Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
This Tuesday night on #DeadlineWhitehouse, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. was a guest. His answer about the topic of the rhetoric of violent threats struck me. I am still thinking about it. “Nicole, we’re not gonna ever change. Until we hold the people we love accountable….People who know better, eat dinner with folk, they love them... Continue Reading →
I voted early, even hand delivered my ballot so I could get my "I Voted" sticker. I had one from the 2020 Election, which was the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment granting American women the right to vote. What about you? Have you voted? #Vote #VoteToSaveDemocracy #VotingMatters
So, many of you know that I am a Realtor® here in Boise, Idaho. Some days I am “on call” for the phone number on our website. Most of the calls are looking for the HOA of a neighborhood, but sometimes we get odd calls. Sunday was one of those calls. This gal called asking... Continue Reading →

My ask to you is to decide what course of action you will take to move the 50 Senators to stop voting along party lines. Personally, I want... Continue Reading →
We have been experiencing the ups and downs of Idaho weather with complaints of how crazy it has been. Crazy? Not hardly! Back to the weather. I wrote about weather in my last blog post. But on my morning hike today, I thought of something else. I don’t mind grey skies, cloudy days, downpours. Even... Continue Reading →
Why is it that often the truth is such a blow that we literally feel physically hurt? Is it my heart? Was it my chest? Or, could it be just my brain? I just don’t know anymore. Our lives have been upended since 2020 with the pandemic. People have changed due to political situations. Rhetoric... Continue Reading →
My best memory of the beloved Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, is celebrating a Day of Mindfulness at Deer Park Monastery in Escondido in 2014. On my birthday day, too. I will be forever grateful that I was fortunate to listen to Thay teach that wonderful day. In case you are wondering, Thay is the... Continue Reading →
I woke up with a start this morning from a dream that had abandonment issues. The news of a dear friend with a cancer diagnosis had me in a funk yesterday, thinking about others who have left me in my past. Grief is an odd devil of sorts, popping up when you least expect it... Continue Reading →
