Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
11 days ago, no wait, probably 30 days ago, I kept telling myself I was not scared. Multiple times a day. You know what? I really wasn’t scared of open-heart surgery. I was going to get fixed! Sure, it was going to hurt but I am too young to die so let’s do this! Then,... Continue Reading →
I have been a stress case lately. All sorts of reasons. The real estate market is amped up and whipped into a daily frenzy. My cardiologist is putting me through the ringer with tests that are difficult to dismiss. I have such full days I cannot find time to clean my own home or do... Continue Reading →
Six months after Paul died in 2014, I moved into a tiny house in the Art District in Garden City. 480 square feet cocooned me in a blanket as I grieved for months. It was perfect back then, a small space to make my own, a small space that allowed me the luxury of not... Continue Reading →
Change is good and moving makes a person do just that. Yes, I packed last week and this weekend. Got a lot accomplished but don’t quite give me the high five. After all, I live in 480 square feet. My art collection except the two largest pieces are off the walls. I must admit the... Continue Reading →
I am moving at the end of the month, so this weekend I have begun the packing process. First, you get the boxes and put them in the garage and just look at them. And then the only word that runs the rodeo in your head is “workâ€. {sigh} I really shouldn’t complain, after all... Continue Reading →
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 →
Back in 1999 at my first brokerage as a licensed agent in Boise, a gal named Janet told me her story of a daughter who died in a car accident. Sudden death is obliterating as I later found out 3.5 years ago when Paul died of complications from cardiac arrest. One thing Janet told me,... 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...

At the end of the day last night, I settled in a comfy corner of the couch to catch up on the world. My corner became more and more uncomfortable once I read the Me Too posts on social media from friends, from women across the world. I feel that rather than coming out of... Continue Reading →
Again, another week with another unnecessary drama from the White House. It would be amusing if the behavior was not so dangerous, provocative and disrespectful. Let’s start with patriotism. This word is all about loyalty and nationalism. The definition is devoted love, support and defense of one’s country, national loyalty. We love America and we... Continue Reading →
