Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
I am hanging out with my sister, Marianne, this week to help her out after a double procedure surgery she had recently. Little does she know that the rest of the week, I am preparing meals my way. {insert laugh} It’s a sister thing with us, who has the better recipe. In all honesty, we... Continue Reading →
Often I write my blog piece over the weekend and upload on Monday mornings. So, I am writing this on Sunday morning, trying to finish my coffee and digest the shooting in Orlando in my weary brain. God is sad alongside me this morning. I just do not understand hatred so deep that it moves... Continue Reading →
I had an entire blog post written for today. But the events of this past weekend turned me upside down and all around. I just could not press the send button. No way, no how. Honestly, I did not have the energy. As it was, I wrote about how friends and friendships are critical when... Continue Reading →
A year has just about come and gone. After Paul died, a friend told me it would take a year, and I winced in emotional pain. No, not a year of this heartache that at times was literally physical! But she was right, after a period of time, I found that time was the patch... Continue Reading →

Which leads me to ask myself, how can I possibly even think that I am “alone†when I have so many friends, when I have terrific siblings, when I even have great neighbors? But is being alone the same... Continue Reading →
It’s happening now and I am scared. Eight months after Paul died, I am wondering why and yet at the same time, wondering when. I would give anything to be able to talk to Paul and ask him what he wants me to do. However, in all honesty, I already know what he would want... Continue Reading →
Today, Sunday, is the first day since you have been gone that I took nap midday, read a book, and had no plans whatsoever. I wish I could say I am bored but that is not the case at all! First of all, my fundraising event for Expedition Inspiration is behind me now. We put... Continue Reading →
Have you ever noticed how long it takes to purchase a vehicle? How about a new cell phone? I swear signing a contract to submit an offer on a home is much easier! Let me give you an example. Let's say you are looking for a home. You ask around and get a referral for... Continue Reading →
Last week was one of those I-cannot-believe-it weeks. I had a lesson to learn, and it was humbling, to say the least. I had a mega cry on Friday night a week ago, and I have no idea what set it off. It doesn’t really matter because in grief you are okay one minute and... Continue Reading →
I just finished one heck of a week. From my Monday night grief group, to gearing up for an annual event for Expedition Inspiration, followed by the profound wisdom of a good friend. An offhanded remark shed a great deal of light for me about forgiveness. And then I was able to share that enlightenment... Continue Reading →
