Winter Disruption
It doesn’t take much news to see that winter weather in the United States has been havoc over the last few weeks. Severe cold and huge snowfall amounts contrasting with fires in LA and extreme drought. I’ve been in the middle of some of it. We flew to Salt Lake City for the holidays. As…

Thank you
As I said last week, I’ve been writing here for on full year. Although I’ve taken breaks here and there, I am so thrilled to have reached this milestone! For those of you I know and speak to regularly, thank you for all of your encouragement. I wouldn’t still be doing this without you. To…

Both…And
The last week has been a roller coaster of emotions for most of us. I realize I’m coming to you a day late. I could say that it is because Monday was a holiday. But that would be a lie. My best friend from college came to visit over the weekend. It was a great…

Finding Hope
Happy Wednesday my readers, I’m sorry that I was not around to greet you on Monday. I had two-fold reasons. First, I was shifted into the Treasurer position on our HOA board in August and have felt like I’ve been playing catch up ever since. Over the last two weeks, I’ve been spending most of…

For me, they are a needed safety system. He thinks its fine to sit in a dirty diaper, but I know better. Clean bottoms are…

A simple look back over the summer and you see floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme heat, and drought. These events are almost so common now that it isn’t surprising to hear about another one. No region or country is immune.…

An Experience Abroad
I’m back!!!! If I count you among my friends, you’re aware that I was away from my blog because I was traveling overseas. My brother qualified to compete in the Paris Olympics in 3 different shooting events, and I was lucky enough to be able to travel over there to watch him compete and give…

Love of a Place
Pretty much everyone I have met that is doing this work was drawn into it through love. Love, which we are only capable of, because we were created in God’s image. For me, that love is for a specific place, Yellowstone. I spent my early childhood living within its boundaries. Then spent my middle and…

Extreme Heat
If you are lucky enough to live somewhere that has not seen the effects of climate change through increased fire, flooding, tornadoes, or hurricanes, you have probably still seen the effects of climate change through temperature. This week heat made the news both as current heat waves continue and as statistics published on last years…
