Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
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.

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 →
My best memory of the beloved Buddhist teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, is celebrating a Day of Mindfulness at Deer Park Monastery in Escondido in 2014. On my birthday day, too. I will be forever grateful that I was fortunate to listen to Thay teach that wonderful day. In case you are wondering, Thay is the... Continue Reading →
