Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Again, another week with another unnecessary drama from the White House. It would be amusing if the behavior was not so dangerous, provocative and disrespectful. Let’s start with patriotism. This word is all about loyalty and nationalism. The definition is devoted love, support and defense of one’s country, national loyalty. We love America and we... Continue Reading →
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 →
What I know is that I want to know more, learn more, understand more. As a result, I watch those news shows. I’m a NBC Nightly News junkie – do not call me between 5:30 and 6:00 pm! I don’t watch the mystery stuff, I watch shows that present issues we face nationally and globally.... Continue Reading →
Last Monday, July 3rd, I realized I did not post to my blog in the morning. Which had me thinking, should I write it now? Then, I my mind went spinning. Why not take that day off? It’s the holiday, right? It was the afternoon and I had not yet gone online. Then I realized... Continue Reading →
Since the 2016 Election, we have been inundated with fake this and fake that.

Are we no longer doing... Continue Reading →
This past weekend I took it upon myself to put together committee descriptions for a non-profit that I volunteer for. The fact that we do not have staff makes us a working board as well as an all-volunteer organization. So, who does what? We are growing, so the time had come to begin the conversation...

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 →
Ever since New Year’s Day, I have been giving this 2017 year a great deal of thought. I am not going to grumble about 2016 because it was what it was. I have been taught through my Buddhist practice to focus on the present. I have been taught through my Christian upbringing to focus on... Continue Reading →
