Days Right After Thanksgiving

always slow me down in the best way. Once the kitchen is clean and the house finally settles, I find myself thinking about the moments we try so hard to hold onto. The laughs that show up without warning. The small scenes with family that remind us why we create in the first place. These are the memories that stick. These are the moments that matter.

As I look back on this year, I keep returning to the people I had the chance to work with. Students finding their footing, creators sharpening their voice, professionals finally stepping forward with a story they are ready to tell. I am grateful for every one of you. You trusted me with your work, your ideas, and in many cases a piece of your personal journey. That means a lot.

We are about to step into December, which usually brings a mix of pressure and possibility. This time, I am choosing purpose over pressure. I want to close out 2025 with clarity, and walk into 2026 feeling grounded, more intentional, and ready to build with a renewed creative spark.

If you are reading this, I hope you take a moment to pause today. Breathe a bit. Let the quiet settle. The year is not over yet. There is still room for good work, honest reflection, and a fresh reset.

Wishing you and your family peace this Sunday and a steady start to the week ahead.
