Savory Squash Bread with Sun Dried Tomatoes, Oregano, Feta & Taste!

I do not care for zucchini bread, probably because I just do not like nutmeg. Sorry, it is a deterrent when it comes to those zucchini breads, carrot cake and pumpkin pie. NO thank you. In order to determine a way to use up a boat load of yellow squash I was the recipient of... Continue Reading →

Oh, the Places We’ve Been! Stories Behind Our Clothes

Yesterday afternoon I had a Clothing Exchange party, or my way of shopping on my birthday without spending a dime! I am really celebrating my 20 years cancer free, from breast cancer in my late 30’s.

#BOSCO Boise Open Studios Weekend 2015

It occurred to me this morning that it is one month short of a year since Paul died. In this past year, I have found myself living life to the fullest. I went to every Idaho Shakespeare play with my friend, Jane Suggs. Jane even commented it was a special way for the two of... Continue Reading →

Marinara, My Way. It’s Time I Shared This for Fresh Tomatoes!

This weekend I found myself in the throes of feelings of loneliness of the grieving period.

But is being alone the same... Continue Reading →

Giving and Receiving Compliments, Why Do We Resist? Just Say “Thank You”

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