Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
At the end of the day last night, I settled in a comfy corner of the couch to catch up on the world. My corner became more and more uncomfortable once I read the Me Too posts on social media from friends, from women across the world. I feel that rather than coming out of... Continue Reading →
Again, another week with another unnecessary drama from the White House. It would be amusing if the behavior was not so dangerous, provocative and disrespectful. Let’s start with patriotism. This word is all about loyalty and nationalism. The definition is devoted love, support and defense of one’s country, national loyalty. We love America and we... Continue Reading →
I met with a pulmonologist this week for my CPAP machine, which I might add helped at first. But lo and behold, it’s not working so we need to change a few things such as a mask. Rats! She also told me a few things about my pulmonary embolism in March that I was not... Continue Reading →

I don’t know about you, but the rancor in America is exhausting. Can we all please call a truce? This is my Wish List: Slow down when you drive. Better yet, how about driving the speed limit? Please try to remember that on ramp and that far right lane are for the zipper process. One... Continue Reading →
Last week I wrote about a writing workshop I attended at Surel’s Place with the artist in residence, an author and writer, Jeff Metcalf. He gave us a writing assignment. Oh. My. Gosh. So, what did I do? Honestly, I put it on the back burner until today. I knew my topic and this past... Continue Reading →
This past Saturday was spent mostly at home, tinkering about doing household chores that had been set aside for every imaginable excuse under the sun, to the moon and back. In the early afternoon, I treated myself to a writing workshop at Surel’s Place, an artist in residence program in the Live Work Create District... Continue Reading →
