Multi Faceted Grief

I have been thinking about grief this past week since Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge. Each death is a different form of grief. I feel as if I have been more exposed to grief from others given that I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. My cancer diagnosis led me to becoming an advocate... Continue Reading →

I Cannot Breathe Now

I cannot breathe from post-election anxiety. I am worried for people of color more than ever before. I am worried for DACA recipients. I am worried for immigrants that will be unjustly held unless they can prove who they are. I am worried for my nieces and nephews who have browner skin than I do.... Continue Reading →

My Picture Perfect Mini Vaca to Gig Harbor

I miss ocean and water views. I miss my friends over in the Seattle area. So, I packed the car, made sure Murphy was comfortable and hit the highway. I now have the drive figured out if I have to drive the entire way in a day. I stayed in Gig Harbor with Cheryl and... Continue Reading →

I Let the Light In Every Day

At least that is what Nextdoor is telling me. The blessing in disguise is that my digital television antenna is... Continue Reading →

At A Loss Again #WhatNow

I have been at a loss the past few weeks and I think I am actually simply overwhelmed with the news lately. Yes, I know, I should not go online or watch television. However, I am a Realtor® and I have to be informed. So, you ask, what have I done lately to scale it... Continue Reading →

Sometimes The Truth Really Hurts #Truth

Why is it that often the truth is such a blow that we literally feel physically hurt? Is it my heart? Was it my chest? Or, could it be just my brain? I just don’t know anymore. Our lives have been upended since 2020 with the pandemic. People have changed due to political situations. Rhetoric... Continue Reading →

Memories to ReLive #GoingPlaces

I have been stuck - a writers block - about what to say. It's been a long year of COVID this and COVID that. So, I got to thinking. I am now officially vaccinated. I can make plans. And plans I will make! Based on past travels or my favorite spots, I chose pictures to share... Continue Reading →
