Sky Rockets

My hometown, Boise Idaho, skipped puberty and became an adult overnight.  With this newfound growth and population increase, we are very fortunate to support a thriving artistic community.  My compadres tell me this a national phenomenon whereby the talent is leaving the larger cities due...

Smothered

Surrender Yoga will be available in four to six weeks.  I accumulated the experiences for five years and began the writing process in January of 2018.  On the first day of writing and each following day, I felt like a baby chick staring at a...

Steamy Happiness

During the writing of A Million Steps, I would consciously drift into the future with thoughts about what may happen upon release of the book.  My darker side was fearful about terrible reviews.  I was also anxious about recouping the money that I spent on...

Branching Out

I am a fan of Facebook and have gratitude for the ability to communicate with people throughout the world and stay in touch with the many people I meet during my travels.  I like any platform that allows people to connect and form relationships.  It...

X S

I am 54 years old and have been lucky to visit Ketchum, Idaho at some point during each one of those years.  This is some of the most beautiful country in the world nestled between several amazing mountain ranges.  This state has 30 mountain peaks...
