Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
In the days of COVID-19, Americans have learned to adapt and adjust our daily lives. That thought led me to think of what I miss and what I have done to replace activities. Things I used to do that I have not yet ventured out in the world to do again. I am just not... Continue Reading →
I could write positive vs. negative, hope vs. fear, what is real and what is fake. And still not be able to fully describe the angst and confusion that COVID-19 has done to our planet.

I voted today! I rarely vote early, but I am planning on taking the day after the election off from work to track contested races, watch the news and pretty much have a teeth grinding type of day. Why? Because I care. Last week, I hosted a house gathering for a candidate in my district... Continue Reading →
