Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Getting it right in life, what does that really mean? For me, life can be as simple and pure by just being happy and grateful.

As many of you know, so much has taken place in my life the past year. Love, joy, happiness, peace, to death, grief, trauma, followed by counseling which lead to understanding, forgiveness, letting go, and on to healing. Everything else seemed to crop up in-between.

Last week was one of those I-cannot-believe-it weeks. I had a lesson to learn, and it was humbling, to say the least. I had a mega cry on Friday night a week ago, and I have no idea what set it off. It doesn’t really matter because in grief you are okay one minute and... Continue Reading →
How does it happen anyway? Every single time I wear a light color, I inevitably spill something, That something is usually salsa, coffee or salad dressing, the three major sources of stains on my clothes.
