Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
What I know is that I want to know more, learn more, understand more. As a result, I watch those news shows. I’m a NBC Nightly News junkie – do not call me between 5:30 and 6:00 pm! I don’t watch the mystery stuff, I watch shows that present issues we face nationally and globally.... Continue Reading →
Last week I wrote about a writing workshop I attended at Surel’s Place with the artist in residence, an author and writer, Jeff Metcalf. He gave us a writing assignment. Oh. My. Gosh. So, what did I do? Honestly, I put it on the back burner until today. I knew my topic and this past... Continue Reading →
This past Saturday was spent mostly at home, tinkering about doing household chores that had been set aside for every imaginable excuse under the sun, to the moon and back. In the early afternoon, I treated myself to a writing workshop at Surel’s Place, an artist in residence program in the Live Work Create District... Continue Reading →
Last Monday, July 3rd, I realized I did not post to my blog in the morning. Which had me thinking, should I write it now? Then, I my mind went spinning. Why not take that day off? It’s the holiday, right? It was the afternoon and I had not yet gone online. Then I realized... Continue Reading →
I have a GREEN designation from the National Association of Realtors, which means I have taken a course in green and sustainable building practices.

More than a few years back, I posted a collection of summer salads I liked to take to potluck dinners. It’s high time for an update! I find that taking a special recipe is as good as gold. It’s from your very own kitchen, fresh ingredients, and hopefully, natural or organic. What better gift can... Continue Reading →
I am literally exhausted by the rhetoric in America, which has reached all-time lows or highs, depending how you look at it. Â Americans are living in a world where our country is so divided that it is creating chaos in our own homes, our own lives. I want to change my world first, to help... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe ages ago in one of those Betty Crocker mini cookbooks they used to sell at the check-out stands at grocery stores. You are supposed to cut up a tomato as a salad cup. Too much work, for me in my 20’s and now in my ah-hem. Well, let’s skip that part.... Continue Reading →
The difficult times in my past have always had the great wide open outdoors as one of my conduits towards healing. When I lived in Ketchum, I loved jogging in Adams Gulch on the Shadyside trail. In McCall, it was hiking in Ponderosa State Park. Here in Boise, it’s hiking/jogging the Boise Foothills in the... Continue Reading →
Looking back, two and half years later, I find myself in a life I did not expect and yet a life that I now embrace fully. I really thought I would grow old with Paul, doing daily activities together. It’s sort of me and my dog, Zeke, now. I have learned to say yes to... Continue Reading →
