Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I think a great deal of Americans and other nations have been in a funk for awhile now. We are tired of COVID, negative politics, nasty comments on social media, rude vehicle drivers. Let’s face it, things don’t seem to be going our way. Maybe things used to go your way, but you have to... Continue Reading →
You know the saying, when one door closes another one opens. I’ve been thinking a great deal about this since the beginning of the year. I have had so many doors close in my life, that I really should collect antique doors. With glass door knobs. And a glass section at the top. And arrange... Continue Reading →

Dear Friends, This past week I listened to a segment on NPR titled Dear Stranger. I learned that Oregon Humanities sponsors an annual letter writing project. This year they are encouraging people to reflect on their experiences about how the pandemic has upended their lives. I wish every state in America had something like this... Continue Reading →
I was craving my Savory Squash bread, which I originally posted in 2015. It was a year after Paul died, and I had become comfortable in the tiny house I moved into, comfortable in the tiny kitchen I navigated each day. I was comfortable again. But, if life teaches us anything, it is that we... Continue Reading →
