I have struggled since last week to write a blog post because of the swirling drama over the election, COVID surge and general feeling of gloom in America. Giving up or giving in? I am not sure what I need to consider for healing…..For that matter, what America needs. I have found that letting go... Continue Reading →
Roller Coaster November #Election2020
Let’s face it, we won’t know the election results for at least a week after next Tuesday. It’s inevitable given the absentee ballots and early voting we are watching in the national news every day. What impresses me is the amount of determination to vote, no matter what, no matter how long the lines are.... Continue Reading →
Basil Paste is Future #Pesto
It is official harvest season from neighborhood gardens! All the posts I am seeing on social media confirm certain vegetables and herbs are ripe for the picking! Pun intended. My favorite use of basil is to make a paste instead of a pesto. For one thing, not adding nuts or cheese makes my paste easier... Continue Reading →

America is on Fire #EnoughIsEnough
I am at a loss for words over the devastating events from the past week. Senseless murder from police brutality. Ongoing racism in America that has festered worse than a virus. Anger levels at a peak that is not going to diminish this time. Amid so much sorrow, there is evidence of solidarity from protests... Continue Reading →

I drive every early morning to my hiking spot, early so that I am usually alone on the trail and... Continue Reading →

Dear Friends, I am writing to you today to check in with you. How is your new day to day life? Do you have all that you will need at home? Do you have other friends that can get you things should your resources run low? Do you need help? I realized when I woke... Continue Reading →
My Morning Hikes Help Me Clear My Mind #ClearBrainClutter
For years, my morning hikes have become a gift to myself of a way to reset my head and get ready, mentally, for the day ahead. Ever since I moved to Boise in 1997, I have been fortunate to have lived by an area to take my walks or hikes in solitude. In the past... Continue Reading →
We All Should Stop Judging & That Includes Me #BothSides
I have found myself in certain situations that made me hit my own brakes to stop and think about the issue at hand. Why do people judge or react the way that they do? Let’s face it, we all jump to conclusions. Damn driver, what a jerk! Cruel bastard, they have no feelings! Nasty woman,... Continue Reading →
