These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. Too busy not to post, not per se time-wise, but mostly due to a lack of headspace. It's a toss up of emotions, and yet we barely have time to process it all as we run from appointment to appointment, keeping track of meds, clearing insurance, and … Continue reading Chanukah Reflections

Never Ending.
Another cycle ends, and here we are again. It's hard when all that's supposed to signify renewal becomes a searingly painful reminder of how stuck you are.

I’m told I’m not the first one, Mother of yet unborn, Who looked upon the darkest night, And hoped, yet gently torn...
