On this Monday morning, I am sitting here, filled with immense gratitude. I am grateful for being here, now, grateful for having got to this point in my life, and especially grateful for all the people in my life.
I choose to share this gratitude with you, reading this, and the hope that, just from time to time, you, too, have reason to be thankful.

🎉 1 MILLION VIEWS!! 🎉

When I launched my YouTube channel Hebrew by Inbal in July 2022, I dreamed of creating a space where Hebrew learners could dive deeper and access free, exclusive lessons. Now, 1 million views later—right before 2025—I’m overwhelmed with gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who has watched, subscribed, and joined this incredible journey. Your support fuels my passion every day.

If you haven’t joined yet, what are you waiting for? Let’s learn Hebrew together! Here’s to even greater milestones in the new year. 🌟

Happy holidays and a heartfelt todah rabah! ❤️

"Impression, Sunrise," Claude Monet, 1872.

Monet needs no introduction, but this canvas deserves note.

In 1874, this was first exhibited as part of a group of artists who had similar outlooks. The title of "Impression, Sunrise" actually ended up giving the Impressionist movement its name.

Depicting the port of Le Havre (Monet's home), some of accused it of being unfinished and Monet being a sort of con artist in claiming it was only an "impression." But...I think that's sour grapes. Definitely a lovely image.

From the Musée Marmottan Monet, Paris.

A milestone???

Prior to my cancer, I had bought an espresso machine. I made espresso just about every day. I like espresso.

When my cancer struck, it affected my brain. The complexities of espresso were too much for me. I stopped using it. I'm not sure when, but it was definitely in 2020 that I stopped.

The machine came with me in the divorce. I had stored it in my bedroom closet.

Today, I took it out. I don't know how long it is going to take to bring it back from the dead. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment.

I also need to get back into the groove of actually making espresso.

Wish me luck!

@mastodonusercount Well, it's taken us nearly a year, but we now have enough accounts here for the entire 15,178,979 person #population of Zimbabwe.

The next largest population we could wholly cater for is that of Ecuador at 16,938,986, due to them apparently having dropped a few places since the last count.
