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.

Today will be a very difficult day for me because I have to euthanize my dog, Murphy. You see, he was diagnosed with aggressive oral cancer and treatment was not an option. Therefore, I am celebrating all the adventures we had in the past 7.5 years (I adopted him when he was 4yo). Hiking the... Continue Reading →
This weekend I found myself in the throes of feelings of loneliness of the grieving period.

I thought of letting you know that I am feeling so much better than when you left before Thanksgiving. And yet, even though every day is better, every day is still difficult. I miss you so much. I kept busy in the first two weeks by surviving. I won’t go in to details, but suffice... Continue Reading →
We will all lose someone important in our lives: a mother, a father, a brother, a sister, a dear friend. We will all deal with that grief in a different way with each person that passes.
