Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Today was a tough day listening to the Epstein survivors speak about their trauma from the past when they were minors and/or college aged young women. One after the other spoke about what took place that robbed them of their right to be a functioning woman let alone teenager. One after the other spoke about... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about grief this past week since Murphy crossed the rainbow bridge. Each death is a different form of grief. I feel as if I have been more exposed to grief from others given that I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 39. My cancer diagnosis led me to becoming an advocate... Continue Reading →
I cannot breathe from post-election anxiety. I am worried for people of color more than ever before. I am worried for DACA recipients. I am worried for immigrants that will be unjustly held unless they can prove who they are. I am worried for my nieces and nephews who have browner skin than I do.... Continue Reading →
I went on a large ship cruise to sail the Mediterranean Sea for 12 days. What an incredible experience! Great price including airfare for 6 countries and 11 different ports. However, I will never go on a large ship again; sensory overload. I did my own thing every day, simply walking the villages and towns... Continue Reading →
I miss ocean and water views. I miss my friends over in the Seattle area. So, I packed the car, made sure Murphy was comfortable and hit the highway. I now have the drive figured out if I have to drive the entire way in a day. I stayed in Gig Harbor with Cheryl and... Continue Reading →

During recovery, my days were hectic with real estate, my sister here to... Continue Reading →
What can I say? 2023 was a great year and yet full of surprises mixed with oddities. I don’t want to call those oddities disappointments because they were simply the speed bumps of life. Most of all, I had an exciting year of discovery. It was all about many life changes, too. I had a... Continue Reading →
I am promising myself to be better about my blog posting for 2024. I want to be consistent in my weekly posts. Deeper conversations, outrageous humor, recipes I have not yet shared with my readers. Perhaps travel pictures since 2024 is going to be my year to seek new places to discover. As far as... Continue Reading →
What kind of person are you: are your blinds or curtains open during the day or do you have them closed no matter what? If it is the latter, may I ask why? Every evening when it gets dark, I do close my blinds. Especially now when it is cold at night. The next morning... Continue Reading →
Yes, let’s start the conversation. Let’s add a few other generations, too. I saw a post on Threads yesterday about feminism and women aging. Reading the comments today strikes a similar reply: senior women become invisible. On the other hand, most women commented about using our voices. Yes, that is the solution in a nutshell!...
