new greeting cards!

I am very excited to launch two new greeting cards! These cards are similar to what I already offer on my website shop, except the message on the back of each card is a quote from a Psalm.

what to say?

During my recovery, I think about life and death. After five years of battling a particularly virulent form of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, my emotions range from fear, anxiety, bone-weariness, exuberance, hope, and disappointment. The physical pain is frustrating: my brain spills over with ideas, while my body hurts and won’t move.

Today is Rosh Hashanah, and if you’re Jewish, you know that it means we’re celebrating a new year, 5783.
