Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Hurricane Harvey is breaking all of our hearts just watching the news. There are a number of things you can do from afar, folks. Do not forget the pets left behind. But above all, do something for those in need! Here are several organizations and coordinated efforts coming to the aid of Texans: The American... Continue Reading →
I am literally exhausted by the rhetoric in America, which has reached all-time lows or highs, depending how you look at it. Â Americans are living in a world where our country is so divided that it is creating chaos in our own homes, our own lives. I want to change my world first, to help... Continue Reading →
Since the 2016 Election, we have been inundated with fake this and fake that. Why do we believe that something that has always been a “go to†source is now “fake†when someone is who holds power tells us that? Is life now based on Fear? Aren't  we better than that? Are we no longer doing... Continue Reading →
I am sitting here tonight trying to write, not sure of my feelings. It is New Year’s Eve. 2016 was one heck of a year, wasn’t it? For me, 2016 was my family shuffling, all of us in a good direction.

I will participate with other cancer survivors today and speak with our State Legislative representatives with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Our primary focus will be to ask the state legislators for quality access to the kind of healthcare... Continue Reading →
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 →
Some of you know that after a 11 year hiatus, I am involved again with Expedition Inspiration Fund, a charitable organization that raises money for breast cancer research and research efforts. We may be Pink but we are not Fluffy. Â I wrote this for their blog, and wanted to share with you, too! For the... Continue Reading →
Every year in October we are inundated by the Pink. Let me ask you this: is Pink still relevant? I went to one of my favorite re-use stores in Boise’s Collister Center a few weeks ago, and Naomi made a casual remark that has struck me ever since. She said, “I think by now we... Continue Reading →
