Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Perhaps some of you do not know the story of how I came to land in Idaho. It’s a good time to share this story…… My Mom used to tell the story that I never got up and walked but rather I just got up one day and ran. If that was true, it is... Continue Reading →
Don’t let your past obscure your present or your future. Easier said than done, right? I have had a few circumstances come my way the past few months, and the phrase I came up with was that some people that cross my path allow their past to get in the way of their present lives....

Not really, well sort of. My former laptop took a nose dive and eventually the hard drive failed, but thankfully after my data had been salvaged.

Spring has arrived in Idaho with cloudy skies, rain, even snow when we least expect it. I woke up this morning at 4:37 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep. I think the rain is a distraction, but a welcome one. I just love the sound of the rain on my metal patio roof. I... Continue Reading →
I have been in one of those introspective moods that we find ourselves in more often than not. Well, at least that is when I'm having rodeo in my head! But, let’s get back to self-respect. What does that mean to you? What does it mean to me? How does it play in our lives?... Continue Reading →
What a weekend we just had in America! What turbulent times we are living in this country every day. Every week we are watching history before our very eyes. Let’s focus on the good for a change, shall we? Students of all ages are speaking out for gun sense laws, marching for a change in... Continue Reading →
