Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I clean up my text messages occasionally, and this weekend I noticed I had not continued a conversation for an entire month. My bad. After texting that friend, I realized that is a topic for my blog and that it is far more important than anything else right now. Strong Women. Strong, independent women seek... Continue Reading →
I have had a writer’s block this past year. Maybe it’s the aftermath of the pandemic now that we have had to learn to live with covid. Maybe I’m just mad at the people in America that refused to take a deadly virus serious. But ‘Merica, folks. I am not understanding why Americans don’t question... Continue Reading →
This Tuesday night on #DeadlineWhitehouse, Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. was a guest. His answer about the topic of the rhetoric of violent threats struck me. I am still thinking about it. “Nicole, we’re not gonna ever change. Until we hold the people we love accountable….People who know better, eat dinner with folk, they love them... Continue Reading →
I’ve been thinking. Yeah, I know, that’s dangerous (lol). All kidding aside, in our world, we are bombarded with the news. Not just local but national, and news that extends far away from our borders. What do you care about?

At least that is what Nextdoor is telling me. The blessing in disguise is that my digital television antenna is... Continue Reading →
We have been experiencing the ups and downs of Idaho weather with complaints of how crazy it has been. Crazy? Not hardly! Back to the weather. I wrote about weather in my last blog post. But on my morning hike today, I thought of something else. I don’t mind grey skies, cloudy days, downpours. Even... Continue Reading →
Mother Nature is playing tricks this week with 100% chance of precipitation all this week here in Boise, Idaho. Which means no hikes since the trails will be wet and fragile. I am completely okay with that. I can get things done that I have been putting off. Like cleaning my house. Starting a new... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
