A year ago today, the world changed.

I was baking challah with my son, preparing to celebrate Purim and then go watch The Lorax with my mom and sister Ilana.

And then I ended up in the hospital, wheeled into surgery and coming out with a cancer diagnosis.

Today I am going to be a bit of a hermit. Aiden stayed home, so we are going to enjoy the sun, go for a walk, paint together. We will research together the rocks that we are tumbling, we will tackle the next Jules Verne's book together.

Life never gets back to what it used to be, but I think we are starting to figure out this new normal.

Thank you to all of you that saw us through this hellish year! I have finally gotten back on the art horse and am planning some pieces for a convention later this year. I'll be posting some soon!
