Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I met with a pulmonologist this week for my CPAP machine, which I might add helped at first. But lo and behold, it’s not working so we need to change a few things such as a mask. Rats! She also told me a few things about my pulmonary embolism in March that I was not... 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 →
I had a bug last week, and being couch bound more or less forced me to go into my head for deep thinking. My bug could have been avoided by going to a doctor sooner, but you know, “maybe it will go away†entered my head. Hereditary conditions simply interfered and lingered. I let myself...

Sometimes I have to give myself a palm to forehead slap. I have to knock the sense back into place in that stubborn mind of mine. Life can be just like a tug of war in life, especially when you are a strong person like myself. I now need more than I am asking for... Continue Reading →
I missed posting yesterday morning because was busy! I joined dozens of volunteers at the Idaho State Capitol with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. We were present to talk to our State Representatives and Senators about making effective change on the lives affected by cancer. This all starts with volunteers on state levels, which...

I realized last week that my siblings and I did not acknowledge our parent’s anniversary. Which is my crowning boast because I always tell people that I am a honeymoon baby, 9 months and 5 days later. Yes, I have something to brag about! Kidding aside, I have come to accept that after 11 years... Continue Reading →
Dear Paul, I have been thinking of you a great deal. Your birthday passed a few weeks ago. The day you had your cardiac arrest passed, which is the date I consider when you died. Four days later, we had to pull your life support. I knew you were not in your body because you... Continue Reading →
I always smile when I think about what inspires me to write about each week. Right now, I am in Seattle for a few days, staying at a friend’s house in a lovely, wooded neighborhood. The blinds are closed. I don’t get it, either. The backyard is a beautiful, lush environment that would inspire an... Continue Reading →
I suppose I can also hashtag “choose to change the worldâ€. This morning I woke up early and thought, well, I can’t sleep, I may as well get up. So of course it’s coffee time. Earlier this year I donated all of my match-y kitchen serve ware and opted for vintage everything, especially if it... Continue Reading →
I had a number of topsy turvy’s, one after the other that came my way last week. Mind you, most of these experiences were great: reconnecting with a friend, enriching a friendship with another. Hanging out for an entire morning with a friend and colleague in a real estate offer situation. Spending the afternoon with... Continue Reading →
