Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I had writers block this week! So much so that this blog post has been sitting in MS Word on my taskbar all week. Avoidance much? For those of you that know me well, you would be as surprised as I was earlier this week. November 4th would have been Paul’s birthday. Which is a... Continue Reading →
Six months after Paul died in 2014, I moved into a tiny house in the Art District in Garden City. 480 square feet cocooned me in a blanket as I grieved for months. It was perfect back then, a small space to make my own, a small space that allowed me the luxury of not... Continue Reading →
Dearest Friend, I still cannot believe you have left this earth for the next journey in this thing we call Life. It just does not seem possible that one day you were here and then soon thereafter, you are gone. But gone does not mean anything more than the physical, does it? I remember when...

Damn, just damnit. The passing of a friend before her time is weighing heavy on me since Friday. Not why but what the heck. Why are we so damn afraid of death? Isn’t it the circle of life? Isn’t death inevitable? We cry and mourn, and the experience weighs heavy on our shoulders. We also... Continue Reading →

I finished moving from my 480 square foot tiny house to a real place, 1,200 square feet featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage. Don’t laugh at my Realtor description, I can’t help it! I also had to admit that this was more emotional than any other move from my past. I... Continue Reading →
I am moving at the end of the month, so this weekend I have begun the packing process. First, you get the boxes and put them in the garage and just look at them. And then the only word that runs the rodeo in your head is “work”. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →
Back in 1999 at my first brokerage as a licensed agent in Boise, a gal named Janet told me her story of a daughter who died in a car accident. Sudden death is obliterating as I later found out 3.5 years ago when Paul died of complications from cardiac arrest. One thing Janet told me,... Continue Reading →
I don’t even know where and how and when to start this blog post. I had to say a bittersweet goodbye to my sweet dog, Zeke, this weekend. I had him just short of six years but those six years were full of smiles and laughter and f-u-n. I heard about a breeder that was... Continue Reading →
Looking back, two and half years later, I find myself in a life I did not expect and yet a life that I now embrace fully. I really thought I would grow old with Paul, doing daily activities together. It’s sort of me and my dog, Zeke, now. I have learned to say yes to... Continue Reading →
