Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Since the 2016 Election, we have been inundated with fake this and fake that. Why do we believe that something that has always been a “go to†source is now “fake†when someone is who holds power tells us that? Is life now based on Fear? Aren't  we better than that? Are we no longer doing... Continue Reading →
A few years back, I wrote about listening to Boise again. I was hanging out in McCall a great deal, and when I moved my mindset back to Boise, I slowly but surely became reacquainted with Boise. It was as if I had just moved to town, I was taking it all in with brand... Continue Reading →
Last week was spent with my sister, the baby of the family. That is a weird phrase to use considering we are both past the M word (menopause). We had a great time, and learned a bit about each other in the process. You see, I was 18 when I moved out and she was... Continue Reading →
This past weekend I took it upon myself to put together committee descriptions for a non-profit that I volunteer for. The fact that we do not have staff makes us a working board as well as an all-volunteer organization. So, who does what? We are growing, so the time had come to begin the conversation...

Sometimes I have to give myself a palm to forehead slap. I have to knock the sense back into place in that stubborn mind of mine. Life can be just like a tug of war in life, especially when you are a strong person like myself. I now need more than I am asking for... Continue Reading →
I had a heck of a week the past seven days. Monday brain MRI. Tuesday meet with neurosurgeon. Then, met with veterinarian cardiologist for Zeke.

I have a second brain MRI today, and I am a bit nervous about learning the results. Well, I need to know what is going on, I need to make decisions, I need to move on. I want this damn tumor out of my head. It’s benign. That is what gets me over the anxiety.... Continue Reading →
I realized last week that my siblings and I did not acknowledge our parent’s anniversary. Which is my crowning boast because I always tell people that I am a honeymoon baby, 9 months and 5 days later. Yes, I have something to brag about! Kidding aside, I have come to accept that after 11 years... Continue Reading →
I am going to be nostalgic today. What the heck. Merry Christmas. Oh, and Happy Holidays, too. Ever since childhood, Christmas was one heck of a holiday in the Barrera household. As kids, the trees always looked spectacular and they probably were. Our Mom would try all the trends. Green trees, white trees, silver trees.... Continue Reading →
I am dog watching for a friend again for a week, and I have renamed this willful dog Houdini. At first, I thought he was jumping the fence which was only four feet tall. I added a foot to the top. Still got out. Then I realized he was pushing the fence enough to escape... Continue Reading →
