Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
The past five days have been spent working less, relaxing more. This took driving to not only a different zip code but another area code. Two area codes to be exact! This was the first road trip I took by myself in years – well, with Zeke my rastadoodle in tow – with no intention... Continue Reading →
Looking back at 2015, I am astonished by my resilience from a year filled with circumstances one typically watches in a movie with the tragic twist. Talk about the plot thickening as each month unfolded! But get through it I did, and I eventually recognized just how strong a woman I am. And yet, I realized... Continue Reading →
On Sunday I gave in to my craving for lemon pomegranate cookies and used almond flour, just to experiment. I am here to tell you that the cookies are delicious, but more cake-like that cookie texture. I tried, right? Now I have a few dozen of chewy, soft lemony cookies that melt in my mouth....

It occurred to me this morning that it is one month short of a year since Paul died. In this past year, I have found myself living life to the fullest. I went to every Idaho Shakespeare play with my friend, Jane Suggs. Jane even commented it was a special way for the two of... Continue Reading →
Getting it right in life, what does that really mean? For me, life can be as simple and pure by just being happy and grateful. I watch others complicate their lives by thinking they have to have “it”? What is “it” anyway? I must be experiencing a coming of age at this point in... Continue Reading →
This past weekend was the Celebration of Life for Paul, and it all went perfectly! Paul’s brother and two sisters flew in from different corners of the country as well as friends from college and friends he went to baseball camps or spring training that he kept in touch with. To me, this is the... Continue Reading →
I passed up going out on a Friday night to finish setting up my vegetable garden, mixing dirt and inoculated vermi char (click link to find out what it is). I went to great lengths, well dollars, to make sure my garden will be 100% organic this year, too. I am dreaming of sun ripened... Continue Reading →
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 →
