Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I am dog watching for a friend again for a week, and I have renamed this willful dog Houdini. At first, I thought he was jumping the fence which was only four feet tall. I added a foot to the top. Still got out. Then I realized he was pushing the fence enough to escape... 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 →

By now, the Realtors® that belong to the Boise Regional Realtors® in Ada County have received the email announcing the slate of candidates for leadership positions. I’m on that list!

Have you ever found yourself wondering what the heck you were doing, but you realized you were going down that path anyway, against your better judgement? I choose to navigate a different route. I learned a great deal this past year or so about attachments and wrong perceptions. Everyone falls in to these rueful situations,... Continue Reading →
Don’t you just wish that a time or two in your lifetime you could answer back how you really feel? You know, say it with thought so that the other person doesn’t get it until later that day? This applies to those people in your life that just do not understand no matter what.

It occurred to me that I have been in circumstances that seemed to be not so much out of control but in nobody's control. Each time this happened, I gave it a great deal of thought and found a solution that worked for me. Believe me, some of these situations seemed dismal. By working through... Continue Reading →
Grief is not exclusive when a loved one passes, not the same for the next person and certainly not the same pain for anyone's loss. I have recently experienced the loss of my Paul: my lover, my best friend, my future, my everything in an instant due to cardiac arrest. This event has prompted to... Continue Reading →
