Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I don’t know about you, but I am constantly wondering how we can find ways to deal with the cynicism in America. To say we are divided is an understatement these days. I don’t want it to get worse, either. What sort of actions will work? Seems to me that listening has become a modern... Continue Reading →
I’ve been thinking. Yeah, I know, that’s dangerous (lol). All kidding aside, in our world, we are bombarded with the news. Not just local but national, and news that extends far away from our borders. What do you care about? Ukraine Mass shootings Lowering cost of insulin Oil & gas price gouging Veteran’s benefits Baby... Continue Reading →
Since the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas last week, I have been drained of emotions. I feel there are many Americans that feel the same as I do. 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.

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 →
I was invited to a private tour two weeks ago at the Idaho State Museum to learn about an important exhibit "Trailblazing Women of Idaho". What an experience! I learned so much more than I thought I knew about Idaho. Rather than explain, I want you to go to the museum before this exhibit ends... Continue Reading →
Let’s face it, our lives have been upended since 2019. The do’s and don’ts have been overwhelming, the should and should nots are difficult to keep up with. I for one am exhausted. But it’s not what you think. I am tired of the negativity! I have been telling friends that America has become an... Continue Reading →
I have been on a hiatus from blogging, mostly because of a few trips. One was to Minnesota to see my sister, another was a road trip to the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. Both trips gave me a much needed respite from the news. Since my return, the news is on a full scale tilt.... Continue Reading →
