Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
As of late, I am almost mesmerized by the quality of life lessons that have crossed my path since Paul died. With the sage advice of “sleep on it”, I have saved myself on more than one occasion. Reactions are rarely the best route when emotions are involved. I have learned there are things in... Continue Reading →
Don’t you just wish that a time or two in your lifetime you could answer back how you really feel? You know, say it with thought so that the other person doesn’t get it until later that day? This applies to those people in your life that just do not understand no matter what. This... Continue Reading →

I just finished one heck of a week. From my Monday night grief group, to gearing up for an annual event for Expedition Inspiration, followed by the profound wisdom of a good friend.

My journey of grieving has also meant receiving gifts from the other side. I have experienced a strengthening of friendships, some of which I made through Paul. And, surprisingly enough, new friends have reached out to share what he told them about me. These gifts from Paul have been a remarkable part of my journey.... Continue Reading →
We will all lose someone important in our lives: a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a dear friend. We will all deal with that grief in a different way with each person that passes.
