Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Today was a tough day listening to the Epstein survivors speak about their trauma from the past when they were minors and/or college aged young women. One after the other spoke about what took place that robbed them of their right to be a functioning woman let alone teenager. One after the other spoke about... Continue Reading →
11 days ago, no wait, probably 30 days ago, I kept telling myself I was not scared. Multiple times a day. You know what? I really wasn’t scared of open-heart surgery. I was going to get fixed! Sure, it was going to hurt but I am too young to die so let’s do this! Then,... Continue Reading →
There must be something in the water at Saint Alphonsus Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. I’m not kidding, either. Believe it or not, I had the distinct pleasure of two different staycations in a thirty-day period. Two good outcomes: I finally got to the bottom of why I have been feeling lackluster.

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!

The old familiar can become new again and watching that joy is catching. The same goes for me the past... Continue Reading →
Yesterday afternoon I had a Clothing Exchange party, or my way of shopping on my birthday without spending a dime! I am really celebrating my 20 years cancer free, from breast cancer in my late 30’s. My besties from the years I have lived here in Boise showed up and the plan was to drop... Continue Reading →
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 “itâ€? What is “it†anyway?  I must be experiencing a coming of age at this point in... Continue Reading →
