Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Often I write my blog piece over the weekend and upload on Monday mornings. So, I am writing this on Sunday morning, trying to finish my coffee and digest the shooting in Orlando in my weary brain. God is sad alongside me this morning. I just do not understand hatred so deep that it moves... Continue Reading →
They saw grief comes in waves, and for me it appears to be a tidal wave. However, I have a sturdy life jacket called joy that helps me face the challenges before me. My dear, sweet companion and best friend ever, my dog Zeke, has been diagnosed with severe congestive heart failure. It seems just... Continue Reading →
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! This was the first road trip I took by myself in years – well, with Zeke my rastadoodle in tow – with no intention... Continue Reading →

The old familiar can become new again and watching that joy is catching. The same goes for me the past... Continue Reading →
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 →
I sort of follow recipes and yet not at all. I just cannot add certain ingredients that cause concern for me. Why that? Why not this? But, I must admit, I enjoy more of a savory taste than a sweet taste. Gimme some spice in that dish! I can turn down chocolate any day but... Continue Reading →
