in any rhyme or reason. It’s just about revenge in a mean spirited manner. So, what do we do about it? Protesting is a good...

I have no words right now as I watch a video of a child, a little girl that is maybe 8 years old, crying for her parents that were taken away by ICE agents. Who will house her, feed her, take her to school? Instead of chasing people and treating them like subhumans, why can’t... Continue Reading →

I’m baaack! I must admit that the recovery from my January surgery was much more difficult than I had anticipated. Tired, nauseous, tired but I keep reminding myself that my abdominal organs are getting adjusted to how they are supposed to work. During recovery, my days were hectic with real estate, my sister here to... Continue Reading →
I am promising myself to be better about my blog posting for 2024. I want to be consistent in my weekly posts. Deeper conversations, outrageous humor, recipes I have not yet shared with my readers. Perhaps travel pictures since 2024 is going to be my year to seek new places to discover. As far as... Continue Reading →
Yes, let’s start the conversation. Let’s add a few other generations, too. I saw a post on Threads yesterday about feminism and women aging. Reading the comments today strikes a similar reply: senior women become invisible. On the other hand, most women commented about using our voices. Yes, that is the solution in a nutshell!...
