Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
A wise woman told me, just yesterday as a matter of fact, that I did catch a break and it was a good thing. She is SO right! Catching a break is a good thing when the outcome is positive. Sure, you can default to the why me syndrome, and why not, it’s what most... Continue Reading →
Sunday evening I had the distinct pleasure to listen to John Pavlotivz at the Riverside Hotel thanks to the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights here in Boise. Rather than write about this experience, I want to share my notes: We are here to amplify voices Words do matter Be a different voice in a Christian... Continue Reading →
I participated in the Boise Race for The Cure event here in Boise this past Saturday. My office peeps wanted to honor my 22+ years being cancer free. I am so grateful that I work with such wonderful human beings that acknowledge my breast cancer experience. #ThankYou I have said this in the past: my... Continue Reading →
Ah, the spring season is waning and the summer season is waxing us with warmer temperatures. Now what? Well for starters, I am looking at a new rig.

I took a break last Monday from my weekly blog post, mostly because I was still in Lalaland after a wonderful long weekend in San Francisco. The weather was glorious, the sights fantastic, the restaurant stops a foodie’s dream. I like to people watch wherever I go, and what struck me deeply about this city... Continue Reading →
I’m trying to get into the Christmas cheer thing this year. For some reason, I am just not feeling it. Don’t get me wrong, I have put deliberate thought in to what I am giving to friends, to my guy, to my family. But this year only a few decorations have been put out, the... Continue Reading →
I am in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, helping my sister out during her recovery from her second back surgery. Where she and Steven live, 25 wooded acres along the Mississippi River, I have had the distinct pleasure of stunning views, a serene setting, the place to myself, with the exception of their dog that I am...

Believe it or not, I have been at a loss for words these days. Ok, not totally or not completely but I sometimes struggle or maybe I have writer’s block. Admittedly, it quite possibly could be politics fatigue. It occupies the news, it affects my business industry and gets into my head. So, I decided... Continue Reading →
