Boise is Da Bombe!


Boise is Da Bombe!


                  Now that I am in Boise for a record 2 months 

And working for an absolute 7 weeks

I can honestly say that Boise is the perfect place for me.


This wanderer has seen many places

This wanderer has interacted with cultures all over the globe.

When you find a place where people honestly reach out 

and help you every step of the way

You MUST honor it.


Boise is that kind of place.

Welcoming

Kind

Friendly

and truly supportive.


Every day of meeting people

connecting

and seeing who is who.

Is an absolute joy!


Never have I felt so much a part of something so quickly.

Never have I wanted to be a part of it so quickly.

I am reaching out to others and establishing who I am in such a city.

And now the real work begins.

As I expand my business into calling on clients

and connecting with clients

The real work begins.


I have always said that I am lucky

My luck has been in my universe from the moment I was born.

I have prospered when others may not have.

I have lifted up others nonstop and focused on giving back continually.

Now I see that the Universe is giving back to me.


I  am thrilled to be a part of something larger than me.

I am thrilled to see a future for the companies and for me personally.

It is healthy.   It is real.  And it is definitely my next chapter.


Thank you Boise for giving me the kind of love and support that a business 

person can only dream of.  

And I am so thankful of everyone that I am meeting.

Blossom World!

 We have all changed in 2020.

We have all survived going within to see our selves blossom.

It was met with fear by many 

It was met with exhaustion by others

The world slowed down

The carbon emissions even slowed.

We had a tumultuous election

We tried to be patient about a vaccine

We stayed close with family

We over communicated with friends

We longed for more laughter with groups - connecting in a casual way

We learned patience and protection

We learned that it would all pass - and our lives would be better somehow


A New Chapter

 It was over a year ago 

when I wisely talked about the future.

When I envisioned the path that now I am forging.

Boise expansion - and the Western Region

was a conscious decision driven by total love.

Love of an emerging city around us.

Love of the freedom to do it exactly right.

Love of the future with quality and focus on the things that truly make me happy.

Again - I ask myself - am I selfish?

It is just a theme with me to question any decision that is just about me

A whole new world is waiting

A world that is an expression of faith - drive - determination - and goals.

The path is so new and expansive.

No real burden here to hold back any success.

My children are invited to be a part of it in some small way 

even just to visit or talk about it.

The silence is all around me.

Busy with their own lives is a good thing.  Independence is a good thing.

And I miss them everyday.

The family spirit of accomplishing anything that we set our mind to 

must be alive in me.  The originating soul of it all.

Congrats as Children Graduate!

Bax received a MS in Biology Advanced Studies
Celine received a BS in Biology

The family applauded and celebrated together for three days.

It was fabulous
It was amazing
It was full of drama and surprises

But in the end -
we survived it

In the end we all moved on
to go back into our own lives

and know that family comes first
and family matters!

Determination Sets In

An Every Day Thing

The determination of life
Creating a new platform
realizing new directions
and finding the right sync

It is within my grasp
It is there and waiting
As I maneuver around myself
and gain momentum

It is right there
Calling out for me
and telling me to stop stalling

What is the holdup?
What is the obstacle?
It is only me
gaining my strength 
and making my own way.

Family Coming Together for the Bean!

We will celebrate the darling golden child!

She is becoming the adult full of grace
that was the child full of grace!

She is strong and brave
and marching into life
on her own terms

NO ONE pushes her
NO ONE decides for her

She is the catalyst for growth 
she is the one that defines the future of the family

Just by being her

The Brave One
Always open but determined

Always loving but centered

Not an emotional mess like the rest of us

Celebration of LIFE

When your youngest child graduates with her undergrad

And you suddenly realize that all of your children are gainfully employed

it is a very strange feeling

They honestly can support themselves
They honestly can make decisions that do not involve your
orchestration
planning for what if
catching them if they fall

They have it all going on!!
And that is a big deal when you have five.

They are there for each other
they love each other beyond anything else
and your net can be a little looser
more fun
and definitely more YOU

It is a right of passage for all of us
