How About a Day Off? #YouCanDoItToo #DayOff

Last Monday, July 3rd, I realized I did not post to my blog in the morning. Which had me thinking, should I write it now? Then, I my mind went spinning. Why not take that day off? It’s the holiday, right? It was the afternoon and I had not yet gone online. Then I realized... Continue Reading →

What I Did to Get Away from the Chaos #BeTheChange

I am literally exhausted by the rhetoric in America, which has reached all-time lows or highs, depending how you look at it.  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 →

Go Outdoors & Touch the Earth #NaturesBeauty

The difficult times in my past have always had the great wide open outdoors as one of my conduits towards healing. When I lived in Ketchum, I loved jogging in Adams Gulch on the Shadyside trail. In McCall, it was hiking in Ponderosa State Park. Here in Boise, it’s hiking/jogging the Boise Foothills in the... Continue Reading →

My Journey To The Other Side of Grief #GriefIsLife

Looking back, two and half years later, I find myself in a life I did not expect and yet a life that I now embrace fully. I really thought I would grow old with Paul, doing daily activities together. It’s sort of me and my dog, Zeke, now. I have learned to say yes to... Continue Reading →

Self Care is Self Love #LoveYourselfFirst

I had a bug last week, and being couch bound more or less forced me to go into my head for deep thinking. My bug could have been avoided by going to a doctor sooner, but you know, “maybe it will go away” entered my head. Hereditary conditions simply interfered and lingered. I let myself...

What Is Your Path? – Life is NOT #Fake

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 →

Why Wait for Tomorrow? #tomorrow always shows up #observeyourworld

A few years back, I wrote about listening to Boise again. I was hanging out in McCall a great deal, and when I moved my mindset back to Boise, I slowly but surely became reacquainted with Boise. It was as if I had just moved to town, I was taking it all in with brand... Continue Reading →

Soul Sister Friends aka A Week with My #Sister

Last week was spent with my sister, the baby of the family. That is a weird phrase to use considering we are both past the M word (menopause). We had a great time, and learned a bit about each other in the process. You see, I was 18 when I moved out and she was... Continue Reading →

Be Careful If You are Doer #BossyPants or #Leader

This past weekend I took it upon myself to put together committee descriptions for a non-profit that I volunteer for. The fact that we do not have staff makes us a working board as well as an all-volunteer organization. So, who does what? We are growing, so the time had come to begin the conversation...

Why is Asking for Help So Darn Difficult? #AskForHelpWhenYouNeedIt

Sometimes I have to give myself a palm to forehead slap. I have to knock the sense back into place in that stubborn mind of mine. Life can be just like a tug of war in life, especially when you are a strong person like myself. I now need more than I am asking for... Continue Reading →
