Moved to Boise, Idaho

I have moved to Boise, Idaho last May on the 31st.  Although I am glad I left Alaska it's been hard starting over again.  But the Lord has blessed me with so much since being here.  Some Mormon women through away alot of my personal belongings for me including nice clothes, all my books and ECE books when I attended Grays Harbor College in Washington State, and gifts given to me from my sisters, and my temple dresses, and threw my sacred garments in a Liquor Store box to send to me.  And they donated them to a Second Hand Store in Wasilla, Alaska.  The RS President was behind it all. I was pretty much heartbroken when I found out what they did.  Plus one woman was given all my beautiful material and it took me months to get it from her. 

It's been hard forgiving these so called christian Mormon women what they did to me.  I left the church many years ago after my abusive husband was given a temple recommend and took belts and beat his kids with them and treated me like a nobody.  I always believed in my religion but had seen so much abuse in my church including abusive family members that I just walked away.

The only thing that saved me was a good bishop in Anchorage who helped me come back to church.  I now have a temple recommend but since coming to Boise have only gone a few times.  I just live five miles away and no excuse not to go except health problems and cost of gasoline going up to almost $4 a gallon.  My sister Janis sent me a beautiful temple dress.

I almost lost my sister in December and to tell you the truth?  She's about the only family member I have left.  The rest could care less.  I have more friends from Anchorage calling me than I do family members.  I'm glad my sister Carolyn is now a temple worker in Portland but she too kind of keeps to herself these days.

Fat women in America

I know being overweight or obese is unhealthy for us. I've been overweight for sometime now but not nearly as heavy as these poor ladies. I think being overweight is more of an "emotional" issue rather than just genetics or poor eating habits or not enough exercise. When I was in high school I was always told I was too fat and I weighed appromately 140-150 pounds and at almost 5 feet 7 inches tall that wasn't fat at all. I think the abuse of family members and my ex-husband and boyfriends caused me to gain weight more than anything. When you are beaten with a belt by a brother it causes emotional issues. When your sister screams at you all night long she hopes you become a prostitute when you are just 19 it causes emotional issues. Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano...

More and more homeless families and children in America yet President Trumps cuts foodstamps

I guess homeless families, and children, and growing poverty in America doesn't concern a billionaire president who just recently cut foodstamps for America's poor. One out of five children in America today are homeless and hungry yet the richest president in America's history has cut foodstamps more than 1/2 for the nation's poor. And most of them are children. Funny how our government can build new missles, new ships, build a Berlin wall, and help the refugees all across America and yet allow America's most vunerable to go hungy. Shame on you Donald Trump, shame on you!

Homemaking lessons

Back when I was growing up we all took Home Economics in High School; and we had Home-making lessons at church. We learned: Budgeting, sewing, cooking, taking care of children, cleaning house, etc. Some of our projects didn't turn out so well. In church we were taught that having children was the most important role of a woman until you had kids who looked like this: Some women have just given up and have given their kids this for dinner. And we've told the kids to clean up their own messes! We tell our lazy no good husbands to get a job for a change!
