By now, the Realtors® that belong to the Boise Regional Realtors® in Ada County have received the email announcing the slate of candidates for leadership positions. I’m on that list! I had to tape a video for Boise Regional Realtors® about who I am and why I am seeking the position for NAR Director. For... Continue Reading →
Did My Week End or Begin? #SundayOrMonday
When does your week end and when does your week begin? I suppose I can say Sunday or Monday, Monday being the wisest choice. After all, Saturdays and Sundays are supposed to be “off†days despite the fact that many of us work on weekends. I had a tough week. It began early on with... Continue Reading →
I Picked From the Tree of #Friendship
I wanted to title this post, I Picked From the Tree of Life, but right now my tree is all about Friendship. My true blue friend, Dawn, called me today and I told her that I was feeling down about a loyalty issue with someone I considered a good friend. She gave me the inspiration... Continue Reading →

We All Want the Same Thing, Don’t We? #BeTheChange

Positive action can be the catalyst to real... Continue Reading →
Be the Change We All Want #BeTheChange
I am home Friday night, darn near emotionally frozen over the grief and anguish from the news I can’t seem to get away from in America this week. Wait, this year. No, wait again, since 2001. Discrimination turned in to fear. Fear drove racism. Racism turned in to intolerance. Intolerance turned in to paranoia. Paranoia... Continue Reading →

Right now we are in the San Juan Islands, north of Seattle, Washington. Being here is just as if... Continue Reading →

Well, I have to tell you, this title says it all. I need a break from the daily news, I need a break from the election cycle, I need a break from the hot weather coming this way to Idaho and I need a break. Come to find out, a person can’t even hide these... Continue Reading →
Disagreement Should Not Involve Guns #Love&Tolerance
Often I write my blog piece over the weekend and upload on Monday mornings. So, I am writing this on Sunday morning, trying to finish my coffee and digest the shooting in Orlando in my weary brain. God is sad alongside me this morning. I just do not understand hatred so deep that it moves... Continue Reading →
If You Really Believe #DoNotGiveUp
I sort of had a writer’s block for this week’s post, really I did. But then happenstance came to my rescue. I was at my Chase bank branch Friday, and lo and behold my friend Steve Stuebner was in the line ahead of me. He told me great news. Let me fill you in on... Continue Reading →
