Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
If you live in Boise, Idaho, you may have been a bit frustrated with road closures this summer downtown. Every time I turned a corner, there was a detour sign. {sigh} My sister swears by the app Waze, but I am too lazy to get another app. This summer changed my mind. However, the story...

I have had a series of “I don’t care daysâ€. Too many things, all at once.
I know, that is a broad statement. Not all men nor women want what I meant in the graphic. But in my circles here in Idaho, it sums it succinctly. There was a Twitter post about gun reform and all 85 replies (so far) accuse me of advocating for the government taking guns. First of... Continue Reading →
I had an entire post written, but after last week, deleted it all. More than anything else about last week was learning about the injustices from America’s past that many of us are slowly learning about. Which makes the culture war issues on American history so alarming. Let’s start with Juneteenth, which marked the freedom... Continue Reading →
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 →

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? Ukraine Mass shootings Lowering cost of insulin Oil & gas price gouging Veteran’s benefits Baby... Continue Reading →
I had breakfast with friends Sunday morning, and our discussion moved to being comfortable alone. That got me to thinking of how I lived pre-covid and now post-covid. I am comfortable being alone but admittedly not, what is the word? Content? Satisfied? Happy? I’m not sure. I think I have mentioned this before, but covid... Continue Reading →
I just moved from the west end of Garden City back to the North End. Well, the “near†North End, sort of Sunset neighborhood and Central Foothills neighborhood because I am north of Hill Road. At least that is what Nextdoor is telling me. The blessing in disguise is that my digital television antenna is... Continue Reading →
