Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
The past five days have been spent working less, relaxing more. This took driving to not only a different zip code but another area code. Two area codes to be exact!

Yesterday afternoon I had a Clothing Exchange party, or my way of shopping on my birthday without spending a dime! I am really celebrating my 20 years cancer free, from breast cancer in my late 30’s. My besties from the years I have lived here in Boise showed up and the plan was to drop... Continue Reading →
