I have been a stress case lately. All sorts of reasons. The real estate market is amped up and whipped into a daily frenzy. My cardiologist is putting me through the ringer with tests that are difficult to dismiss. I have such full days I cannot find time to clean my own home or do... Continue Reading →
Who Was or Is Your Mentor? #MentorshipIsPowerful
I began working with a real estate team here in Boise in 2017, which is a thing now in this industry. My decision was triggered when I admitted to myself that I was tired of working alone and I knew I needed the support of others who had a good reputation. #WhyNot What I did... Continue Reading →
Giving Up or Giving In, What is It? #ItIsWhatItIs
I have to admit, I am tired of hearing the “it is what it is†phrase. I hear this far too often. Why!!?? Are we giving up with that acknowledgement or are we giving in to what we cannot change? I think it don’t care for this phrase because I feel it is an unquestionable... Continue Reading →
What is the Tone in Your Daily Life? #GiveADailyGIft
I have been struggling with a topic to write about. I want to be careful and more mindful about resorting to complaining.

Decades ago I read Deepak Chopra’s book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. This book changed my... Continue Reading →
Why Are We So Afraid of Death? #Grief #Grieving #GoodBye
Damn, just damnit. The passing of a friend before her time is weighing heavy on me since Friday. Not why but what the heck. Why are we so damn afraid of death? Isn’t it the circle of life? Isn’t death inevitable? We cry and mourn, and the experience weighs heavy on our shoulders. We also... Continue Reading →
Let’s Make This Work #Collaborate #StrongerTogether
I am writing this on Sunday, and I am icing my right knee. Believe it or not, what did me in was too much shopping with my sister who was visiting last week. Who knew shopping had side effects? The shopping excursions were interesting because I watched how people acted and treated each other in... Continue Reading →
