Lately, I have been experiencing others in my universe that are far too quick to jump to conclusions, seem to accept the worst or appear to be so negative that they assume the worst case scenario. That behavior makes me batshitcrazy. But pondering this has opened my mind and reminded me how I grew to... Continue Reading →
Going On A Road Trip, Again #DreamRoadTrip
Ah, the spring season is waning and the summer season is waxing us with warmer temperatures. Now what? Well for starters, I am looking at a new rig. Time for a new vehicle, time for a change, time for an upgrade. Probably going to be an entire new color I have never owned. So much... Continue Reading →

Do Something, Damnit! #MarchForOurLives2018
Who would have ever guessed it would take an entirely new, purposeful generation to finally make change in America when it comes to gun violence.

Unlocking the Mystery of Writing #ICanWrite #WriteItDown
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 →
What I Did to Get Away from the Chaos #BeTheChange
I am literally exhausted by the rhetoric in America, which has reached all-time lows or highs, depending how you look at it. 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 →
Go Outdoors & Touch the Earth #NaturesBeauty
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 →
Taking a Much Needed Break #SpringBreak
Taking the week off because my sister is visiting. My extra living room underneath my covered patio is cleaned up, all set up with my couch and chair, dining table in the corner. My summer goal will be to enjoy the colors of the sun setting, listen to the breezes gently swing by, music from the... Continue Reading →
