My Reasons to Call Family, Friends, Clients #BeAuthentic
I am going to admit I am exhausted by the constant barrage of news. If you know me well, you already know this. I have been slowly but surely not getting on social media in the middle of the day. I just left a number of Facebook groups to make sure that my mental health... Continue Reading →

My Morning Hikes Help Me Clear My Mind #ClearBrainClutter
For years, my morning hikes have become a gift to myself of a way to reset my head and get ready, mentally, for the day ahead. Ever since I moved to Boise in 1997, I have been fortunate to have lived by an area to take my walks or hikes in solitude. In the past... Continue Reading →

Let’s Make This Work #Collaborate #StrongerTogether
I am writing this on Sunday, and I am icing my right knee. Believe it or not, what did me in was too much shopping with my sister who was visiting last week. Who knew shopping had side effects? The shopping excursions were interesting because I watched how people acted and treated each other in... Continue Reading →
Let’s Not Say Something We May Regret – #ThinkFirstSpeakSecond
I am mentally as well as physically exhausted from last week. Reading about the stories of sexual assault survivors, all told with the heartfelt pain of trauma, has been tormenting. It is with shock not wonder that I write this now and ask, how can America turn it back to this problem? Set aside the... Continue Reading →
