Beautiful blue skies illuminate above as the cool brisk air rejuvenates the soul. Idaho is some kind of winter wonderland right now, full of expansive, open roads and large, snow-covered meadows, representative of the future that lies before me.
Here winter has come to rest. The people are friendly and kind. 
Life is at an all around slower pace.
It is here that I sit to ponder my life’s priorities. Who am I as an artist, mother, and community activist? How have I changed over time? What have I yet to experience and look forward to? Where will I be in a few years? Are my expectations realistic and my dreams worthy of coming true?
