How Does America Heal? #BuildingBridges
I have struggled since last week to write a blog post because of the swirling drama over the election, COVID surge and general feeling of gloom in America. Giving up or giving in? I am not sure what I need to consider for healing…..For that matter, what America needs. I have found that letting go... Continue Reading →
Foiled Again! #NoTopic
Well, I am here at home on a Sunday night with NO ideas for my blog, recipe I concocted was a disaster (will work on this), attitude is down (worked on this over weekend) and business is tough. Where to begin??? Let’s go with the recipe first. I had a hankering for a hash brown... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Quotes That Resonate #BeTheChange
Something hit me this weekend, what was it? It dawned on me that I was longing for a pick me up. Something other than my hikes with Murphy, something other than creating a new recipe.

How About Being Positive? #RespectEachOther
I am beginning to wonder if Americans are no longer shocked by what they hear: they either believe one way or completely another way.

Hope Is My Path #LoveEqualsHope
I could write positive vs. negative, hope vs. fear, what is real and what is fake. And still not be able to fully describe the angst and confusion that COVID-19 has done to our planet. I drive every early morning to my hiking spot, early so that I am usually alone on the trail and... Continue Reading →
Dear Friends, #StayAtHome
Dear Friends, This past week I listened to a segment on NPR titled Dear Stranger. I learned that Oregon Humanities sponsors an annual letter writing project. This year they are encouraging people to reflect on their experiences about how the pandemic has upended their lives. I wish every state in America had something like this... Continue Reading →
