Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I have been a bit down in the emotional dumps as of late. It is coming up on the one year mark since my life was turned upside down. So much happened, so much has taken place since then. Eventually life goes on and so does life for everyone else. When that happens, those left... Continue Reading →
This weekend I found myself in the throes of feelings of loneliness of the grieving period. Which leads me to ask myself, how can I possibly even think that I am “alone†when I have so many friends, when I have terrific siblings, when I even have great neighbors?

I learned long ago after reading Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, about giving a gift each day.

Life is that journey and mine has been quite a... 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 →
Ah, the joy of unpacking! No, really, I am having a delightful time unpacking, savoring memories as I open boxes of my treasures, my books, my kitchen tools. Treasure troves of silly knick knacks I have saved over the years are now going to the Do Not Need box. Two of my favorite chairs just... Continue Reading →
