Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Dear Friends, I am writing to you today to check in with you. How is your new day to day life? Do you have all that you will need at home? Do you have other friends that can get you things should your resources run low? Do you need help? I realized when I woke... Continue Reading →
I am going to admit I am exhausted by the constant barrage of news. If you know me well, you already know this. I have been slowly but surely not getting on social media in the middle of the day. I just left a number of Facebook groups to make sure that my mental health... Continue Reading →

11 days ago, no wait, probably 30 days ago, I kept telling myself I was not scared. Multiple times a day. You know what? I really wasn’t scared of open-heart surgery. I was going to get fixed! Sure, it was going to hurt but I am too young to die so let’s do this! Then,... Continue Reading →
