I’m fast approaching my one year hiatus from social media. This is me dipping my big nasty toe in to the oceans of millions, hoping to cast a net of reality and truth around the dirty C-word. It’s not my favorite rooster nor is it the c-u-next Tuesday option. It’s that word that people, even in 2019, whisper. Cancer. Ugh. I promise this isn’t a blog on how one family survives or a blog on being a super heroine. It’s simply about life. A life where there is a husband, a son, extended family, friends and one woman with an illness. It’s about a life where there is food, wine, tears, laughter and a shit ton of swear words interwoven. I hope in the end (and there will be an end-you can laugh morbidly) you will walk away with a good recipe, a funny story or simply a better understanding of what makes us humans so incredible.

So with that, I guess we have a start.
