Lily is an amazing young woman. She is the daughter of one of my co-workers – and one of my best friends – Shelly. Lily loves her little sister Scarlet , her dog, crafting, sloths, and The Big Bang Theory.
Currently, Lily is at MacMaster Children’s Hospital, going through her fourth round of chemo treatment for leukemia. Her room is packed full of plush animals, the walls decorated with craft and art projects, and her IV pole is decorated as, and nicknamed, Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
So your CDC Challenge this week is to create a kick@$$ female superhero, featuring the hashtag LilyStrong. Make them teen friendly, and feel free to make them bald. Lily's sister shaved her head in solidarity, and one of her t-shirts is emblazoned with the catch phrase “No Hair…Don’t Care!”
Let’s brighten her day, the Heromachine way!
This week there will be no winner announced. This week it is all about #LilyStrong

Well, everyone, I’ll admit I didn’t know what to write about. I haven’t done anything, haven’t seen anything (thanks, weather) lately. This was very close to just being pictures of and talking about my cat. But instead let’s talk about 2018 and what happened. Of course now I went from nothing to write about to lots to write about, but we’ll start here. So this is my year in review. Not really in any particular order, just the things that made an impact on me this past year.
