Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
Patriotism to me is being a well informed American, reading from the most trusted news sources in the world, not just America. Patriotism means supporting all - all means all - fellow citizens and veterans and supporting their rights to live, work, play, make their own health and love decisions. Patriotism to me is trying...

I am remiss in posting my pictures from Treefort 2023, their 11th year here in Boise, Idaho. This music festival has inspired me to make the rest of the year about music! And, from my home I can take the bus into downtown Boise and either take the bus home or get a rideshare. WHY... Continue Reading →
I clean up my text messages occasionally, and this weekend I noticed I had not continued a conversation for an entire month. My bad. After texting that friend, I realized that is a topic for my blog and that it is far more important than anything else right now. Strong Women. Strong, independent women seek... Continue Reading →
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

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 →
