Why I Won’t Let Politics Define My Relationships

We hear all the time about how politics divides our country, but recently I experienced it on a deeply personal level—and it hurt my heart. If I’m being honest, the last three presidential elections have been tough for me. I haven’t felt like we had truly great candidates to choose from, and I’ve never fully aligned with everything either the Democrats or Republicans stand for. I do my best to choose the candidate I believe will run the country responsibly—even if they aren’t the most likable person in the room. I’m grateful to live in a democracy where I get to vote, and I take that responsibility seriously. But to me, voting is a civic duty—it’s not a guage for friendship or family relationships. I fully respect that everyone brings their own experiences, values, and priorities to the table. We all see the world through our own lens. That’s why I try to put my energy into things I can directly influence: nurturing healthy family relationships, contributing positively to my comm...

Disenchanted

I am so disenchanted with our US healthcare system. I had to switch insurance back in January and I’ve been paying $480 a month for a health insurance plan that I haven’t been able to use it all, because I haven’t been able to get in with a primary care doctor to talk about my concerns, and none of them are so urgent that I feel like I need to go to an urgent care or emergency room over. So I have just been left to my own devices, to do my own research and try to figure out things on my own. I am thankful that my plan is a high deductible plan that qualifies for a health savings account so I was able to put $4150 (pre-tax) into my health savings account at the beginning of the year when I started the plan, and I’ve been able to use that money on things like a gym membership, vitamins, and supplements, and even some tech related items like a heart rate monitor and smart scale. The reason I qualified to make those purchases with my health savings account is because I’m obese, according t...

Inheriting More Than Land: The Unexpected Responsibility of a Caretaker’s Final Days

I wonder how many are dying alone, without the support of friends or loved ones ? Sometimes you know things are happening but until they impact your life personally, it’s easier to ignore and not think about. That is the situation that my sister and I find ourselves in with the caretaker of my dad’s property in North Idaho. Let me go back and fill you in, in case you aren’t familiar with the situation. Almost exactly 2 years ago my dad passed away abruptly from esophageal cancer, and we inherited his 25 acres in rural North Idaho. There had been a caretaker on his property for many many years who had actually just recently left when my dad got sick, but sadly the property he had moved onto was also owned by someone with recently diagnosed terminal cancer so he agreed to come back to my dad’s property and continue with the caretaking after my dad passed. It was truly a blessing and allowed my sister and I to continue operating his Airbnb, and even turn his primary residence into another...
